Leah’s Drawing from ‘How To Draw Warriors’
Leah took a book out of the library called ‘How To Draw Warriors’ – we’re pretty excited to see her first drawing!

Welcome the new year, 2012
Certainly, blogs are dead, replaced for the most part by Facebook, and so I admit a kind of personal blog like this can seem redundant. What exactly am I going to post – and why – when most of the people whom I would be reaching out to are already connected to me through “social…

Leah Louise – my real hero
Jillian Tamaki is my newest superhero, but my the real hero in my life is my daughter Leah. Every day she tries something new, embraces life, and creates something. She blows my mind.

Popular around our house: Alicia Keys Superwoman
Lots of dancing ensues when this comes on the stereo. I love each time Leah says the words They’re comin’

Mom’s chair
Sue Ericsson’s Drawing Fundamentals class at Ryerson. It’s my mother’s old chair in our living room. I had sketched it rough, and then used the sketch as a reference for this shading exercise in the class.

Sometimes
My wife and I have a saying between us: Sometimes sometimes means yes, sometimes sometimes means no, and sometimes sometimes means sometimes. I’m not entirely sure what I want this blog to do, except that I’d like to be able to post our goings-on from time to time, for friends and family, and to find…

cottage snow
Not a regular sketch, I know, but I couldn’t help but share these amazing photos we grabbed at our cottage early Sat. morning. A freak snowstorm hit our region early November (thank you global warming) as we were closing it down for the winter, covering the trees with wet snow. It didn’t last more than…
