Sunflower Seeds
The current art installation at the Tate Modern in London, UK is making me swoon with awe, inspiration & a whole lot of "Damn I need to make more $$$ so that I can afford trips to see amazing art!" Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has created an entire hall filled with tiny, perfect replicas of… Continue reading Sunflower Seeds
Canzine
I will be displaying my wares as a vendor at Canzine tomorrow afternoon, Canada's largest zine fair & festival of alternative culture. The festival has a focus on indie publishing & though I've never published a zine myself, I'm frequently asked if I've ever thought about illustrating a children's book. I spent much of my… Continue reading Canzine
Back to Basics
I'm off to school tonight - week two of my Composition and Form class at Emily Carr. I was worried it would be too much of a "beginner" class & I might feel self-conscious about introducing myself as a full time artist, but since it's one of the required classes for me to complete my… Continue reading Back to Basics
Happy Thanksgiving!
This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, which means big family dinners abound & no school on Monday (though I'll still be working). Our extended family are all scattered a bit too far apart to get together this year (plane rides would be necessary), so it looks like it will be a quiet celebration round these parts.… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
The Drift
It's that time of year again! I'm one of the artists participating in The Drift, which kicks off tonight with an opening gala & art show. Local Vancouver artists have been paired up with various shops & stores all along Main Street, so folks can "drift" up & down the street while checking out lots… Continue reading The Drift
September Markets
It's been far too long since my last market. Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed taking a wee break, but it felt excellent to dust off my inventory sheets in preparation for this weekend & get back to making impossible TO DO lists. No matter how many hours I devote to prepping for a market, I've still… Continue reading September Markets
Visiting My Sister
Hello lovelies! I've been back from Winnipeg for a week now, but I feel like I've hardly had a moment to myself since I touched down in Vancouver. Though the Boggle app on my Information Phone begs to differ, we both agree that I've been a busy bee packaging up orders from my Etsy shop,… Continue reading Visiting My Sister
Is Lady Gaga a Mark Ryden Fan?
After a week of visiting family in Manitoba, I'm home & back in the swing of things, which (of course) means using the trending topics on Twitter to find out what I missed! I don't usually watch the VMAs, possibly because I don't usually watch music videos, but more likely because all of the awards… Continue reading Is Lady Gaga a Mark Ryden Fan?
The Fair
My mister & I have been enjoying feeling like kids again as we ran around the PNE, Vancouver's version of a county fair. Mini Donuts, ridiculously expensive lemonade, the Super Dogs - so much fun & so much nostalgia, even though we didn't grow up here. I think every city has some version of the… Continue reading The Fair
