Drop in and rub shoulders with successful survivors, who are accomplished regardless of their limitations.

Paul Tomas http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/tomaspaul wanted so David spewed story out! Highfalutin discussion, internal monologue: a challenge to draw! Paul designed characters; drew, inked pages! David storyboarded, inked lettering. REVELASION is a collection of individual first hand accounts of mental healthcare today, woven into a fictional narrative, fleshed out with additional humorous fiction, and filled with a hope for tomorrow. “666”- the number of the beast coming up short -“777” the number of completion, achievement and completed Recovery, and the Trinity, so as to not exclude practical theology on practical philosophy and first hand experience, including “face” with “book”.

REVELASION is a collection of individual first hand accounts of mental healthcare today, woven into a fictional narrative, fleshed out with additional humorous fiction, and filled with a hope for tomorrow. “666” may be the number of the beast because he comes up short, but “777” is not only the number of completion, achievement and completed Recovery, it is the number of the Trinity, so as to not exclude practical theology founded on both practical philosophy and personal individual first hand experience, including “face” with “book”.

Try to guess what in each frame is real, and what in each frame is pure fiction! Mostly it is a blend of both, but the large part of this graphic novel IS REAL !!!

The Oakville OASIS Drawing Bee was started by David Foster on March 1st, 2010 and has continued every Monday morning since then,with the only exception being holidays, but we even usually meet on holidays! The coffee is free and we all enjoy drawing and conversation. Drawing is a really great way to start off your week by clearing your head of clutter and muscling up your mind to get your week started. Drop in any Monday between about 9:30am and noon.
