X and O 2.0

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

This post comes a little late. These past two weeks have been a bit nutty, but in the best way possible. Part of this nuttyness finds me prepping for the up coming X and O Show hosted by Lover Magazine in support of the Toronto Womens Bookstore. I’ll have the latest heirlooms piece on display and another new piece for auction. Keep an eye out here and a lovermagazine.ca for details.

That’s all for now, but keep an ear out for a few photo updates as soon as my camera battery is charged.

I miss being able to feel my toes.

It’s winter again. Every year when the cold first sets in I’m okay with it. I find myself thinking “My what a good Canadian I am, walking to work in the cold and smiling all the way. Bring on the snow!”. Then January hits, inevitably the heat in my building fails, I sit in my living room wrapped in blankets, wearing a polar fleece robe covered in teddy bears I’ve had since 1994, three pairs of socks and a toque, fake fireplace running full blast. My what a good Canadian I am.

But despite it all, this year I’m not in the living room, but in the studio, still wrapped in blankets and the heats not working, but I am.

While you’re here, check out the posters for the next Small Print event. It’s going to be a blast!

I’m going to make some hot chocolate…

See ya later 2009! Don’t forget anything on your way out…

It’s FINALLY a new year, a whole shiny new decade in fact, and I’m determined to hit the ground running. Last year was slow and I can’t say it was the most pleasant year in recent memory and I’ve been looking forward to the fresh clean sheets feeling of the new year.

What’s in store you ask?

Keep an eye out for the continuing of the Heirlooms work, promo’s in the mail, weekly blog updates (Yup, you read it correctly, I said weekly) and digital images to blow your mind….not enough for you? Just wait.

The Double BLT

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Take a gander at the apron I painted for Eat to the Beat, a breast cancer fundraiser centered around chefs, food and corsets put on by Willow this past October

What is the Double BLT? Bacon, Boobs Lettuce and Tomato.
