So, our first legit show is this Saturday night!  Immediately after the show I'm moving back up to Toronto for two weeks, where Rich & I will finish packing and prepping for our Bicycle Busking Tour!  Aaah!  Fun times all the time.

why hello!

why hello!  these wonderful pictures were taken by jovan matic, a photographer based in toronto.  i've been busking in kensington market in toronto for the past month with my dear friend richard, kickass clarinet player supreme who also rocks that stetson hat pretty well.  we've been playing klezmer-gypsy-jazz-old-timey-esque styles mostly, and people seem to enjoy it-- dancing, smiling, laughing, singing along, tossing money in the hat.  fun times to the max, lots of fantastic experiences.  nice to finally have some shots of what we look like playing together-- what a funny pair!

 

sketch dump, just for you.

here's a sneek peek drawing of a sloth.  just found a scanner in the room i'm staying in, and am trying to hook it up & see if it functions.  if so there will be more posted soon!

Here's a collaboratively-crafted merchandise set-up for the amazing  Anna Atkinson-- fantastic musician and all-round great gal, and also happens to be my aunt.  She's taking this kooky collapsible set-up with her as she tours across Canada by train with the incredible upright bass player, Zoe Guigueno.  I made the fabric/felt/appliqué/embroidery thread sign, and my (yet another!) aunt Katrina Atkinson created the super fun album display & printed lino-carvings (of her artwork from the album) onto refurbished scarves.

Sketched this dude yesterday while farting around on Pelee Island with my friends Jeff n' Suz. He's more flattering up-close methinks, so give him a click on the kisser!

Been quite a while eh... Crungabung. Anyhow, here's some recent poster work I did for an old-timey-goth-halloween-folk music show that's happening at the end of the month, called "ANTIQUES FREAKSHOW". October 28th at the ol' Fish Market in Windsor, Ontario if you're interested. I'll be playin' a few songs on my accordion there. Whee
