Let’s Talk About Charli on the Beach
In May of 2020, a naturist on Twitter after seeing one of the characters in my original comic ‘Bratstreet’, asked me why I wasn’t doing a naturist comic. The truth was that, at the time, I was extremely wary about drawing a comic introducing nude children and wondered if the world was ready for it. […]

Let’s Talk About Three Mile Beach
It’s day 4 of my 5 day trip to Summerland, B.C., Canada. On the 3rd day, despite calls for the weather to be less than exemplary, the friend of mine I’m staying with and I took off for a little clothing-optional beach outside of the nearby city of Penticton, called Three Mile Beach. If you […]

Let’s Talk About Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024
It’s a miracle! I have on my 3rd of 9 days off, and am currently aboard a ferry heading to the BC Mainland on the beginning leg of a road trip to the interior of the Province. Summerland, specifically, a tiny town a couple of hours south of the bustling Conservative hotbed metropolis of Kelowna. […]

Let’s Talk About Childhood Trauma
One thing that I’ve noticed when I post any of my drawings that include children is how much FEWER impressions and engagements I get on those drawings. People don’t hit ‘like’ on them as much, the views drop dramatically, and nobody seems to want to engage with the write-ups I do that accompany those drawings. […]

Let’s Talk About August 15, 2024
I knew what I wanted to draw today before I even woke up. The drawing is from a photo from a trip to Wreck Beach in August of 2020. My friend and her family accompanied me for a day, which started out rainy and chilly and nasty, but the forecast said it would be nice, […]

Let’s Talk About My Brain and My Art Process
Hoo boy folks. Have I ever learned something about myself today. I decided to do an art challenge on a Discord server I’m a part of. The challenge was to do timed figure drawings. So, since I didn’t really have anyone I could get to pose for me in a life drawing session (at least, […]

Let’s Talk About Sunday, August 11th, 2024
It’s 8:24am currently, and I started up my PC in order to sit down to do a little drawing, as I’m wont to do on any day I don’t have to work in the morning, and I suddenly find myself just… uninterested. Uninspired. I flipped through my photos looking for something, but nothing jumps out […]

Let’s Talk About How We’re Failing Children
We live in a bizarre world at the moment. Never in the history of our current western society have we spent so much time and energy saying all the right things when it comes to “protecting the children” (and saying plenty of wrong things too), yet DOING absolutely nothing to back up those words. We […]

Let’s Talk About Emotions
Oh, emotions. Those silly little things that tend to creep up on us and control so many aspects of our lives and existences. For the last little while, I’ve been suffering under another bout of unlooked for and surprising anger. I just seem to be angry at everything over the last 4 days. Angry at […]

Let’s Talk About August 5, 2024
First of all, thank you for bearing through my insanity laden post yesterday. It was a bit of a venting and I feel maybe I needed that. I had an extremely angry day yesterday, right to about 4 or 5 pm, where I finally started to feel more like myself. I also think I have […]
