It seems counter-intuitive but you receive things (albeit sometimes intangible things) by giving. You receive pleasure by giving pleasure, you gain connection through giving of yourself. So this holiday season I invite you to give something of yourself to someone else and see what happens.

I decided to give the pencils a rest and get my Wacom graphics tablet outside. They’re quite rough and ready… but oh well.

Whirlwind Entry

October 30, 2010

I feel bad. It has been a while since my last entry, too long really. I actually have much to tell you and much to share with you, I just haven’t yet put it together in blogform.

What A Difference…

October 4, 2010

I’m sure my mind works in mysterious ways, certainly ways that seem bewildering and wonderful to me. It will just collect random pieces of information to be used ‘some day.’ Until that day they just remain random data. Then, suddenly, and rather miraculously, a penny will drop, something will stick, bits of information from widly diverse disciplines will coincide in an almighty “A-HA!” moment.

Reports Of My Death Have Been…

August 7, 2010

Just checking in, really. This has been a frustrating week dogged by illness and inner-critics and technical problems.

Today I am cleaning up. I am taking stock – in the most literal sense. I’ve concluded I have enough stationery supplies to last several lifetimes. I’ll have to reign myself in the next time I swing by OfficeWorks…

Telling Secrets

April 13, 2010

My art practice involves too many secrets. Things I don’t want to share with anyone, things I don’t even want to admit to myself. Even bringing myself to admit that I wanted to paint in the first instance took over a year. It’s one of the greatest ironies of my existence that while anyone who knows my name can throw it into a search engine and see everything I create and share online I am incredibly guarded with people I know in (quote-unquote) ‘real life.’
