A marathon, not a sprint. #comics #IntoTheBushComic

Attended another drop-in life drawing session again, this time with @cmcdonaldart.bsky.social 💖✏️

Life drawing January 2026 #lifedrawing

Monday night rehearsal. (I can’t complain too much though, because once we dutifully played our one note, the brass section was let go early.) #comics #music #trumpet

Some panels from my comic #IntoTheBushComic Part 2, which can be read for free at the link in my bio. #comics

Another #IntoTheBushComic video edit, featuring some of the best voice acting ever from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K #comics

I’ve been long overdue for an adventure, so I took myself and my new hat (thanks Irene!) out to hike Quarry Rock in Deep Cove. It was so warm, I was hiking in t-shirt and shorts—even the mosquitos forgot it was January. #pleinair

A cycling poster Christmas gift for my sister and her boyfriend of a climb they did last year (dusk and day versions). I really struggled with this one, but am reasonably satisfied with how it turned out in the end. #cycling #roadcycling #vrsic

My daily affirmation #comics

I almost forgot why I love drawing #comics

August life drawing #lifedrawing

At this age, I have more in common with the anti-establishment terrorist defeated in episode 1 than the main character 😅 #FullmetalAlchemist #comics

Yo throwback to when I was in graduate school lol #comics

Work + life have been so busy these past couple months that I haven't had time to draw. I miss my friends. #IntoTheBushComic #comics

Another #IntoTheBushComic edit, audio from the tv show Teen Wolf #comics

Another successful #TCAF for the books, June 2025. #TorontoComicArtsFestival

Outrageous behaviour from a local untended rose bush. Everything here in Vancouver, especially flowers, grows so enthusiastically. #pleinair

Self portrait at work, May 2025.

A tribute to Toronto #Toronto

Taking a break from pencils to get back on my inking bullshit (ie. struggling to draw speech bubbles). #comics #IntoTheBushComic

A very chill, low-stakes first day at work. #comics

You win some, you lose some… #comics #IntoTheBushComic

New library system, new me. #VancouverPublicLibrary (Also if anyone has Vancouver food recommendations, hit me up).

Life drawing January and February 2025 #lifedrawing

There was enough wind and drifting snow that by the time I finished drawing the train tracks, I couldn’t follow my own knee-deep footprints back because they had already been wiped away. #Hamilton #pleinair #HamiltonRailTrail

The Buttress was my most listened to artist last year, entirely due to Sept-Dec. #music #TheButtress

The man, the myth, the legend: Richard Ayoade as Moss from The IT Crowd. #TheITCrowd

Sometimes the thumbnails turn out better than the final pencils…oh well. #IntoTheBushComic #comics

Some single-page spreads from my comic Into The Bush, free to read here 👉 www.webtoons.com/en/challenge... #comics #IntoTheBushComic

The Cootes was frozen over this weekend, so I day-tripped to Hamilton for a skate & a draw #CootesParadise #pleinair

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

TWO HOURS my friend and I spent looking for this $@*#%ing side trail. Points for creativity but blazes don’t work that way. #comics #hiking #JokersHill

Heavy-handed visual metaphor from my comic ISCARIOT, free to read here 👉 www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/is... #comics #IscariotComic

The happier timeline #IntoTheBushComic #comics

The final assignment for an online comics class I took with the Joe Kubert School #comics

Talking with other people who have the same interests is SUCH A GOOD FEELING. Go email you heroes. #science #comics (Figure from Vandeputte et al. (2024) Characterization of novel nitazene recreational drugs…)

Inking kicking my whole ass—thank god for white gouache. #comics #IntoTheBushComic

Thursday night rehearsal #music #jazz #trumpet

Highway 60 corridor, South Algonquin #pleinair

Now that I’ve had both time and emotional distance from these pages—and seeing them displayed in someone else’s house—some of my work on my comic ISCARIOT might actually kind of slap? #IscariotComic #comics

Southbound on highway 400, at dusk.
