Pope Stephen

Colbert's looking for a new portrait? Here ya go... no papal bull!

whodunit 2010

I referred to the OCAD whodunit fundraiser in an earlier post. The gala was held this weekend so here are the two anonymous pics I submitted.

What can I say. I like dragons and chefs!

Gordon and me (he said "call me Gordon")

Here's me looking a little shell shocked getting my picture with Gordon Ramsay. I wanted to give him copies of my Neil Flambe books (he'd read an advance copy and gave me the blurb GOOD FUN - only Ramsay F-word I could use on a kids book!) and some bookmarks I made for his children

I wasn't expecting the photo really. I would have worn platform shoes!

2010 linocut

Here's the rough sketch for this years CBC Sounds of the Season linocut print. I'll print about 300 or so.

Many people asked for an image that could hang all year on the wall - so an apple pie seems like something both festive and year-round.

Donate 100 (or more) and then email me with your address. I hope to start printing next week and mailing the week after that.

Links will be up on the cbc site soon.

I haven't posted in a while as I've been busily trying to finish Neil Flambe #3 (first draft is now done). I did take some time this week to design a logo for my friend Sean's school. They held a contest to pick a mascot and then asked me to do the drawing. Behold the Westwood Wolf!

School visits

I love doing school visits and was recently at the Country Day School in King City.

Beautiful fall foliage outside and a chance to talk about my books to lots of students. I always try to end my chats with my patented 5-second cartooning class.

I will post some pics tomorrow, but had a great day today at the Vancouver Writer's Festival with fellow author Shauntay Grant... she brought her own drums!
