Episode 1: The Cheese and Onions With Broadbeans Magic Podcast


It's-a me! Your favorite goat-loving silly-nilly radio host!

 I always wanted my own radio show so I decided to just make one. I used to make paper zines but now I'm going to try a sound zine... so these are a few  I  a few silly things I made up over the last couple of years.

In this inaugural episode, Uncle Volodya reads from a list of his favorite kid jokes, a Trinidadian man gets lost in New York City, donut sadness, stand-up comedy in Manitoba and the cutest song ever sung.

Enjoy (and subscribe to this blog if you do... there'll be more to come!)

Listen over heeeeere...

P.S Also, don't worry or get your undies in a twist if it takes a little while to load, it's a half-hour long show and I have to yet to figure out how to compress files and all that other mind-boggling stuff.

Stroll Down Main Street

Here's a series of drawings I did a little while ago of an imaginary place called Friendlytown. The idea was to make a travel brochure of sorts, showing you the daily life of some of the inhabitants and some of the main attractions. Friendlytown isn't the most thrilling place, but it certainly is pleasant.

It never got very far but I still like the idea of inventing your own town and populating it with your own characters (maybe I have a future career as a soap opera screenwriter).

Here are the intial sketches.











The guy at the poetry slam is supposed to look like Art Garfunkel, as I had a bit of a Garfunkel obsession at the time I was drawing these.

Oh Artie! (swoon)
