Me & my friend met the creator / #cartoonist of the longtime, #Canadian #ComicStrip - For Better or For Worse, at the Ladysmith Arts Council garage sale, in May. Lynn Johnston was one of the volunteers. She helped me to carry the items I bought at the arts councils garage sale, out to Jada's car. Really friendly lady & she was fab to chat with too.
First woman & first Canadian to win the National Cartoonist Society's Reuben Award.

For #MusicWomenWednesday this week, this great new EP by Canada project AEROPLANE JU. This is some strange, almost experimental lo-fi bedroom type stuff. There's guitars, shimmering, sparkling strangeness, and some odd, unique vocals- I just dig the hell out of it. Had to buy this one and her other new single - been playing both of them a lot.

Paintings by Canadian artist Alex Colville from the 1950s-1970s that look like PS2 graphics
Amazing one for #MusicWomenWednesday. Japanese-Canadian singer/songwriter Saya Gray put out her magical debut album 'Saya' last Friday. Folk, alt-pop + rock sensibilities, synthy electronica & heavier guitar sometimes too. Saya's voice and finger picking- wow. 🤯 Unique melodies and sounds. A contender.

Here's #NeilYoung for #CanadianArtists day with Powderfinger, a great story song about when some enemies invade your home. #Music
I really should play The Future by #LeonardCohen because, you know, the death of the U.S., but instead we'll do this Leonard cover of a Frederick Knight song, Be For Real. #CanadianArtists #Music #Canada
Here's my personal theme song, with #CrashTestDummies singing about Afternoons And Coffeespoons (and T.S.Eliot). #CanadianArtists #Music #Canada

@tc_morekindness Joni can do no wrong, especially that album. I've been spamming songs into the void this week (it's that, or lose my mind), but I'll think I'll join in with #CanadianArtists.

♫ If You Could Read My Mind ♫, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost, you can't see

Testing out the paper in this funny little watercolour sketchbook with a few splashes on the back page. The paper has a strange weave to it, and soaks up a ton of water. This is a view of Parc Lafontaine in the autumn.

Appreciating that the home heating bill will likely drop this winter because of this hat! Don't want to take it off, even indoors.
It was a gift from family this week, and it's super soft, warm, and so comfortable. And the craftsmanship — #indigenous made in #Canada, Skukum Designs by Carol Young — is supreme.
We see Carol has an Etsy shop, so imagine you can contact her there if you want to order such a hat, custom made. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Skukum?fbclid=IwAR2U3AC8ODtB2T8C2YHvVYOdXBfGTtYGx4XlrYFBFLO3pCSOQGFdFwzsxN8

Yuletide Joy to all!
This oil & graphite on canvas (1934) is by Canadian illustrator Rex Woods and is held by the Royal Ontario Museum.
In my home we've always observed the Twelve Days of Christmas which begin at Christmas and end on January 6th.
This illustration definitely has a traditional Twelfth Night feel to it - traditional secular 😃
