HMCS Thorlock
I drew this for K with ink and watercolour. It’s the HMCS Thorlock which is a flower class corvette her grandfather served on during WW2. It’s main role was to escort transatlantic convoys for the Allied forces. In 1945, the Thorlock was also involved in a U-Boat surrender. It was eventually sold to the Chilean Navy where it was used until 1967. There was a time when Canada could boast the third largest navy force in the world. Today it’s quite the opposite despite a strong campaign for increased recruitment and budget.

May – Revised
April was an off month for production because of traveling and playoff hockey, but now it’s May and it’s time to get things done. There’s a few jobs I finished which I am really proud of and will post here once said things are out and about. For now you’ll have to use your wild imaginations.
Just got the prints for the Buried Inside May shows and they look really sharp. Jesse Purcell at Repetitive Press did a great job with these. There will be 50 signed and numbered available at the shows (May 27th in Toronto, May 28th in Montreal). See you there.
This just in, this will be the last time Buried Inside plays Toronto and Montreal. There will be a final Ottawa show sometime later this year. After 13 years the band has come to an end. Lots of great memories for me with this band, happy to be playing these final shows.
Buried Inside Poster
New poster for the Buried Inside shows coming up in May (Toronto May 27th @ Sneaky Dee’s, Montreal May 28th @ Katacombes). There will be 50 of these for sale at the shows. Come out and get loose (with that pocket change).

DCT Posters are screened, signed, numbered (edition of 50) and ready for consumption. Grab one from the band next week on their tour.
