My face is BURN
I don’t know who drew this, or where it came from, but it is obviously a drawing of a very unhappy man who’s face is on FIRE. Maybe not even a man, but they definitely have flames all over their face which I can only imagine under normal circumstances would be very UNCOMFORTABLE. It may even explain the person’s dour disposition.
Their right eye seems sorrowful, while their left eye seems disapproving, and their mouth just says “I do not enjoy existence.”
If I were to meet this person in real life I might suggest they find themselves either a cup of water or maybe a bag of flour. I heard somewhere that if you are in a kitchen and you have a grease fire, you should throw flour on it to put it out. Maybe this person’s face is really greasy, I don’t know.
And then again, there is almost something about their face that says, “I am so miserable, even if I DIDN’T have burning fire all over my face I would STILL be unhappy.” In which case I could only shake my head in pity for their tortured soul.
Maybe if they had some hair it would make them feel better.

Cat Foot
I made a cat box out of scrap cardboard and threw a towel in it so my cat can lay down in it.
I keep the box close to my table so that way, when I’m reading, or drawing, or eating food, I can stick my foot in the box and stroke my cat’s belly with my toes. She loves it and it helps her sleep, otherwise she would meow a lot.
It feels all warm and fuzzy, kind of like dipping my toes into a warm bathtub, except it’s just one foot and the water is made of fur.

WILLIAM BUZZELL
IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN LONDON (Ontario) THIS FRIDAY:
Community Outreach is pleased to present for its October Exhibition new works by Philadelphia based artist William Buzzell. This exhibit will feature new work by the artist and will be his first solo exhibition in Canada.
The work of William Buzzell is very diverse in subject matter. Topics such as donating blood, dog racing and syndicated television shows are treated with a playful curiosity but also a more serious underlying tone which harkens on the darker issues involved in each subject. Working almost entirely with found materials, Buzzell

Friends Don’t Let Friends Print Alone
Next week the collaborative print show, Pumping Killmud Down the Drill Pipe will open in the galleries, featuring several different makes and models of print collaboration with projects by local and national artists.
Cannonball Press and Howling Print Studios are brewing up a highly caffeinated, giant relief print mash up, served strong and black, of course.
And in the opposite corner, facing off against the stark black world of Cannonball and Howling Print will be a dynamic collaborative print. Lucky gallery visitors will be treated to impromptu ink slinging sessions in October by Hasiuk using screenprint printing and his forearms of steel.
Next, a Broadside Battle will be raging on the big wall in the gallery!
And, Drive By Press will be cranking out the prints, in the gutter outside Space 1026 on Friday night, and Saturday, too. Drive By Press is a traveling print shop housed in the back of a pickup truck based in Wisconsin.
Don’t miss the action!

GET READY, IT’S ABOUT TO GO DOWN!
The following is information i recieved from a trusted source of mine who does thorough research on these types of events. please read and prepare. “The US has drawn up invasion plans for Iran, which has the world’s 2nd biggest oil reserves. Now we need a pretext incident to trigger the war: a “terrorist attack” on home soil. This will probably be a 10k dirty bomb somewhere out west, like Portland. Massive attack simulation excercises are scheduled for mid-October in that city. On 9/11 and the London 7/7 bombings, similar excercises were
