I live in Calgary, in a great neighbourhood called Ramsay. In 2011, I was invited to be part of the Calgary Herald's "Project Calgary", a series of articles documenting the city's neighbourhoods. My contribution was a full-page newspaper comic strip piece about Ramsay! (That piece can be seen here.)
That comic strip led to a new idea - a monthly strip for the Ramsay community newsletter. It's been running for two years now! You can see the strips below (updated monthly), or on the Ramsay Community Association website, here.
After attending a neighbourhood event I helped to organize (the 23rd Avenue Artwalk & Street Celebration), Calgary arts blogger Binzento Vincente wrote about Ramsay: "Officially I can call it the most artsy part of town." (Here's his blog post about the event. Scroll down the page... it's just after his post about the Glenbow Museum's exhibition opening.) Yay Ramsay!
Ideas for the Ramsay strip? Please send them my way!
