The Skelly Horse

Seen at this year's Calgary Stampede.

Flood

Calgary's downtown is currently underwater. It's kind of a mess.

Post-it note, watercolor, ink, acrylic, it looks like chocolate milk but don't you drink it

Springtime in Calgary

And I have a craving for Turkish Delight.

Art Knife, Angry Screaming Pumpkin

Seen today at Kensington Art Supply.

Give Blood, Play Hockey

I love a good urban caption. Unfortunately it's too small to read, but the red shirt over the skull guy's shoulder reads, "Give Blood, Play Hockey!"

Downtown Calgary

By the Light of the Golden Tiki

We went to a birthday party last night, and there we saw The Golden Tiki.

Oh Happy Day

Today I found Lillet in Calgary...just up the block at Kensington Wine Market. Perfect timing, as it is ferociously hot and only Lillet will do on a day like this.

Ostrich yard art by the wonderful Robert Hardgrave.

Texting on a horse

Today we went to Spruce Meadows. It's very, very British there, and along with perfectly manicured lawns, rich ladies on beautiful horses, tons of sculpture and flowers and Frank Sinatra blasting from loudspeakers, we got a reminder that in fact, we are still in Calgary.

I'd hit that!

The mating call of the over-confident. Or maybe it's something else entirely, I can't really figure out what's going on here. The puffy white globby guy, the German tourist sandals, the befuddled ginger with the provocative shirt...it all adds up to COMIC EXPO.

And here is more!

Smoking hot Batman

Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo 2012

 

I had a ticket to get in, but they massively oversold the venue and were turning a lot of people away. So I took a few pictures outside and went shopping instead. Maybe tomorrow...
