Steve's Wedding stuff
Congratulations to my lil' brother and new lil' sister-in-law! They kindly asked me to design their wedding invites, and were even brave enough to let me do the lettering!
The RSVP card:
The inevitable powerpoint of baby bottoms and goofy school photos was a wedding highlight, and I was asked to whip up some title screens for the slideshow segments.
Thanks to the happy couple and we all wish them all the best!

Diggin' Draplin
I'm walking around grinning like a doofus these days sporting some pretty sweet duds from the inimitable Draplin Design Co...and fired of a little sketch to show my appreciation. This appreciation was returned with a lovely little write-up on their blog...so a quick "Hello" to all you Draplin link-following folk...Thanks for stopping by!

Curse-d Cookies
Boy, and I thought the bakery in Sackville (mmm...ginger snaps) was all I had to worry about!
Thanks to Michele & Dan, I now have to worry about over-consumption of "Mrs. Dunster's Wholewheat Donut Holes" which are apparently exclusive to the maritimes as well.
Doesn't everything sound better with "wholewheat" in front of it?
"Why yes, I'd love another piece of that wholewheat chocoate cheesecake*!" See?
*--please note, there is no such thing as wholewheat chocolate cheesecake...

A quick IF today, then off to walk the puppy...
This was actually drawn on a yellow notepad, but I faked it on the computer for a cleaner finished product...what can i say?

Draw Yourself as a Teen
You knew I'd have to get in on this...in internet time, its probably not even cool to draw yourself as a teen anymore...an appropriate time for me to jump in I guess.
The meme seems to be dwelling here: http://davario.livejournal.com/30861.html

IF: Seed
Took a break from a caricature to whip up this wee little seed for Illustration Friday. Felt a little ominous (might be the Gary Panter interview I'm listening too...who knows) so I tried to cheer it up with colours.

May 3 is Free Comic Book Day!
I will be at Gamezilla in Moncton for Free Comic Book Day. Come on down and say "Hi!" and make some comics, do some sketches...might even be making some Artist Trading Cards (Moncton really needs to get on board with those!).
See you there!

You know spring is ready to get sprung when you are walking the pup-dog along the shore of the lake and the huge, thick plates of ice begin shifting, overlapping and cracking in half. What a sound! Like a deep thunder with a bright sharp splitting sound...
My ke-rack is no Don Martin onomatopoeia, but does the trick...speaking of onomatopoeia, had visit to Ape-lad's latest project yet?

Spring Thaw
Hey everyone, Yes! I am still around...drawing and trying to stay warm! Why did I organize my studio space so far from the woodstove?
There are a few projects on the go right now, at various stages of development...a big project that is in its early sketch stages is an exciting research experience (thank goodness for google books) as well as an intruiging fusion of my education and cartooning backgrounds.
Here is a little peek at some of that project's upcoming imagery:
I am really enjoying getting to meet all of the cartooning and art stars in our new home city...and have been welcomed into the community enthusiastically.
A nearby rural school (home to Scott Tingley of Comics in the Classroom fame) has seemingly adopted me (!) as one of their own...and we had a wonderful time working together and I look forward to further workshops and opportunities to collaborate with all these great kids.

One of the workshops involved working with the Grade 3s on their logo for a website full of their comics, writing and other literacy projects...eventually we all agreed on some ideas for the lettering and I produced a banner for the website based on all of the wonderfully quirky ideas:

For Teri, by request!
Won't be able to get to colouring this in the next few days, so we will have to enjoy it in its monochromatic splendor.
Thanks to all the Illustration Friday folks that have stopped by to say hello!

Frye Festival Lecture
Was fortunate enough to hear about a lecture being given by Philip André Collette here in Moncton on Frye's Educated Imagination. André is a friend of ours, and it was great to see his presentation....he's a very dynamic and empassioned speaker,

Mon Qui Towne is online!
I've finally found a home for the comic strip I started this year...its still in its infant stages, but here we go! Each strip is based either wholly or in part on conversations had/overheard and people I've met here in our new home in Moncton, NB. The conversations usually end up with a hearty "How d'ya like THAT, Alberta-boy??", but I haven't found it necessary to include that...
Here's the link...
If you think your home paper, alt-weekly, etc would be a happy home for Mon Qui Towne, please contact me @ info@ericdyck.com
Thanks to Scott & BOOM magazine for giving me an excuse to get started...

I think they're calling it Craft & Draught now...
The following sketches were done at the Laundromat's knit/sew/craft & DJ night. Teri joined in to knit up a storm, and I was a) glad that I wasn't the only dude there and b) took the opportunity to sketch 20+ people sitting around not moving much!
Met lots of great Moncton folk too...they were very welcoming and had lots of wonderful stories to tell over their knittin' & purlin' (note to self: not moving to rural Labrador any time soon). Discussions soon turned to Guerrilla Knitting a la Suzen Green, so we'll keep our eyes open for illicit woolen coverings.
