2013, The Year in Review


The website is in the process of a big update showcasing some of the great projects I had the pleasure of working on in 2013. Here's a small sample of some of the work on it's way to the site - projects that have kept us happy (and busy!) over the past 12 months. 
Here, we look back fondly and look forward with much anticipation...

back to the (sketch)book


I've never been a diligent "sketchbooker", no matter how hard I tried. A shiny new book every year with the expectation that I would paint, glue, tear and scratch into every page, most often ended up being a very long to-do list. How depressing! I often looked back upon my art school years with such fondness, though, where we were forced to fill pages, were held accountable for it, and were all the better for it. So when I heard that Aaron Leighton was offering another one of his "subconscious sketchbook" classes at Nook Collective, I jumped at the chance. The most valuable lesson? Stop thinking and start doing, forgoodnesssakes.
It's been fun, therapeutic, and has allowed me to throw the inhibitions out the window
(well...sort of. Hey, we're all works in progress.)

Here's a selection of some of my pages thus far....
(hopefully with many more to come!)

Step 3: Shower Them with Gifts

I'm feeling inspired by the beautiful colours and textures of the season.
Here's part of a piece I did last October, in honour of fall. See the final published piece here.
Enjoy the bounty-a pile of pumpkins!

Crappy Valentine's Day!

Asia, apparently


I just got back from my first foray into Asia-Hong Kong and Vietnam to be exact-and wanted to share...

Here are some quick sketches and snaps of the trip, but if I don't get these other images out of my head and onto page soon, she's gonna blow! Talk about sensory overload. Check back often as I update the blog with the travel-log. (apparently the place, along with providing great visual reference, also turned me second-rate poet)

sweater season


Even though I'm sick due to the weather change, my heart still flutters as we approach my favourite time of year...
(though I hope the heart fluttering isn't anything serious; back to the doctor I go)
