I’m a little behind on the blog these days, so I’ll take advantage of this shitty Sunday morning to catch up.

Last Saturday was Jon’s birthday. He invited us up for a barbecue with some friends, at his and Laura’s house. We had a terrible drive there, hitting every possible construction / collision hiccup we could. Almost four hours after we left the falls, we finally arrived in Toronto. When we arrived there was Jon, Laura, and two of Jon’s friends I had never met before. Then a third friend I’d never met showed up, and a short time later a fourth. Everyone was really nice, and we sat around talking about fun stuff and eating delicious dips that Jon made.

Later in the evening the party got moved indoors as it was getting quite cold on the back patio. We watched Machete and all but one of us enjoyed it. Then Jon and I walked his fourth friend over to the bus stop (I’ll refrain from filling everyone in on just how much I ended up hating this girl by the end of the night, or why… let’s just chock it up to being drunk, but definitely not on boxed wine) partially against her will.

My birthday present was kind of lame (several packs of blunt wraps), and only hours before we left did I realize that Jon has told me in the past how much he likes my robot doodles, so I decided to make a JonWayne-a-chron (get it?). I didn’t have enough time to finish the model before we got there, so I just showed it to him and gave him an I.O.U.

So here’s the grand unveilling of Jon’s birthday present (phase zero) to the world. Hopefully he likes it. It was finished days ago, but I decided to spend a few days rendering some stuff in indigo.
