Hey hey kids!
It is so hard to believe that Summer is already half way over. Kind of sad actually.. but it's been great so far! Lots of art, going to the gym and relaxing. For example this past Friday and Saturday I was away. Stayed over at a friends house on friday night and then Saturday OTAKON. It is located in Baltimore and the biggest anime con on the East Coast. I had a blast! Here is a link to the photo's on my facebook LINK I got to meet up with my friend Paul. He showed me around the artists alley and introduced me to different artists. Next year we will be doing an calligraphy booth together. ^^

This week I am goign to finish a bird house that I've been working on, i got a cool idea for a new type of bookmark and finally work on my personal art website!

Well.. that's all for today! Have a great week ^^

Hello everyone!
Been a busy/exciting summer so far. Still been working on the online comic, preparing for the "20 Nations, 20 Artists, 20 Works" international art exhibition, getting my personal art website back up and running, building muscle at the gym, and generally having a great summer ^^ Here is the link for the art Exhibition by the way!

This past Sunday I saw the final Torchwood episode :( I mean yes it was really cool and all, but it's over. That makes me sad.. I love the Doctor Who and Torchwood series. Here is an youtube.com video showing some of the show...

Of course it's not just gay stuff. It's a little more serious than the doctor who series.

Ok, so I will be going to Otakon in Baltimore this Saturday! I'm so stooked. I'll be able to indulge my geekyness and meet a friend off of aim. He's the one that helps me with my calligraphy. I'm very much looking forward to it!

Ummmn well not too much more! I'll be updating next week!!

Canada Day... 4th of July... and relatives... :D

* Mood: Happy yet a little sad
* Listening to: My sweet lord - George Harrison
* Watching: Top Gear?
* Playing: music
* Eating:
* Drinking: Green Tea

So... I will start where I last left off. Anne and Colin's wedding was wonderful! The service was done in am 100+ year old Catholic Church. Absolutely gorgeous. After the service we all went over to an hall where the reception was held. Jon was Colin's best man. He did a wonderful toast to the new couple. The spread for the dinner was well done and then there was an open bar for most of the night. Most people have never seen me really dressed up before. Here is a picture of me and the best man.


Following that wonderful night Adam's cousin (Sarah) and her friend (Louise) came to visit the family for a week. Adam has limited numbers of first relatives so I was very excited! For the next week we went out for dinner, went sight seeing, went shopping in Squirrel Hill, did BBQ and had an early afternoon dinner. I found that we have a lot in common. Canada and the UK are very similar in politics, health care, point of view etc.... One thing I found very interesting was the fact that Sarah, Louise, and myself have a very positive attitude towards things. No bitching or complaining about things out of our control. I feel like I an not alone in this Stouffer/Sill family anymore. I am really going to miss them :'( Hopefully I can keep in contact with them. I would really like to visit England and visit with adam's other relatives. Tomorrow morning they are leaving to spend 4 days in Toronto! I hope they have a great time!!


It was a very exciting week. Very exciting indeed! Now I have to re-adjust to regular again. I think I got too used to the positive effect of Sarah and Louise being here..... sigh :(
This week I of course have my training sessions with Jamie and cleaning. I plan on organizing and doing some art work (bookmarks or something of that nature.. maybe even some thank you cards)(I gave bookmarks to the two girls as gifts)), doing more artwork for the comic, working on my art website... hrmm.. not too sure what else yet.

One final note! Happy Canada Day!



And 4th of July *
