Making decals

These are some lino prints that are pulled from some carvings I did at Georgian Bay Islands National Park. I printed then using black glass enamel onto a special waterslide paper. Then when they were dry and clear coated I fastened them on my glass and they are getting fired on permanent
ly in the kiln as we speak. Woot woot!

I Will Build My Empire - Chapter 1

The following is 3 pages of conversations between me, my sketchbook, my markerpen, a beer and the crabapple tree I was sitting under.

Authentic Italian Cuisine

When we were in Italy I learned from Matt's Aunt Terresina how to make potato gnocchi. She spoke no English and I spoke no Italian but somehow we sorted it out. Back at home, this is my first attempt at unsupervised gnocchi, which was so heavenly I thought I would pass out. I did not pass out but it was so close. Pure scrumptiousness, and it only took me two hours to make!

Summerfolk weekend.

I would like to make a poster inspired by this photo I took and the starry night above the stage and submit it for next years image. Summerfolk posters are often kind of lame and would like to see if I can change that. What did you guys do this weekend?

working through the slow part

i made this yesterday and something about it really didnt feel right.  in a dream a german sheppard came to me and told me it would be fine.   i included him in the piece hoping that it would make it better.   the rest is the progression from today




A trip to Nicole's

So many photogenic animals at Nicole's... so little time. We were on our way to the horse circus.

Bracken turned Citrus

Trying to get up the enthusiasm to post these on Etsy, unfortunately I can't seem to muster up any thrill about the process. Sometimes I like posting on there, but other times, the multiple pages on forms and tag words and product descriptions and shipping options is just too much for me. Totally kills my creative gusto. Oh well, that's business i guess.
