Excited for TCAF! It is this weekend! SO EXCITED

I'm going to have books, and the tesla print, and buttons, and some drawings! Observe:






This is a Canadian show that happens every 2 years and the only Canadian show I have ever been to, so finally I can draw pictures of Sir John A! So many pictures of Sir John A, but never enough





Remember this drawing? I didn't make it into a print, but I did get a few prints on nice paper. I am inking them all by hand like this! Poor Thomas, squashed at the bottom.

I'll keep drawing things until the weekend and put them up here I think!

I will send you an amount of money if you send me one of the prints on nice paper of Plantagenet disfunction. I do love the picture so.

I love the second Sir John A.! With his scowl and his slump and his hand in his fluffy hair! Clearly he is struggling with difficult problems like railways and Metis uprisings and the fact that there is not nearly enough booze! There is never, ever enough booze.

OMG TCAF. So many people I admire will be there, and that never goes well for a shy one such as I. D: If my experience two years ago is any indication, I will be the terrified girl attempting to mumble my praise to you! Will almost certainly also buy something, so that's all right. =D

You really need to do a drawing of Sir Wilfrid Laurier meeting Spock. Perhaps a staring contest.

That Plantagenet picture always makes me think of the 60s film version of The Lion In Winter. Love it.

Wish I could go to the show, but the 5 hour journey across Ontario is too much for me. :-) Hope it's fun and successful for you!

When I got a thin envelope in the mail today I was disappointed because I thought my Linguistics Fieldwork book would be hefty, but then I opened said envelope and found YOUR book inside and sat right down to read it, nevermind that I was supposed to be taking the garbage out. YOU SAVED THE DAY KATE BEATON!

Your drawings always delight my inner history nerd, but those MacDonald ones are particularly fantastic. I love that fourth one, he's all "Look at me, I'm the Prime Minister of DRUNKERLAND, bitches."

And yes, poor Thomas.

dear ms. katrina,
you are the best, young lady, just the BEST.

in tesla-related news:

which will only work if you are registered to the ny times, which you should be, so you can keep track of what we un-nice americans are up to.

If ever I were to put up a production of The Lion in Winter I would commission you for the poster art in a heartbeat.

I was just thinking about Sir John today, actually, and I agree that there are never enough pictures.

What I can't figure out, on this Cinco de Mayo, is why we never instituted "Sir John Day" as a Canadian's excuse to go out and get utterly hammered and to vomit copiously on our podiums during electoral debates and the like. I'm pretty sure St. Patrick wasn't deep in his cups originally, and this one wouldn't even require any perversion of the original story! (Maybe that takes the fun out of it?)

I got my book yesterday (Monday) - Huzzah! I can't actually say I finished it yesterday because my husband picked it up after dinner and I didn't get it back till this morning. :) He liked it to.

It is a great book - and better quality than I expected. Thanks!
