Noah’s Archipelago: Favorite of the week ending April 30, 2023

I’m posting my favorite of the previous week’s Noah’s Archipelago comics each Saturday. This week Noah was working in his garden and Ursula was asking him about the bees (minus the birds), but also it was time for the long-awaited U2 Vegas residency tickets to go on sale and...

Spring clean-ups, bees, and blooms

Well, I spent all day out in the garden yesterday and got a sunburn… I really should know better by now… really, I should… Guess I’m cancelling this week’s IPL face-zapping. And while I’m whining, I think I have a cracked filling. Guess I know what phone calls I...

Noah’s Archipelago: Favorite of the week ending April 23, 2023

I’m posting my favorite of the previous week’s Noah’s Archipelago comics each Saturday. This week we had a bit of a game of telephone, wherein Ursula told her class a slightly exaggerated version of the postering events of last week and her teacher told Ruth and Ruth and Noah...

Whole lotta art stuff going on this week

Another week down. I was at a monotype workshop today, pics on that other post. Speaking of Ricky B., it was time to set up his very own Instagram, even if there’s not real followers yet: https://www.instagram.com/ricky_b_rat/ So, on that note, here’s the favorite Ricky sketch of the week:...

A few monotypes of Ricky B. Rat

So I took a monotype printmaking workshop today up in Ladysmith, same place I took the gelli printing workshop last month. (Explanation of monotypes here. We used Akua inks on plexiglas plates and used a press.) Last time I took a monotype workshop, it was at MISSA and I...

Noah’s Archipelago: Favorite of the week ending April 16, 2023

I’m posting my favorite of the previous week’s Noah’s Archipelago comics each Saturday. This week Ursula ran her mouth about Noah’s band activities not being work, and so Noah made her help him poster all over town for his next U2 tribute band gig, even though Ursula tells him...

Nick news, ratmobiles, fountains, and more

Hey, my neighbor’s finally back from wintering in Arizona. My dad and I were starting to worry. What else is new? The latest Nick White episode, for one thing. The subtitles aren’t properly done yet because I keep getting some weird “taking longer than usual” error message when I...

Noah’s Archipelago: Favorite of the week ending April 9, 2023

I’m posting my favorite of the previous week’s Noah’s Archipelago comics each Saturday. This week Noah’s been on a quest to get an “authentic” (read: custom made from Las Vegas) Elvis costume, and his eldest son Adam has a clever scheme to get the job done, whether his girlfriend...

Cards, sketches, and new Nick White (for real this time… soon…)

Another week gone by… let’s see here, I started back to clarinet lessons and apparently I haven’t completely forgot everything, just 75%… but hey, maybe that means I’ve forgotten some of my bad habits too. One can dream, right? Well, last week I mentioned my scheme to make handmade...

Noah’s Archipelago: Favorite of the week ending April 2, 2023

I’m posting my favorite of the previous week’s Noah’s Archipelago comics each Saturday. This week I picked the Thorsens’ tax prep as my favorite of the week … and Ursula is definitely not wrong but ya gotta pay ’em anyway… sigh…:...
