Things to Come.... Later.

Hello

I must apologize to those of you who have been kindly reading my serial story "Things to Come".  I have not come out with a new chapter in quite some time.  Sorry.

"Things to Come" is officially on hiatus.  I have been concentrating my efforts on 1) the care of my young son and 2) the development of the comic strip, "Metropolis".  (Side Note: CTV has signed on as a sponsor for the Richmond Children's Arts Festival.  With any luck, you can see Metropolis hanging in the background of some CTV Vancouver news item.)

I do intend to continue, and yes complete, the story.  I hope that when I do you will return and continue to enjoy reading it.

Until then, please enjoy the comic strip.

I thank you for your kind support.

Metropolis in the Cultural Centre Gallery

Hi

I'm pleased to say that the Metropolis gallery show is back up again.  This time it is at the Richmond Cultural Centre (7700 Minoru Gate, in Richmond B.C. Canada).

It will be there for the entire month of February.  This coincides with the Children's Arts Festival at the venue the week of Feb. 11/2013.

The Rotunda gallery is on the second floor (you can see it from the ground floor, just look up).  I hope you'll stop by and check it out.

 

Thanks again to my friend Morley for helping me make everything look straight on a curved wall.

Check out Morley's art here.

Have a great day.

Metropolis - Chapter 23

Hi.

I've been learning a lot about different pencils and drawing instruments recently.  Even though the final product might not seem that different, it really improves your drawing technique and ability to know about the tools you use.  That goes for digital tools too.  You pros already know this, but kids, you should definitely study your different pencils.

...I wish I could draw like Jeff Smith...

Here is the latest chapter.  Enjoy.

Metropolis: The Gallery Show... will Return!

Hi

So today I took down the gallery show that was hanging in the Gateway Theatre lobby.  If you missed it, don't worry.  The show will hang at the Richmond Cultural Centre for the entire duration of February.  Please stop by and take a look.

The Richmond Cultural Centre is located at 7700 Minoru Gate Richmond, BC V6Y 1R9.  It is the same building as the main branch of the Richmond Public Library.

Here's a picture of me at the opening of Fiddler on the Roof (Which was awesome.  Sorry if you missed it.).

I was looking a little rough for the pictures taken at the installation of the gallery show.  I'm dressed a little nicer, but the photos are fuzzy because they were taken on my wife's cell phone.

Have a great day.
