Deconstructing Fear
Venture Communications CEO Arlene Dickinson wakes up with a healthy dose of hope and a hint of fear. A leading Canadian business figure, Arlene uses fear as motivation. I have tremendous respect for this woman, at least, her public persona: Arlene leads with integrity and heart, actively supports charities, and seems like a genuinely decent human being. … Continue reading
If It Bends, It’s Funny! If It Breaks, It’s Not Funny.
“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” —Scott Adams How far can you push your boundaries, and how far is too far? I’m usually unapologetic when it comes to my craft. I’ll stretch a joke until it’s close to its breaking point, then I’ll release it. And if … Continue reading

Blogroll Inductee – Six Glasses of Water
The Great XMAS Blogroll Induction Extravaganza – Day 10. Art holds a distinctive place in my life: my father was an artist, and I am grateful that he was insistent on passing down his love of the Arts to us.

Bring David Dixon the Freshly Pressed Nod
Two weeks ago, Maggie from Someone Fat Happened wrote me this email: Le Clown, how do we get David Dixon Freshly Pressed? I didn’t have the answer.

Thank God It’s Flyday
Sometimes I look at Becca’s blog title, 25ToFly, and I start laughing. No, you guys, I’m not laughing at her. What I meant to say, is that Becca doesn’t know how much I relate to that wonderfully alphanumeric title of hers. She doesn’t even have the slightest idea that just a few years ago I … Continue reading

Drawing Flies (and Cats)
On Matt Posky’s best post yet, Like a Clown on Fire, SaraDraws write: “You draw better than the clown”. Give a big hand of applause to my wife, everyone. I take offence to her comment. I do everything better but Posky’s written funsies. To prove my point, I have freely adapted an exert of Posky’s … Continue reading
