This is someone I met in the park a couple weeks ago… here he is, and you can also see him in Geist magazine, the summer issue (#73). This is one of my first attempts at using a brush and ink, and pens with nibs. Fun.

I like to take Jackson with me to work when I can. Lately I have been doing some writing for a small non-profit in Gastown. Jackson came with me one day when I was doing some research at their office and we met Audrey, who seemed nice at first…

Here’s another view of Audrey…

And this is Jackson. I’ve had him for two and a half years now, but I still can’t quite draw him right. His face is not so long. He is a papillon, male, tri-colour, 3 years old.

This past fall, my dog Jackson and I spent some time on the seawall. We met many small dogs, including this one.

And her owner…

My cartoon about the things people said to me and my family when my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease is now on the Alzheimer Society of Canada website.
