Thank you. Years ago i used to try to do more "realism" but realized my "finished" works lacked the energy of my sketchbook so ive spent the better part of my career trying to get the two styles to meet!

Hey "tough guy" Jesse with your $200 haircut: how about a fight to see who gets whose country? You against any random dude in Tim Horton's. Would that quench your thirst??

I'll see if i can find it. It was an interview on...global i think - the interviewer asked him how his relationship was with Trump & he said he didnt have one. He said he thought the 51st state thing was a joke - which wasnt funny. Actually sounded sane for about 5 minutes.

I dislike PP a LOT but he has actually said a couple of times there's no chance in hell he'd consider it. at 6% - 13% (depending upon which poll you believe) at least 87 - 94% of canadians (all parties) dont want it. Ever.

Yeah this has always been a problem with the Meta platforms. If you see fake Johnny Depp account, no big deal: Report "impersonating" and point to the real Depp. But what about an... Emma Stone account. She's not on social media but you cant report because you cant point to the actual Celeb.
