Heatin up

Dear universe, I still exist.

Still working two jobs. I was pretty sick for two weeks, I had the flu which turned into a sinus infection that I was too stubborn to get meds for for a while. Now I am antibiotic-ed up and feeling better!

My comic Tales from the Vault is still going (tell all your friends!) and I ordered some business cards from moo.com and they look great! I do suggest. Meanwhile my dad is coming up for a visit for my brothers convocation for his Masters! Very excited for that. And not long after that I'll be gearing up for my trip to Newfoundland, which is making me so excited I could explode!!! 22 days. Follow me on twitter (@lenoracle) and you will see my Newfoundland countdown which consists of me listing all the things I want to do in Newfoundland when I'm there for every day I am waiting to be there.

Meanwhile, it has been heating up here in Ottawa! It's been off and on 34 with humidity, which is a bit hot for me. And for the kitties.

My kitties have been sleeping like they're dead all week during the day! I've actually checked a few times (I'm a paranoid mommy). But it's kind of blissful when they're in that state, no one fights and I get to pick on them all I want.

So how is everyone elses summer gearing up? Any great summer plans?

Newfoundland!

I have booked a flight to Newfoundland on June 15th! I will be flying in to lovely St. John's then going across eventually to my hometown, Stephenville, and flying back to Ottawa out of there on the 25th. I miss home and all my pals soooooooo much. And the ocean! Geez!
Okay so if you don't know much about Newfoundland, here is one of the beautiful tourism ads they are playing on tv. The ads are so good, I tear up every time.

Isn't the place I am from the most beautiful place in the world!!!! Why am I not there right now?

New comic and my drunk kitchen!

Someday I will finish my painting. Someday...

In the meantime I am working on my comic and working. Always. As usual.

Meanwhile, if you haven't heard of my drunk kitchen you should check it out. I spend a few hours with my pal Brad dying in laughter at her last night. She is adorable and hilarious.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Old artwork (and webcomic in the works)

I purchased a domain for a webcomic now that my artist website is up and running. I have been crazy busy, constantly working and trying to make art and keep in touch with all my friend folk. Also my brother's cat just moved in for a visit while he's trying to sell his house, so I had to get her and my cat getting along.

But I have been working on some art! I'm still working on my big painting, and I have been doing some fun things with beeswax. More to come!

In the meantime, I thought it would be nice to share some of my older artwork. This was part of my independent work in fourth year. It is a plaster cast of lighters, which I have painted Gucci, Adidas, Apple, the Olympic rings, a Jesus fish, Rock band 2, Martha Stewart and Barbie on. The idea behind this was the juxtaposition of symbols, the lighter as a symbol of smoking and drug use against symbols that would not typically be related to those things. Doing so my intent was to cause the viewer to question the meaning of these symbols and how they actually relate in society, and what they are supposed to represent. Perhaps questioning their assumptions.

Anyways, as soon as more art or the website is up I will share.
