PACE: Dispatches from the WEC - Part 1

SCHEDULE JULY 7th-9th
THURSDAY: 10:30am - 5:00pm (or later)
FRIDAY: CLOSED
SATURDAY: 8:30am - 12:00pm

My first week at the WEC (West End Cottage) is nearing it's end but thankfully there's still plenty of time to go. My Residency runs until the end of August and I'll be spending most of that time in the quaint little home you see below:

471 Notre Dame St. Summerside, PE

So far I've been mostly occupied with moving in and setting up shop, figuring out what I need and what I forgot to bring. I'm pretty much up and running now and look forward to getting down to business just as soon as I finish this post.

I've covered the walls with original artwork from the first Angora Napkin graphic novel along with tumbnails and roughs for those pages. There's almost half a dozen sketchbooks full of Mygrain comics and other junk to flip through. I've even brought along some canvases in case I get the urge to do some painting. 

I started this painting years ago... Will I finish it??

I'll post my tentative schedule here the first of every week. This is open to the public so come on in, I'll make you a coffee while you read a comic, check out the art or watch the Angora Napkin cartoon! Who are you to resist?

Happy Canada Day!

It's Canada Day here in Canada! My you find a hobo in your bathtub on this special day!

Wow, the next two months are going to be a blast! I'll be starting my PACE residency "officially" on July 4th, but I expect it'll take until the following week before I actually get set up and a schedule worked out. I'll be doing a lot of blogging during my time in Summerside and have a lot of fun events in the works so keep checking back for updates!

Speaking up updates, I'm pleased to announce that I'm (as of yesterday) half way done the colouring stage of the next Angora Napkin book! I managed to finish 24 pages in June, much better then the previous month. Well, it's all down hill from here, right? Right?
