This is the pencil sketch that will be auctioned off at the upcoming Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo in April 2008. All the proceeds of all the pieces to be auctionned will go to charity for kids.

The theme is supposed to be someting to do with the west. The west that I chose was in Alberta, which has a similar arid climate to Texas, as well as mountains. Oil is also found in abundance in this province and as a result they have no state/provincial tax.

But rather than do another pic with guns and such, which everyone did last year i took a different approach.

One thing you find a lot of in Alberta is very well preserved old cars. Why? Well for one, in winter they use gravel opposed to salt to deal with snow. Salt is only really good till -10°c so once it goes down to -35°c then you just have to dump gravel on the snow to give it grip. My favourite muscle car is the 1970 Dodge Charger, yes the "Dukes of Hazzard" car, it is just so badass.

One cute girl in cowboy hat and pretty dress, check. Prairie and some mountains, check.

Ok so whats with the AC plug in her hand? Well, I wanted to encourage an idea of going "green", but it doesn't mean it has to be dorky. So why not an electric muscle car, i am allowed to imagine. Afterall, there are electric trains, and other powerful vehicles. Maybe some mechanic will attempt to build one!

"GRNCHRGR" means to say "Green Charger". Yes the pun was intended. I guess it really would be a 'Charger' in this case! Electric car, charger, get it?

Wind turbines are in the BG to also encourage further other sources of energy. We have a giant one of these in Toronto by the lake. Wind is free, just like the sun, when I get a house i will totally have solar panels on the roof. Free energy is a good thing. Alberta has plenty of sun and wind.

I will be colouring this one, but the auctioned piece will be the pencil drawing. i will make a print of the colour version I am thinking.

This is awesome! I like the combination of something mechanical with something organic. It really shows off how you can draw both very well! :)

I can't wait for the colored version!!
