I’m spending this lovely Sunday evening making Stray Kitties stickers which will be for sale at LADIES’ NIGHT, hosted by the ever-delightful Strange Adventures comic book shop.

Endzo is back in Halifax, and he/she’s better than ever. A favorite local tagger of mine, Endzo stopped putting up new work for a time. Last week, however, I came across this new tag and my jaw dropped. I am WELL HAPPY to see Endzo is back. I’d be even happier if I had the chance to meet him/her. Ooof. The dream.

Possibly due to the back medication, but I think it’s obvious. There’s a sweet reverse shadow of a skull on my ceiling!
Woooo, our apartment is possessed!

Polaroid Postcards!
Did you guys forget about these amazing little treasures you requested? I’m sure you did, and I’m sure you thought I did as well. Alas, ‘tis not true! I’ve been in a bit of a battle with the post office regarding what exactly can be mailed as a postcard and what cannot. Because I “laminated” certain portions of the postcards, stamps and other such important info could not adhere to the surface. I’ve solved the problem, and have the postcards set and ready to hit the mail on Monday. I’m very excited to push these tiny art pieces into the real world. They’re nervous, but I know they can stand the heat.

The ever-delightful Ivy Jones sent in these super snapshots of some Stray Kitties she spied around Halifax, Nova Scotia. If you have a moment, I would strongly suggest checking out Ivy’s website, which features some of the work she has been making while attending NSCAD (an art university here in the city). Ms Jones has a fascinating aesthetic, and the more she makes the more I get excited about her future. And potentially the future of my own closet.
BIG NEWS:
Toronto, Ontario will be getting slathered in Stray Kitty street art mid-March, so watch your streets, your lamp posts, and your abandoned wall spaces. These kitties are looking for some sneaky spots to call their own. Here at headquarters we’re all very busy and very excited as a result of this upcoming adventure in central Canada.
Cheers,

Hey Lovely Folk!
The Doodle Art Tote Bags are slowly being added to my Etsy shop today & this evening. There are only four at the moment, but hopefully I will be able to produce more as time goes on. I’ve really been enjoying this project, and sincerely hope I can make it into something larger.
Also, any reblogs or further word-spreading would be greatly appreciated. I know you’ve all been helping me out so much, I hope I’m not over-staying my welcome by asking for a little more aid.
Many many thanks!

So I just got back from hanging out with (ie, babysitting) my two year old neighbour and little buddy Piper. We spend a lot of weekday mornings together. Today she found out how much I adored Winnie The Pooh as a kid, and how gutted I was that I missed the new film while it was in cinemas. Obviously, Piper was super obliging and totally knew how touched I’d be if she suggested I borrow the DVD.
Piper knows where it’s at.

A better shot of today’s tote bag.
Playing around is paying off.
(Valentine’s Day is on my mind, but in a weird, sad, sticky way.)

Yesterday’s tote bag finally finished up and properly photographed. As I said, I am hoping to post these on Etsy, but I’d like to do it when I have at least 5 done. This Saturday I managed to sell three bags, so I haven’t been able to keep enough around for the Etsy shop, alas. (No complaints here, I’ll tell you. Instead, many many many thankyous!).

Every single one of us has been this wanker at some point on the internet. If you think you haven’t been, you are sadly, sadly, sadly deluded.

PS - Props go to HUGHBOT (he writes CRIMES AGAINST HUGH’S MANATEES) for suggesting I use my creatures in my comics. It cuts the anxiety by 1000%. Thanks again, buddy!
PPS - I will likely continue to be this wanker at some later date in my internet usage.

Another “Doodle Bag” in the works this afternoon, here’s a progress shot. If I manage to get a few of these made, I’ll pop them up on the Stray Kitties Etsy shop this weekend. Stay tuned!

EDIT: SOLD
Back to painting tote bags today. Here’s a few shots of me mixing the “paint” (read: liquid plastic) to my desired consistency. I’ve found everyone has their own preference when it comes to paint consistency. In the end, it depends entirely on the the style you intend to work in, and the type of fabric you will be using as a surface. (IMHO).
