Ahoy hoy!!

I'm Alex, a Canadian illustrator on the Prairies.
I do a lot of landscapes, cartoons, comics, and murals, and I sell prints and stickers and stuff! I love colours and shapes! You can't beat em!

power lines going down a back lane, silhouetted against a pink and purple twilight sky. the trees and houses along the lane are all cast in blue shadow. the colours are laid out in a way that suggests the bi flag. very bisexual lighting. a street lamp glows, and some birds flying in the distance. retro risograph-style purple and gold digital illustration of ingredients to make mushroom soup. mushrooms, knifes chopping onions and garlic, broth, lemon juice, etc. an warm illustration of bald hill at riding mountain national park in manitoba, canada. a cliff juts out into a sea of orange, yellow, red, and green trees. in the foreground is a single rocky platform with a mama bear and her cub. Digital gouache painting of Sam reich from game changer on dropout standing at his little rainbow podium but make it a little golden book. “I’ve been here the whole time…”

You like dumb cartoon animals and comics? BOY HOWDY have I got the guy for you (me)
cartoon illustrations of some very round birds. a suspicious red-breasted nuthatch a sweet little snow bunting a shellshocked redpoll a smug blue jay a grumpy cardinal a dark-eyed junco who i imagine is thinking “u WOT m8??” Some stickers I sell in my shop, including a canada goose with abs and nipples, a little seagull yelling "skill issue", a tabby cat looking at you like it knows *something*, wet ham, a beaver with a 5 o'clock shadow smoking and drinking a beer, and a fat pigeon eating a giant hot dog 8 panel comic of Mariner and Boimler from Lower Decks brushing their teeth 1. M: yap yap yap B: hold that thought i don’t wanna lose count 2. M: what… what do you mean LOSE COUNT 3. B: (counting) 9.. 10… (toothbrush buzzes) 4. M: oh my god BOIMS??! are you *methodically subdividing* B: of course! each tooth in each quadrant gets exactly the same attention 5. B: how do YOU do it? M: VIBES??! like a NORMAL person? B: Like a harbinger of CHAOS maybe!! 6. M: whoa whoa okay so like. break this down for me. how many seconds where? i need to make sure my gentle mocking is accurate B: um, okay.. so.. Each section gets ten seconds so obviously just having the brush static on each tooth doesn’t quite work 7. M: (mocking) OBVIOUSLY B: So I time out a 3 tooth area to brush gently back and forth for the second then move down one tooth and start again 8. M: (laughing) a 3-tooth system!! i’m CRYING B: is a GOOD SYST- DAMMIT. (bzzt) I lost count. one panel cartoon: a tired (but still hot) mom finishing up packing a small child's lunch kit. she is holding a small tupperware container. caption: And finally, the sacrificial carrot sticks, for *optics*

OK THANKS LOVE U BYE
drone photo of graham ave. in winnipeg next to Canada Life Centre: a skateboard-shaped ground mural with a design of overlapping concentric circles in bright colours, surrounded by various whimsical and bouncy shapes painted on the rest of the road. photo by cool streets winnipeg a ground mural in a little community square area with a built-in concrete stage and wide steps leading up. it is painted to look as though there is rainbow paint spilling down in layers into the plaza area. A selfie wall mural at Rumor's Comedy Club in Winnipeg. It of is a bright and colourful stylized brick wall behind a microphone in its stand under a sharp circular spotlight. Neon signs of the name and the logo are in the upper corners. a big ground mural on the university of winnipeg campus. a bunch of large circles make up three big red flowers with small black circles in their centres, with a whole lot of smaller blue, yellow and white circles ornamenting them. black and green vines and leaves thread through them, with little circles and lines in white, yellow, blue, and purple sprinkled around them. the letters UW in red are nestled in the vines at either end of the mural. the design is inspired by métis beadwork. photo by cool streets winnipeg

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:

Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now

Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.
tobey(peter parker) from spidersman looking at the edit image button but then puts on glasses to see the text actually says fuck artists. Though technically it should be the other way around because spidersman can see better without glasses now if youve seen the movie you'd know that. Also sam raimi ripped off his spidersman movie idea from james cameron, justice for big jim

Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be.

Check out the cover and full synopsis in the link, check the hashtag for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?

so grateful for the time i got to go out and try hot pot with friends for the first time a few years ago because we do it for xmas eve every year now, and it is literally the easiest and a relatively inexpensive way to host a large holiday meal for a group of people. your guests cook their OWN food!

just saw a video asking “i wonder if the people who are like ‘good art is good art regardless of how it got made’ (ie ai) would also enjoy watching ai-generated sports/games/matches” and i can’t stop laughing. it’s such a great parallel that they’ll never accept.

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

(alternatively, if the meaningful message doesn’t matter, just take a sharpie to a letter and send it in the mail) #comic
2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante 1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD. [drawing] message that reads: hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3 2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of "not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers! [drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read: “hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”

It's time for the yearly x-mas fiction, my gift to you. This year is a sequel to last year's (though you can read it by itself) about a group of goblins that just want to bring their friends joy. And so I give you: The Goblin Toymakers, Too. Enjoy!
The Goblin Toymakers, Too
(A quick intro bit. First this is way longer than the normal x-mas story but it needed to be. Second this is a sequel. You don’t need to read the first but if you want to you can go read the …

2. dammit i did it again i got attracted to a weird character with an extremely rigid set of internal values (honourable but detrimental)
3. oh god he’s matt it’s matt in plurb world
