Action

One thing I will admit to missing about living in Toronto? The sheer number of movies playing in theatres at any given time. I used to live across the street from The Carleton which was AMAZING if not bank-breaking.

So I’m pretty psyched that the Hamilton World Film Festival starts tomorrow. Some of these movies [...]

Park It (pretty sure I’ve used this headline before)

I haven’t been into the studio in too long. I was going to head in Monday and Tuesday but I was so burned out on not having spent any time at home for so long and then it was rainy and so I just swung by the studio and picked up some paints and canvas [...]

Super Saturday

I spent most of yesterday’s hours sleeping, but after so many days and nights of not sleeping in the weeks leading up, I don’t know that it did much to normalize me.

As a result I have few words to put to Supercrawl 2012.  But I do have some I-photos…

On Friday afternoon we [...]

Summer Job

Over the course of this summer, Spec writer Rhiannon Russell and I put together an arts series aimed at introducing readers to some of amazing artists in Hamilton.

It took lot of our time these last two months (not to mention photographers’ time – every one of the more than 100 artists featured had a [...]

Buy me some peanuts and…mmmmm, peanuts…

Remember my baseball glove wallet? I ripped the stitching out and tried again with more pockets for cards and red lacing, just like on a baseball.

Hand-dyed red lace, did I mention that? IT WAS A MESS.

Please take your time looking at this stuff. It might be the last image you [...]

Works on its own or as a separate compartment in a larger bag.

This guy will be at White Elephant during Supercrawl but be [...]

Stocking up

I’ve been working away on some extra stuff to fill the shelves at White Elephant this month because Supercrawl is coming fast and they’re going to have a small table of their local artists set up.

The below are made of my Dryden hide and a snippet of this beautiful teal leather I picked up [...]

All work and no play?

Happy labour day! What are you doing inside staring at the Internet? Go enjoy the last gasp of summer!

Crown Land

Guys, I have no patience. NO PATIENCE. Welcome to the name change. Hope you had time to say your goodbyes to Shoot from the Hip because I put it down overnight.

Welcome to the new name. I found it in one of these two books (well, I didn’t learn it from them, but I added [...]

Extra, extra!

All I have to talk about today is paper. Starting with this month’s Explore. I’ve got a piece in there. If you want to start surfing, read all about it.

Next up – when I was home over the weekend my Grandma gave me a bunch of magazines from the 60s. All about the [...]
