    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!

  • Goodbye, Jasper

    Goodbye, Jasper

    Our lovely black cat passes on. A sketch of her sleeping on our chair from earlier this year.

  • Leah Louise – my real hero

    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.

    Lots of dancing ensues when this comes on the stereo. I love each time Leah says the words They’re comin’

  • Mom’s chair

    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.

    Cindy Woods 1956-2008

    Cindy Woods made a deep, deep impression on me as one of the very few people who inspired me to keep  drawing, not only by her generous encouragement, and by her incredible example of talent — but of her humanity. I would encourage anyone to visit the sites she populated with her art and joy.…

    These are the photos I would choose for their CD cover if my wife and daughter were to form a rock band.

  • 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…

  • Self Portrait

    EEEK! I know, I know, looks like a police rendering of a serial killer. My wife calls it ‘the portrait of the artist is a big suck.’ Still here’s my first self portrait. I’ve been inspired (yet again!) by Cindy, this time by her self portaits. She’s particpating in Sparky’s “Self-Portrait Marathon“, and now so…

  • play

    Another from the series of found drawings, scribblings on the backs of work documents I’m reading on the way home. This one I tried to follow Dalton’s advice and colour and play with it a bit after I found it. I ended up colouring a few of them with Leah, using her markers. I’ve let…

  • Summer 2005

    Another forgotten sketch kicking around in my bag. This one’s from last August.
