Blind Alley will return...

Hi folks,

After the first chapter of Brambles concludes with strip No. 55, Blind Alley will return the following week. I think this will happen sometime in March. I'm already working away on Blind Alley again between some freelance work and a short unnannounced comic. :o) 

Blind Alley will continue to be posted three times a week on patreon. The Sunday strip will also return! I have aspirations to do Blind Alley daily for a stint b...

A Year in Review: Looking into 2024

There's a lot happening next year.

Some of this is pie-in-the-sky but I'd like to share what I am planning or hoping to achieve in 2024. I like to keep myself busy but I'm maybe aiming to do a bit too much. Regardless, writing this down will help make me feel accountable to myself haha.

Festivals

First off, I'll be attending Angouleme this January as part of the exhibition highlighting Canadian cartoonists! This is my first time attending th...

A Year in Review: My Favourite Things

Films

Notes on films:

- This list is all "first-watches".

- I rewatched Uncle Boonmee for the first time since my first viewing in 2013 (which I watched on a terrible 360p stream) and I think it's maybe my favourite thing i watched this year. Watching it again this year, I realized how much of an impression the visuals of the ...

Whether or not this is particularly interesting to anyone, here it is! It touches upon how I write and think of Blind Alley and my longer work.

As a fan of both animation and as someone who owes a life debt  to Pe...

A Year in Review: My Year in Projects

Hello all,

Whew.

Somehow, suddenly, and bewilderingly it's December again.

I figured sitting down to write my annual "Year in Review" would be a decent salve for the end-of-the-year existential-crisis I feel hiding amongst the branches of the Christmas tree. I sat down at my computer and searched through the tags on my patreon to try and find what sort of format these posts have followed in the past and, to my surprise, I discovered that I'd only done this once before in 202...
