There are 11 pictures left in the queue.

Thank all y'all for your patience as there was much outside of my control since Calgary Expo. I post updates almost daily on Facebook since it's the best way to keep in touch with folks!

Hey Liza, if you're out there, please contact me!

I have emailed you previously and texted as well--maybe messages are going into the void! I want you to have your picture of Mochi 🙂

You can contact me through FB, Instagram or calzephyr @ gmail.com. Thanks!

I updated my spreadsheet today and can't believe I've completed 36 portraits so far 🥰🥰🥰

Just an update on what else is keeping me busy--my dad had cataract surgery in June and is going for the other eye in July FYI!

All pictures get a spritz of fixative to help protect it from smudging.

Protect your picture by displaying out of direct sunlight and framing under museum glass :)

Update emails went out this morning with a progress update on each piece and a note about the Canada Post strike.

If you haven't heard from me at all--please get in touch in case your message went into the void.

Hi everyone, I'm keeping my eye on a potential Canada Post strike May 22.

I will be in touch to make alternate arrangements for portrait pick up or drop off if necessary.

Last month I saw a common loon in an uncommon place--a storm pond!

This common loon hung out for about a week--and thanks to my birding friends, I had a chance to see it on its layover :-)

Thank you for the wonderful Calgary Expo!

It was great seeing familiar faces, friends, and pets too! I'm sorry I missed all y'all in 2024. I rebooked for 2026!

The best place to see the commissions from the show is Instagram: instagram.com/calzephyr77/

Today is set up fro #calgaryexpo2025 and as usual, it's a lot of running around and panicking ;-D

But, don't YOU panic! Remember the Artist Alley is in the BMO Centre this year, NOT in the Big Four Building. Find me at table A476!

This year I'm bringing more paper colours to the Comic Expo as well as paper sizes. A neutral or light color will speed things along.

See me at table A476 in the Artist Alley! Remember the Artist Alley is NOT in the Big Four building this year.

I sold a whopping 39 pictures at the 2023 Calgary Expo!

To keep things moving quickly this year, I opened five $5 sketch slots on Etsy.

You don't need an Etsy account to purchase :-)

Order and pick-up at #calgaryexpo2025!

Jumping on the AI doll bandwagon...except mine isn't AI 😃

As tempting as it was, "homemade" doll packaging is so much more interesting and personalized! Online oldsters may remember the fun of online doll creators, and this brought back so many memories.

Last night I had fun canvassing with Tom Becker's team in Thorncliffe for Calgary Nose Hill. Tom is very interested in community service and had advice for my community projects. Definitely my kind of candidate!
