Look at this… two sketchy posts in one week! I must have a very interesting life all of a sudden. This past weekend, myself and 3 of my metal-working companions levered ourselves into an extended-cab pickup and drove 22 hours to Salida, Colorado (pronounced just like ‘saliva’) to hear the incomparable Albert Paley deliver a [...]
We were in Nelson, BC over the weekend for a wedding (sans kids!) and I took advantage of the opportunity to walk around and find some more old building to sketch. There is ample supply of buildings and cool houses in this historic community that had the foresight to keep all the buildings up (instead [...]
For the art show and reception we had last week, I painted a few new paintings. Below are three new canvases and one from a couple of years ago, all ranging in size from medium to quite large. All still for sale if there are those who want. Prices as marked.
Saturday morning a bunch of us went hoofed it down to the first Farmer’s Market of the season to busk. We had a rotation of 8 or 9 people so it was a great little song circle that let everyone had a chance. At the end of the market we had collected $120 which we [...]
Last year my brother and I started a tradition of taking off for a long weekend in May, just the boys. Our last foray was south and west to Oregon where we visited Portland and camped on the beach near Tillamook. It was a great trip, but this year we were looking for something with [...]
Hello all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here, there has been a ton on the go and I’ve been working my derriere off for the last 6 weeks but I wanted to show you some of the things that are going on. First, Paul and I are actively working on a new sculpture [...]
Here are a couple of drawings, one is from this weekend, sitting in a coffee shop looking across the street. I keep finding old buildings around here that I had not noticed. There are a ton of character homes, one day I’ll spend a day and ride my scooter around and draw a bunch of [...]
One of my favourite parts of design is working with companies to create (or re-create) a logo, brand, or brand system. The cool part is it is an infinitely scalable process that can take 5 hours (don’t tell anyone I said that) or it can hundreds of hours. The real difference between the lower end [...]
Well, it wasn’t planned, but it is kinda fun for a change. When life gives you lemons, make rum & coke (with a slice of lemon). Our office has been out of commission since Monday morning due to an ‘upgrade’ that Telus had planned for our office internet package. Instead of going from 6.0 mbps [...]
I would like to wish all my loyal and faithful readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I had planned to get a couple new posts up before the holidays, but because of a couple of really big projects launching right before the break, I wasn’t able to carve out the time to do [...]
