On Sunday September 28 (it seems so long ago now!) I had the immense pleasure of participating in the Queer Comics Artists panel at Word Under the Street, the comics/zine portion of the Word on the Street festival.

This is me, Patrick Fillion, Janine Fuller, Ken Boesem, listening to Tyler Dorchester… John Crossen is sitting to my right… Janine is such a fabulous wonderful moderator!

Here are two more photos of me, one showing my intense love for Hothead Paisan, and the other showing my fabulous socks, which have comics on them– not sure if you can tell.

I look a little crazy here…

Maybe here too…

Thanks to Patrick’s boyfriend Fraser for the photos…

This is a card I made for my friend Terra’s birthday…

Dear readers, guess what? This is my last column for Xtra West. I’ve had so much fun here over the past three years. What could be better than having a public forum for my various ponderings, rants, opinions and even, I admit it, some whining? How luxurious, how decadent. But the time has come to focus my time and energy on new endeavours. More…

Coming soon…
