The Story of Bekky Strazlekky - by Ben

This was sent to me by the ever so dashing and understated-ly whimsical Ben.

When I asked Ben if I could put this on Saint Damascus, he sent me this dog. 

The Big Update Part 2: The Cartoons

In true Saint Damascus form, here are some weird or funny cartoons:

It's daylight savings!

Sometimes everything just feels very big and I feel very little.

Daily Doubts

I'm not entirely sure what's happening here.

This is annoying because I have absolutely no need for an ipad at all. There is no reason for me to want an ipad expect that they are shiny & I do what I want. That is so crappy. Sometimes I think "I should give away all of my things and run into the forest forever so I can avoid all of these privileges I did nothing to deserve".


Pffft That's never gonna happen.

(Hey, the dinosaur cartoon & beautifully illustrated cartoon at the end of this post are by other artists! Not me!... I wish they were by me)

Comic by Lonely Dinosaur T-shirt company

One of the most emotive, striking, truthfully sad series of illustrated images I've ever seen about a big heavy all encompassing feeling most of us know too well.

By Sylvie Reuter.

That familiar feeling.

Depressed?

It's Sunday, let's talk.

First of all: Happy birthday to this fine specimen, The wild Kri Kri, commonly known as "Kristina". Scientific name: Karlina

It makes me feel things, I think it's very good.

If you feel things and think it's good also, you are able to buy this from Erin's Etsy shop.

I will be working with the creative genius Kai Smythe on a sweet photo/illustrato combo this week. Can't wait to give this to your eyeballs so that they may see it.

Have you ever wondered "Why Saint Damascus, what does that even MEAN?"

Well, allow me to introduce you to Damascus.

On the topic of kitty cats, here's one that I am needing more of in my life:

It's everybody's favourite sushi-feind Courtenay!

 And here is a quick scribble for your troubles:

ARTIST FEATURE: ERIN MICHELLE

Hello, let's all take a moment to appreciate the amazing talent of a dear friend of mine shall we?

Erin Michelle Art

Erin and I seem to sometimes share the same struggles*.

The most common one being DOING ART. JUST ...DOING IT! 

It's so easy to get/disheartened/lazy/over it, so it's great to see Erin creating some beautiful pieces again.

For my 19th Birthday I was super excited to receive this Erin Michelle Original on a paint colour sample. I absolutely love it!

Erin & I on my 21st Birthday.
SUPER FUN FACT:Erin & I share the same birthday!

Also, this one time, Erin modeled for me!
(Side note: If you haven't seen my photography yet that I'm a little shocked, please click here immediately!)

I have many more posts coming throughout the week, hopefully a couple more artist features also!

*say this 10 times real fast.
