TC Hawk Visits NSCC

Most Tuesdays I visit the Little White Schoolhouse Museum and the NSCC (Truro) campus. I thought the TC Hawk should have a visit. He was pleased. Although the front of Forrester is changed, both inside and out, most of the campus is the same and the feeling is still there. We, Professor Tassel, the TC Hawk and I, feel at home at a McCarthy Hall Art Opening or in the hallways of Forrester, or chatting about old times at the LWSH Museum Hall.

My Extended Family

My extended cartoon family has grown over the years. This picture of the herd was done about ten years ago, and I'm sure I didn't get them all and many foster children have been added since then. The four children in front were to be part of a proposed comic strip "Down East" and included, left to right, Strum, Flint, Libby, Preston and Iza Bye. The elder couple behind them, to the left, were the Eaton-Sleeps, Les and Moira; in the middle, a bit larger than life, is Professor Tassel. To his right is the Tide family: Eb, Flo, Hi, Lo, and Saxby; to his left, G.T. and Peach Melba and their dog, Athabaska. I could probably name them all but it might tax my brain too much this morning. Anyway, that's it for now. - N

This TAS artist may have waited too long and missed the colours. Don't you. Get painting for the Harvest Moon Festival Exhbit which will be opening before we know it. Take in will be on the 17th and the opening reception is Sept, 18th. Exhibit runs until the end of October. More specifics to follow. Should be an invite and newsletter in the mail or on line soon.

Country Music


Did a poster for my friend Bill Huey. Each year Bill arranges concerts either honoring some country legend or celebrating country and gospel music. Earlier there was one (a poster and a concert) paying tribute to Jim Reeves. This time a Steel Guitar virtuoso joins local talent for a cpountry music concert in Stewiacke.
