The Future’s so Bright…

I leave Squid Row on a high note, mostly. Midge, who loves her job, will be stepping up to manager of Backstreet Comics. Now she’ll be head honcho in charge of ordering and shift managing and all the things necessary in running a store smoothly. She is no longer supporting dead-weight boyfriend Gabe and she’s seemed to have patched up things with Mouse somewhat.

Mouse… well, who knows if he’ll ever find the right girl. Midge, who is seeing a fella named Henry, seems like the right gal for Mouse… but perhaps a plutonic relationship is best.

Zeek, whose own married life keeps him from always joining in, remains a steadfast pal.

This is where I’ll leave Squid Row. It’s been a superb experience… and thank you for coming along!

Moving in a New Direction…

Dearest Squiddies… I’ve come to the fork in the road. One path, the smooth paved one, is continuing in comics and the other path is the dirt road to a more “fine art-centric” route. I’ve enjoyed my path in comics… and I have had so much fun in Squid Row! I want to thank you for coming along with me on the Squid Row adventures, but alas, I’m heading down the other road.

When I moved to Portland, Oregon last year, I was looking for some new direction…. some reinvention. It has become more clear to me over the past year that the change was coming and comics was going to be something I focused a little less on. I’m not planning on giving up comics entirely… just maintaining two comics on a regular basis.

I have loved Randie & Ryan and Squid Row… I am grateful for your readership and your support over the years! Thank you! I will keep the sites up for both comics… and will post from time to time… but I’ll direct your eyeballs over to bridgettspicer.com for most things. Also you can follow me around on my instagram where I update frequently… instagram.com/brigtoon … I will also be updating my Patreon account to reflect things… for those of you who give.

So Sept. 29th will be the last comic for Squid Row and Sept 27th will be the last for R&R.

Again… thank you for all your support and your readership! Smiles!

-Bridgett

Drooly Dog… My friend Betsy Streeter makes zines… mini zines called Drooly Dog. It’s a zine that has a positive empowerment bent… and yes, there are some dogs in there, too. I was the guest artist for number 8. And… they’re free…  If you wanna know more or wanna get some, go to betsystreeter.com

This coming Sunday, June 10th, is Mimosa Sunday at Sidestreet Arts. Come by to see the fabulous art therein. The current show features the wonderful art of Denise Krueger and Shari Carlson. I have some pieces lurking about the gallery as well… and don’t miss having a chance to talk to the artist members of the gallery… they’re a hoot!.

11-2 pm. Tasty brunchy items and Mimosas for the appropriately aged.

140 SE 28th Ave., Portland, Oregon

From the art desk…

It’s been a while since I posted on this site’s blog. Since I last blogged here, much has happened. I’ve put my studio right (even though there is much to still do by way of de-cluttering), I’ve got on with a gallery nearby (The Sidestreet Arts gallery on 28th in Portland), AND I’ve been a mad collage-ing art crazy person! I’ve upped my game by doing Randie & Ryan, Squid Row and the arting… I’ve changed my working habits, and am full of new energy. Whew.

The focus in my art studio has been collage. I spend most the day cutting up pieces of paper, arranging them in accordance to my muses, and then framing the results. I currently have 8 of my collages at the gallery mentioned above (and 10 MugShots). Since dropping those off, I’ve created 5 more framed works… and have several more in the works.

So here’s a question? Have you missed my blabbing on? You can find my visual blabbing on Instagram (@brigtoon) or… if you can swing it, ( …and here it comes) by giving me just $2 a month via Patreon.com, you can get the Patreon blog twice a week. This blog covers the inspirations for all the collage/art/comics and artists ramblings that you might expect…  $5 a month gets you five days of blogging …and $10 gets you all that and an art postcard in the mail every month (and there’s more). There’s a link in the sidebar (“Become my Patron”). Why not go and have a look… I really do appreciate your support.

Moved All IN

I’m all moved into my new home and studio. The latter is in a functioning state, finally. It took a lot of work to get it together. I had to let go of some things in order to fit in… like a very nice drawing table and my BIG executive desk and bookshelf. I am still tweaking things… but I’ve got IKEA shelving in, and Nelson’s old IKEA wrap around desk… it’s working good so far. This is the first day I’ve gotten the laptop set up and running. The space will accommodate more collage and art creationing. It’s going to be good!
