im going to have to update the health card comic now that manitoba might leave us in the dust once and for all
i WISH a lot of things were different but can't i just have ableg be JUST petty enough to catch up?? i know i'm more likely to get the opposite effect where they entrench paper cards without photos/expiry dates that are easily crushable/smudgeable/forgable/stealable as Part of Our Heritage Love it or Leave it but COME ONNNNNNN!!

i had this comic in mind for the past couple months and only just now got around to executing it haha. edmonton is always covered in gravel and sand left behind after the snow and ice melts in march and april before street sweeping begins, an annual condition that victoria basically never experiences ever. if we're lucky, we might even see a daffodil or two before may!
as always, vic chick belongs to @orcanadian-blog (who will forgive me for accidentally tagging her human name WRONG for months without me even noticing, i hope ;))) )

took my first bike ride of the year (just a teeny tiny one) and ohhhh man my mountain bike needs some Work Done and I have to get the basket Off before it does any more damage to it ;~; its too bad it is so allergic to Carrying Capacity because it's been my trusty bike for so long
but that means BB (Blessed Bike/Beast depending on its mood) is going to be enlisted to take me to whyte ave tomorrow for my first Big Trip of the year (and the beginning of Anti-3-of-Swords Little Treat Birthday Week since that tarot keeps insisting on coming true). If it's nice enough, it would be good to stop somewhere in the area to do some painting too, the major challenge being that my favourite place to get little treats and the One Place in strathcona I like to paint is in dangerously close proximity.

Updates (and a poll?)
Hi all,
I've been neglecting this blog for a bit because I've been having a rough time. I lost a family member a few weeks ago and even though I was as prepared as I could be, it was still difficult and I found it hard to think much about a lot of things that inspire me with regards to this blog because I look around and have all these memories (and unanswered questions). (however, i also have inherited a bunch of recipes which is an enormous piece of 'berta history. to me, anyway. and i haven't even told you about the oilers cookbook.)
I am still having good days and bad days but I do want to think towards a future when I can start chipping away at those last ten or so asks in the box. And hey, since there's about ten, why don't we prioritize them with another mysterious emoji poll for me to look at when I feel up to it?
no wrong answers here just pick what you're vibing with :)

in true canadian fashion: sorry i'm late
although, in some ways, i'm actually early. You know what I realized doing this ambitious painting? this year is going to be the 15th anniversary of IAMP.
The call for auditions was uploaded September 22, 2009, and if I recall correctly my audition as artist and VA was accepted around October or November of that same year. I've grown a lot as an artist and as a person in that long time and for some weird reason I just can't let these guys go.
anyway, thanks for everyone who participated in the roulette, I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but I really struggle drawing all of these guys without losing steam. it really helped! especially since I don't do a lot of gouache work and I second guessed myself a lot. It warms my heart a little to see you guys engaged in this silly game.
what else is there to say. oh yeah, I put two types of maple leafs. the stereotypical sugar maple is in the upper right of course, but I also put a manitoba maple in the lower left because that's the kind of maple I'm most familar with where I'm from. it's long been my mission to bring the western rep in whatever I do, so it's kind of my love letter signature to my own constantly changing understanding of Who Am I and Where Am I From.
anyway. enjoy :) i enjoyed making it. thanks to ctcsherry for creating these guys

Medea’s Reasons by Salma Deera 
This is probably my favorite poem, and a couple of years back, I illustrated it through a series of portraits featuring women from biblical stories, folklore, and mythology. I wanted to revisit the poem and create something that was more simple and focused on the titular heroine.

Wish I was a late bronze age girl
I would have my homeland invaded by the sea peoples. I would be lain siege to by the sea peoples. My cities would be sacked by the sea peoples. I would make bronze tools and pottery. My shores would be invaded by the mysterious sea peoples. I would be mustering my armies to fend off the sea peoples.

Hope this ain't too much to ask, but if not, Ralph in B4 and Owen in A5? Thanks ^_^ !!
The boys having a tea party with Nanook.

She even did their makeup, jewellery and nails for them. (All the earrings are clip on earrings)
The boys are being too polite to say anything.
(The jewellery is based off of my Kokum’s jewellery, some of her pieces were from pow wows (most of the stuff turtle related), others were gifts from my Moshom)

Condensed Milk - A Dirty Money Comic pt 15

apart from this being THE WORST THING i have ever drawn so far (the only context for which is this). I've got no notes so here's something @quatschmachen wrote instead:
I (F, 255) have a friend (M, 414) who has a terrible boyfriend (M, 119), call him Jerk. They broke up three years ago, and I was so happy that this terrible relationship was over... or so I thought.
I decided to come visit my friend, only to find Jerk is there! I have spent the past 3 years shit talking Jerk and affirming to my friend that breaking up was the right decision.
Here is the part where I may have been the asshole. Jerk was serving me tea and pretending to be nice, when I went ahead and vented to him about why he was here and what he was doing. I did not hold back, but honestly, I wanted to make sure my friend wasn't somehow being blackmailed. Me and Jerk ended up in a big fight, and my friend had to separate us. My friend assured me Jerk had apologized but then admitted the words "I'm sorry" did not even occur.
Afterwards I ended up accidentally on purpose breaking Jerk's collar bone... but he deserved it after insulting a literary classic.
AITA?

User987: hold up, the age gap his how much?! problematic from the start. Are you sure your friend isn't taking advantage of the other person?
User69;): This isn't your relationship. I understand being concerned for your friend, but getting into a physical altercation is too much. ESH

the good news: the sun came out and i thought id bring my gouache out so that i dont just sit here thinking about using it and not doing it
the bad news: i forgot last may i PUNCTURED the pink tube and hastily scraped the remainder into a pill bottle so i may very well need to get New Gouache at some point. if i actually use it, of course.
