Orange Cat

Not been doing too much. Watching the news, and despairing for humanity. Drawing a lot of black and white anonymous faces, which aren't too interesting to look at. Maybe I should be putting them up. But here's a cat inspired by Joann Sfar.

Hey, I kind of like the Orange Cat. It goes well with the background. Other drawings, like the previous one, I'm not so fond of, and am happy when they get bumped down in the queue. But this isn't about prettiness. I don't know what it's about, actually. More my response to the day, mainly in the form of sketches, and a modicum of writing. I'm trying not to censor. I suppose if it was really like that, I'd post a sketch every day, good or bad, because I draw a lot of sketches.

Feel very lucky I'm living in Montreal at the moment. Don't know how they would have handled the ice storm in a place down south, but imagine it would involve heavy weaponry fired in unexpected directions.

Quebec is a little crazy in some ways: its crime blotter is certainly unusual and splashy. But I feel more of a sense of community around here, which is probably buttressed by a certain amount of money, even though this area is near a place rumoured to be one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Canada. Sorry, don't have stats to back that up. This ain't my journalism -- it's blogism!
