art – Lethbian Love

Q&A with Eric Dyck

May 9, 2019January 25, 2019 by Jonny

Over the years, I’ve seen the artwork of illustrator Eric Dyck spread itself around Lethbridge more fierce than the 2017 coulee fire. His style of art and humour is well-known in Lethbridge, and I wanted to introduce Eric to those who haven’t yet heard of Slaughterhouse Slough. Let’s get to know Eric.

Art is the proper task of life

March 22, 2010 by Jonny

So, I have ridiculously talented and good-looking friends who are art geeks. Julia M. is one of those, and she’s got some of her work up in the University of Lethbridge’s art gallery as part of a student exhibition. The Annual Curated Student Exhibition provides a showcase of excellent work by Art Studio majors in …

Featured Artist: Martin Warszawski

January 26, 2010 by Jonny

I’ve recently been asked, “What aspect of Lethbridge stands out for you the most?” And, besides the stupid ridiculous amount of trucks that plague this city, I would have to say it’s the amount of talented people I have met along the way (Lethbridge is also full of them).

In particular, I am proud to feature an amazing artist, and one of my best friends, Martin Warszawski. Since back in the day, he and I were creative influences upon one another, drawing comics, recording puppet shows and a Shakespeare video assignment featuring a dead gopher (we found it like that).

Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School coming to Lethbridge

January 24, 2010 by Jonny

When I am not drawing pictures of the girl I am staking my sweetheart, I’m usually not drawing pictures altogether, and probably playing World of Warcraft. But I just came across something that seems very cool – and a Lethbridge first. I was unaware of the Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School until I saw this random …

Team Jetpack 104 rockets off

November 25, 2009 by Jonny

Recently, I had the opportunity to contribute a guest strip for Zac Erickson‘s web comic, Team Jetpack 104. I thought it’d be cool to interview Zac and let Lethbridge in on his work. And since we’re both geeks, we did it using Google Wave (verdict: cool).

Interview is after the jump. Enjoy!

Check out my guest strip for Team Jetpack 104!

January 27, 2010November 17, 2009 by Jonny

Zac Erickson, who’s from Raymond (I’ll forgive him), is the creator of a web comic called Team Jetpack 104. Now I’ve never met him in real life, but follow him on Twitter alongside a few other Lethbridge peeps. He’s been striving to improve his art skills and it inspired me to make a strip for …

More free movies, courtesy the U of L Film Club

March 3, 2009 by Jonny

If you’re looking for a movie to broaden your horizons, I don’t suggest Battlefied Earth (unless you’re a Scientologist). Rather, look to The University of Lethbridge Film Club. The club screens everything from animation to documentaries twice weekly: Sundays – faculty select the film. Screenings are at 6PM in PE275. Mondays – the Film Club …

Local graffiti

February 19, 2009February 19, 2009 by Jonny

While on the topic, I thought I’d take the opportunity to showcase this Flickr group highlighting some local graffiti art. One of my favourites: Also, make sure to check out the Facebook group, Lethbridge Graffiti Safe Walls: The goal of this group is to urge Lethbridge City council to provide “safe” areas in the city …

Artists lose only graffiti-friendly area

February 19, 2009February 19, 2009 by Jonny

Lethbridge graffiti artists can now look forward to (one day) requesting permits or risk paying $10,000 in fines after losing their only graffiti-safe area. Parks Operations Manager Kevin Jensen has convinced City Council to toughen its graffiti bylaw, banning local artists from practicing their craft at the city’s skatepark. “This whole thing about free walls …
