A long overdue posting. Moving has me a little disconnected these days, between neurotic cats, overworked construction workers and an unfulfilled nesting instinct it’s been quite the upheaval … one foot in front of the other and it all gets there in the end.

Check out new work this Thursday at…

The grad show is over, my thesis complete the only thing left? To train my army of monkeys and dominate the world! … I’d settle for a small island, to tell you the truth.

Thanks to all those who came to the grad show at OCAD and congratulations to everyone who displayed. It was an incredible show and I’m honored to have shown beside you.

I’m moving over the next two weeks so updates will most likey have to wait until after May 24 weekend.

Enjoy the long weekend, I know I will

Finally things are winding down and the grip of anxiety and stress are begining to loosen.

The opening of “I Can’t Give You My Heart” at Renaissance Cafe was simply and totally awesome. HUGE THANK YOU to all those who came out and showed your support, it was an fantastic night and all your fault

In other news the OCAD grad show is coming up fast. My thesis work: Heirlooms will be on display in all it *ahem* glory *ahem*. I’ll post dates later this week but until then keep an eye out on the gallery here as I post the last of the work.

It’s spring … sort of (If your in Toronto then your rolling your eyes right along with me) and felt time for a little face lift and update. A few new pieces have been added and the site is, for all intents and purposes, complete. Keep an eye out for a store in the future with books, prints and shiny bits of swag for your consumption.

Until then…

The good people at The Renaissance Cafe have been kind enough to give me my own show in their space. The work will be up all April, but the Opening is one night only! Hope you can make it out!

It’s all about thesis, thesis thesis thesis…did you take a look at the thesis? Other than that it’s just been a staring contest between me and the snow. I think I can win this one…

This was done sometime over the summer, a piece of wod found by my friend Allan and traded for some tasty corn. Thanks to Sam for the photograph of this (and all the Heirloom pieces) and Allan for letting me trade food for alley wood. Something to be said for the barter system I tell ya…
