New True Loves 3 is up! I finished drawing page 100 the other day. Slowly inching towards the finish line. I have a paper by my drawing area to mark off each page as I finish.

And meanwhile Farm School is getting in people’s hands, which is exciting. But I haven’t actually held the final object myself! Well I hope you all enjoy it. If you don’t have it yet, why not buy it?

Here are some drawings I did on the weekend. Random stuff off the internet.

I was listening to Iggy Pop’s “The Idiot” and got thinking about Berlin. Through the magic of Google Street View, I went and wandered around there a bit. Did this quick sketch.

A drawing I did as I hung out with Josue on the weekend. I have forest matters on my brain.

I was talking to Manien about how tricky drawing moss is. She went like this.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Every year I think I should do some kind of True Loves Valentine’s contest or something, and every year I just manage to get my act together for Manien’s birthday the week before, and suddenly Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Anyways, here is a highly romantic installment of True Loves 3. In other TL3 news, Manien and I did some writing on Monday, and got up to page 109 of 120ish. The end is near!

Manien and I have traditionally not done anything much for Valentine’s Day. Maybe use it as an excuse to buy some champagne, like this year. As I was heard to say earlier “IN MY HOUSE WE DROP LOVE EVERY SINGLE DAY!!” Also, we just last month celebrated 16 danged years together.

I’m having a surprising amount of trouble finding some love songs to post. My heart on fire.

Oh hey, how about a bit of the Blues Brothers? Watching this movie recently, I wondered how much influence their dancing had on my dance stylings when they eventually emerged.

Manien’s suggestion.

And why not some Nick Cave?

There is a new True Loves 3 up. There is talk of spinach and I somehow didn’t make a Popeye joke! How did I let that happen?

Did you know I do a column for Broken Pencil magazine? It is a column about comics in comic form called Jason and the Comics. Here is an excerpt from the latest column.

Here is a song that made me very happy last weekend. I like the song better than the video, actually.

It snuck up on me, but luckily the internet reminded me about Hourly Comic Day. Always adds some fun to an otherwise unremarkable day. Or are they all remarkable?

New True Loves 3. We are now in an unusual state where I have drawn well ahead of where the online comic is at. I am really trying to motor on this. For a moment when I checked the post this morning I was confused as to whether that was the right comic up or not. Wait have coming events happened yet?

My comic Farm School from Retrofit is still up for pre-order. I was thinking how this band A Silver Mount Zion was somehow integral to the initial mood that informed the story.

Here is a drawing my cousin found in an old scrapbook. I did it around 1981 when I was deep in my obsession with the Robert Altman Popeye movie. Then I did a quick drawing to see if I remembered how to draw Olive Oyl.

Last weekend in the night someone took the caps off two drains beside our house. Manien and I pondered why someone would do this. I had my suspicions…

As Farm School is about to be released, and I close in on the end of True Loves 3, I try not to get ahead of myself, but I do start thinking about other stories I want to get to eventually.

Whoops, I forgot to put an update last week! Go read two new installments of True Loves 3 in one! Manien and I did some writing last week and we’re getting ever closer to the end! The end of the trilogy!

In other exciting comic news, my book from Retrofit Comics is now available for pre-order. It is a pastoral post-apocalyptic walking story. Here is the cover and a few images.

And because I feel like an update isn’t complete without a video, here is some Django Django, who I have been enjoying.

Hey look at that, a new True Loves 3 up, at long last. I am really going to push to get get this book done.

It was a beautiful sunny day in Vancouver today, but my mood was shakey. This song came on in my headphones on the way up the hill and it was about right. Hey Guy Maddin directed it!

Here is another of those drawings I of Mega-j with the Tiny Astronaut.

Where has the time gone? I was so busy through December, visiting Ontario, getting my comic Farm School together for Retrofit Comics, and then you know, holiday loafing.

I was feeling all jazzed to do a Best of 2012 list of music for a while there, but I sort of realized it would just be collecting videos I have posted here over the year. And I suspect most of the things I’ve been enjoying this year are not from this year! So I lost enthusiasm.

My next big project is getting back on a little thing called TRUE LOVES 3! Meanwhile, here are some drawings and things.

A drawing I did, on my flight to Ontario, of my one time adbusters boss Kalle Lasn from an article in the Walrus.

Here are some comics I did about my trip. I have a whole other section I would like to add, but I’m not sure when I’ll have the time.

I have been drawing. Been having a birthday and celebrating. This is from Farm School, which will be out in January.

On my birthday last week, Manien made duck with thyme, which became Time Duck.

While Manien made the Time Duck, I drew this

On the weekend I was mostly drawing. But Friday night at a certain point I felt more like dancing.

I have continued to poke away at the Twin Peaks pilot. Here is the principal making an announcent. Also Brian drew him.

Speaking of tumblr, I really liked this comic by MARÉ ODOMO about being a kid in the 90s.

And a couple more Mega-j and the Tiny Astronaut drawings.
