Another Rainy Night 2

Okay okay okay, I can remember that song now. You know, the one you were singing to me? I'm sure I completed this picture that same morning before heading back to the grind of the Subway for another 8 hours of occupancy and 2 hours of effort. One day I'm going to quit that job. I know I've been talking about it for a while, but really I think I'm working my way up to it. Don't worry, I'm working my way towards ending my complaints to you. But yeah, thanks again for the wonderful song. I'll see you soon.

Yours always,

Gord Cummings

Another Rainy Night

Don't look through that bag, man! It's your happy day. Here is a picture of you if you really need something to help tide you over until next we meet. Again, I miss you, but know that what you are seeing is all I have on short notice.

With love always,

Gord Cummings

Summer of Sundays. Part 1 of 10.

What starts with "Vicious" and rhymes with "Nishusambishusizbakkonthestreetswuntsagain"?

Thaaat's right! Vicious Ambitious is back on the streets once again --- and this time, literally.

Yes sirs, yes ma'ams, Your Most-Favouritest Group of Capgun-Shooting, Face-Pieing Cartoonists has just signed up to take part in this year's "Sunday Summer Arts Bazaar".
....What in golly is a "Sunday Summer Arts Bazaar", you ask? Well...basically, it's a cool, little art market that will be happening every Sunday this summer, all summer long, at the Calgary Olympic Plaza (228 8th Avenue S.E). All sorts of artists will be there every week, selling all sorts of products of all types of quality, and The Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts (the fine people who are hosting the event) has been gracious enough to grant Yours Truly, Vicious Ambitious, some space there to hock our own fine wares alongside 'em all.

So yep, you heard me right. Vicious Ambitious will be at the Olympic Plaza EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY this summer, from June 22nd to August 31st, Noon 'til 6:00pm, desperately trying to convince random passersby that our books are worth buying.
Seriously - it's almost like we have our own comic store now, just with totally slack business hours.

So if you're sitting at home next Sunday and you're bored outta your skull, or you've just gotten out of Church and you're completely depressed, hop on down to Olympic Plaza and we'll help brighten your day by taking some of your money.
See ya next Sunday!

AND NOW - for your eyes only - here are some pics from Day #1 of this Crazy Epic Summer-Long Olympic Plaza Artstravaganza. (Yeah...I know...I probably shoulda mentioned all of this to you guys before Day 1 actually started, heh heh, but don't worry - we've still got 9 more Sundays to go this summer, so that means you've still got 9 more chances to mix it up with Calgary's Finest. So no worries if ya missed the first day, friend. No worries.) Here we go!

1. Here's a pic of Nick, Gord and Anthony (Gord's son) getting our table ready. The Art Market was held indoors today, but apparently all the rest of the days will be held outside, in the actual Plaza.

2. And here's one of Nick fondling the air and Gord looking like he's enjoying it. I tried to only take pictures when Nick wasn't fondling things, but that's harder to do than you think.


3. Hey - who's that bearded redhead in the bottom-left corner? Because gosh, he's glorious.


4. And here's Anthony, Gord and Nick again. In alphabetical order.


And here's a doodle I did today at our table. Nick and Gord also drew some pictures, but I don't have 'em on me right now, so I can't post 'em. If you want to see Nick's pics, he'll probably post 'em on his blog some time ( http://nicksoup.blogspot.com ), and if you want to see Gord's pics, drop by Gord's house and ask to see 'em. Because Gord is a blogless Hutterite.


Arrivederci,
