Had the pleasure of hanging out with the incredible Laura Bifano and eight other lovely artists in Strathcona Park, BC.

I also rode some bikes around Vancouver Island on my own and only ran smack into a bear once.

More 'please draw my bike as a horse' commissions from yesterday! Although a lot of bikes look similar in colours, it's always nice when people tell me about how they see their bike so I can pick out a breed and personality.

Horse breeds & backstories for these under the cut:

The first commissioner said they imagined their bike as stocky draft horse because the bike is built solid and super heavy and durable. I picked a Clydesdale:

Here's a Clydesdale draft horse! I went with a brown horse and brown bags with black tack, to match the style of the really strong and durable horses that pull carts. This one's in a more ceremonial get-up, similar to the drafts that pull parade floats and such. I hope you like him!

The second bike's owner said that the brake cables had been modified: "the bike brakes like sh*t and I always crash into others when they brake in front of me. It's a bit dangerous bike, but still love it". I went with a Thoroughbred.

Racehorse!! I think a bike with brake issues is very Thoroughbred coded. I gave them a bit of a mischievous expression and the hot pink accents on the bike for the saddle and leg wraps. I hope you enjoy!

They even drew my design afterward, which I think is so cute...

The last one is a tribute to a bike that the owner no longer owns since they got a car. I wanted something springy and elegant:

The Kent Northwoods Springdale feels like a very classic, elegant sort of bike, so I went with an American Saddlebred. These horses have a really distinct, really high head + neck carriage. They've got five different paces, including a special type of pace called the 'rack', and they're shown both saddle-seat and in halters around the ring! It felt like the right vibe. This one has a simple halter and a show cinch on. I hope you're happy with it!

Molly Templeton’s review of The Fall, my beloved

[unionjackpillow]

The alien fleet appeared suddenly and entered Earth's orbit. A message was broadcast, in thousands of languages

"Greetings! We are the Interstellar Mobile Library. We have 4096 ships, please suggest landing sites for all."

"Yes, of course it is free, and for all people."

"Why? We are a library."

““Good evening ladies and gentlemen. 1st officer Douglas Richardson here, just to let you know we’re making our final approach now into what I am fairly sure is Fitton airfield. Unless it’s a farm, or just possibly the A45, it’s not the sea because that’s blue. I should perhaps explain that Captain Crieff and I have a sportsman like little bet on today about who can fly the best after drinking a liter of vodka through a straw. Captain went first, you may have noticed the take-off was a little bumpy, particularly over the golf course, now it’s me to land. Just as soon as I decide which of these two runways to aim for and I’m happy to tell you that I feel lucky! So on behalf of all your crew today may I just say GERONIMO!””
