Joining the Soleil

Cirque Du Soleil is my favorite Canadian export. With 15 shows around the world, 1000 artists, 5000+ employees, over 90 million spectators in 200 cities and with 50 nationalities making up the company the Montreal-based circus of magic has a lot going for it. This weekend at the Academy Awards they even had their bit on going to the movies.

Down in front. I can't see the fire-breather.

Straight from the photo album are this weeks shots from across Canada. Enjoy!

This week's theme: graffiti and wall murals.

Montreal, Quebec

Pick of the Week 22/2/2012

Call this week for what it is: Halloween in February. You'll see why.

Playing catch-up, it's a combo-week of superhero, sci-fi, and horror.

Making Comic Decor

I won't ever buy a piece of original comic art. It's not because I'm not interested, I just can't fit it into my budget (and am resigned to the fact that I never will). Still, I love art and I love to display it proudly, sharing books, laying them all over the place -- okay that last one is a messiness thing. Some people have made a life out of collecting comic art and while I'm not part of this "collector" demographic, I still respect comics as an art form.

I also hate empty walls.

Comics. You're doing it right.

A New Neverland

Wednesdays are typically busy, and I'm thankful for that.

First, I would like to thank Kurtis Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins for making the time to visit Alpha Comics in Calgary last night for their signing of their new comic Peter Panzerfaust. The event was marked by relentless sales (lines are always a good sign), good company, and lots of laughs.

Shut up and take my money!
