Well, David Hull standing in for Vella was the next best thing… Plus Josh Groban dropped by to honor Adam Schlesinger.
If you have no clue what this is about, check out Crazy Ex-Girlfriend somgs on YouTube. The series was pulled from Netflix unfortunately (they do have Rachel Bloom’s comedy show).

Crossing my fingers for a Vella Lovell surprise appearance.
Photo of the Wiltern in LA, a theatre. We see the traditional looking lighted facade in red and blue, and the (changeable) text on the board says ‘Rachel Bloom - sold out’

Saw Taylor Tomlinson yesterday during her ‘Save Me’ tour. Smart, funny and original, focusing on religious upbringing and other family issues. Highly recommend to see live (not just on Netflix). Opening act Dustin Nickerson was lovely, too.
A photo of the stage of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver before the show. We see an image of Taylor Tomlinson on a screen with a qr code for future dates. There is a mic and stool with bottle of water on stage. The curtains have a purple light hue. Front rows are packed with people.

Sometimes, Vancouver is just beautiful.

Feeling like a proper Canadian (BC) artist after being interviewed by CBC Radio NXNW!

We had an owl in the garden that was thoroughly investigated by Animal Crossing’s resident owl Blathers as well.
A photo of a barred owl on a fence. In front out of focus there’s a Lego version of Blathers with a loupe. Same photo as before but now Blathers ison focus.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.
A cover of Firestarter by Stephen King. It’s the 1984 film tie in edition with a very toung Drew Barrymore on the cover and a blaze of fire behind her.

Very proud that VR experience Trailblazer, for which I did some writing and narrative design, has been selected for Cannes. Congrats to the team at Singer Studios! Trailblazer, which is about Bertha Benz’ unique first car trip, will be available commercially soon on Quest as well.
A poster for the VR game Trailblazer that shows a drawing of two roads in a rural environment and a wooden signpost in the middle. The colours are subsues and the logo of the Cannes filmfestival is printed over it in the middle.

Switched around some of my comics on the wall of my workspace for new inspiration. Featuring the work of some of my favoriete women in comics; Jen Bartel, Jenny Frison, Nicola Scott, Kelly Thompson and Kelly Sue DeConnick. Plus bonus Magic Cards by Jen Bartel.
A wall that shows six framed comics with beautiful cover art. All covers show women. Titles are Something is Killing the Children (2x), She-Hulk, Jem, Blackbird and Wonder Woman. On the left there are also four foil Magic cards framed.

Happy I got to catch the Keith Haring exhibit at MoPop before closing. His ideas on how art should be in as many places as possible really resonate, especially now.
Poster for the Keith Haring exhibit at MoPop, Seattle. The poster is black and white with mainly text but the addition of a Haring drawing of a man standing with his legs and arms wide.

I’m a bit behind on my comic reading, but looking forward to catching up with these.

Here’s some titles I recently read and highly recommend if you like sci-fi/mystery/dystopian stories. Other works by the same writers/artists also warmly recommended!
A photo of three comic trade paperbacks; Not All Robots, Friday and Alienated. All three have stark contracting monochrome colours and feature characters on the cover in various states of fear.

My new Carrie 4K blu-ray arrived today. It includes a load of extras and I love the new artwork by Laz Marquez. Got it via Rough Cut Video - highly recommended if you’re in Canada looking for cult cinema and special editions.

Love it when a game casually acknowledges another game. This, by the way, is Spilled Mushrooms on the Playdate. Smart little puzzler that kept me playing for hours.
Image of the Playdate game console with on its screen a card with a goose on it and a description of the goose that embtions he is less annoying than a particular cousin of his.

Love this cover.

Still thankful for visiting the exquisite Interview With the Vampire activation at SDCC last year. I’d not seen the show yet back then and the quality of the immersive experience put it much higher on my watchlist. Now it’s one of my favourite current series and the SDCC poster is up on our wall!
Poster framed on a wall with a drawing of Louis and Armand from Interview With the Vanpire and French text l’amour est un monstre, all in a red hue.

I’m grateful and shocked that my little thing at Vancouver Fringe is close to sold out, before the run has even started! This show is all about sharing personal stories and connecting, so I can’t wait to see our ‘mailbox of solace’ (a crucial part of the show) expand over the next 2 weeks.
