Vineyard Craft Sale - Buy Handmade!

I am in an art and craft sale coming up on Saturday the 28th at the Vineyard Church in Winnipeg. It should be a really good sale with a lot of different artisans and craftspeople selling an assortment of handmade items. Be sure to check it out if you are in Winnipeg as it will be a great place to buy Christmas gifts.

HANDMADE = BETTER THAN WALMART

Also it is a fundraiser for a Women's Co-op in Nepal, which my brother had seen in it's baby stages when he was in Nepal last year. He can vouche that it's a worthwhile cause.

Sam's Organs

My good friend Sam was sick a few weeks ago with a burst appendix. She was quite ill and had to have surgery to remove what was left of her appendix. Fortunately she is now doing fine and recovering well. For a while there she was quite sickly and in a lot of pain. This picture describes the doctors washing off her organs to keep infection away. Read about Sam's account on her blog.

New Background colours

I'm trying out the new white background format. I think it looks cleaner and makes it easier to read, but I'm not entirely convinced, so I may change it back.

"As it tended to do, it was ready to annouce its idea."

Brain Picking

I've been doing small drawings lately, and then have been colouring them in with ink. I like this one, it is silly. The background colour has been coloured digitatlly, but the rest with ink and watercolours. There is something satisfying about making these silly things.

Floating down

Just a little drawing I did. only the blue part is digitally coloured.

Silent Reading includes both Reading and Silence

I sub at a junior high school regularly. Last week it was silent reading for the whole period for two grade 8 classes. Grade 8s as it turns out are not altogether excited about reading, and reading silently. They inspired this drawing.
