Hello from Toronto, Canada

@Coley Thanks! Newfoundland is one of my bucket list destinations. Had the chance to go this November but flights are just too expensive. Had a previous trip to Iceland and Newfoundland looks beautiful even from the air! The mountains were cutting through the clouds!

@peteolczyk No problem. My name caused so much confusion all my life and continues to do so. It’s an Italian name for boys.
You’re probably the third or fourth person to tell me that my tiger character (named Ti-Ger) reminds people of Hobbes
it wasn’t my intention when I designed him but originally he was orange in colour. Then I decided maybe I should keep him black and white to avoid confusion. Though there is a definite difference between my drawing abilities and Bill Watterson’s

@peteolczyk Thumbs up on agreeing stuttering is cool
Do you stutter as well? -
@danielerossi I know, the flight costs are terrible. Not too fun trying to get off of this place! But it is pretty awesome
Iceland is on my bucket list! -

Though there is a definite difference between my drawing abilities and Bill Watterson’s He’s so successful it’s hard not to compare an illustration to his work. You’ve got a fun style and a great niche where you can really positively help. (I don’t stutter but I fully get your message) - and as for names you should see the spellings I get at least you have vowels, my last names mostly consonants

Hi there and welcome! I'm younger, thirty, but I also live in the GTA! Nice to see some potential local friends on here.

@DreaGryphon It would be great to meet other artists. I’m the only one I know in my area! Which is odd since Toronto has 3 million people

@danielerossi Welcome!!

Hey! Welcome to the forums. Nice to see more members from Ontario! I'm in Kingston just a couple of hours away.

Thanks @juliepeelart and @Josh-Masse! I’ve been to Kingston many times. Beautiful place. Especially the drive along Princess Street by the water (if I remember the name correctly).
