Well, looking back I realized that it was August 18, 2009 that was my first post on this blog. That means the blog is one year old, and my journey as a creative visualist is one year further along. This year has been full of un-forseen hiccups (Shane moving, some staff moving on to rock [...]
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.

A while back I posted about the design I was working for the Wiens Mandolins shirt. Here is a pic of the finished product. They come in a variety of small-batch colours, and custom requests are welcome. For more information about how you can get yourself one of these spanky shirts go to the Wiens [...]
A friend recently told me: “The only thing you can count on in a partnership is that someday it will end”. The more I think about it the more I realize this is true. I am privileged to say that my relationship with my business partner Shane has been as close to perfect as I [...]
On occasion I get to dabble in furniture and architectural accessory design in my work with my colleagues at Reimer & Co. Here are some furniture ideas I’ve been working on for a modern timber residence up in Golden, BC. Furniture is one of my favourite design mediums, though the opportunity to design pieces that [...]
