Ugh, what is with the weather! It’s been completely insane lately–Calgary is slated to receive 5 more cm of snow on top of the 5-10cm we got last night. Hopefully the city isn’t falling apart; we tend to lose our brains when it snows.

Anyways, here’s some art! I’ve been on a gouache/evil drag queen kick. I’ve got some cockamamie idea about drag queens in space, fighting each other in dazzling, magical girl-style battles. How amazing would that be?! (Probably only amazing to me.)

A little preview of an upcoming personal/self-promo piece, based off of the bond siblings share with another.

Good news, everyone! I am now officially being represented by Three in a Box Agency.
I am excited to work with them, and keep posted for our future projects together.

Here is a preview image, for their Box Lunch promotional package:

Hello all!
Here’s a preview image of the super top-secret (not really) project writer Kurtis Weibe and I are collaborating on.
It’s about a trio of kids that gets into very interesting hijinks.

Frank Zigarelli is responsible for the lettering and speechbubbles.
I hope you all like it! It will be available at Emerald City Comic con, I think, in Seattle.

I just wanted to take a moment to remember an amazing instructor who has recently passed away.
Eugene was one of my favourite instructors at ACAD, he was funny, lively and incredibly encouraging.
If it wasn’t for his mentoring, I don’t think I would be where I am today.

So I just wanted to say that we all miss you, Eugene, and my prayers are with his family.

NSFW, swearing and nude mans!

This is for all you new dads:

Adventures in gouache!

And I bring to you, the First Daily Tanya Fail! This one is of how my mother claimed she was going to “just trim your bangs a bit, dear,” and ended up chopping off a head of shoulder-length hair. RAGE!

And there we have it! There will be more to come, and I hope you enjoyed the inaugural opening of Tanya Fails!
