Hochelaga inn


I want to buy milk but milk is expensive but I have a brownie in my hand and milk would go sooo well with that.
So I need a plan
A plan to make money

In a co-op café:
"hey ...i was wondering, i'm on a holiday here and im kind of bored, would you maybe like somebody to work here for a week? I don't need a lot of money, it would just be cool if I could make a bit"
"oh that's so cute, I'll ask"
"...."
"No"


So. If the co-op café doesn't want me, i don't think anybody would like to employ me for a week. Especially since, you know, I'm not actually allowed to work in Canada.

But the milk is just too damn expensive! (not to mention that I intend to go to Niagara falls this weekend:P).

bzzt
Idea (this is how this idea sounded in my head, sometimes they sound
differently. I love the ones which are like lillibabadingdang, they are usually fun ideas. This one is fun too, but bzzt ideas usually require a lot of work)

How about.... I make linoprints of the inn accross the street, Hochelaga inn (i like the name...sounds like "highlow" inn). I have lino stuff anyway. And it's a beautiful building. I bet they want authentic lino postcards. And, most importantly: It'll be fun:) (keeps me off the streets, you know, dangerous kingston streets...with ghosts everywhere -did you know that the city park was actually a graveyard, and they just flattened the graves and put grass over it? If you walk on the
grass without shoes you can still feel the gravestones...)

So here i go.


Pictures:

1: the house
2: the sketch
3: the prints (wait, is that paint on the floor...shhh don't tell Connor..maybe he won't notice)
4: the end product.

Did anybody buy them? No. (Not yet). But hey. I had fun. And it kept me off the streets. Almost as good as milk. Almost.
