I often take pictures while I work, and recently, I came across an older project when looking through my albums on Flickr. As I haven’t shown it before, I thought I’d do so.

Another Creative Venture
I’ve decided to try my hand at creative writing, and have been working on a novella – in addition to my art. I’m not sure how far I’ll take it, but I’m really enjoying the challenge.

Above, is a rough edit of my book cover. The title will probably change, as will the cover art.
Writing is hard work, but like art, it’s a wonderful way to pass the time. Like anything worth doing, it can be frustrating at times, but I’m really having a lot of fun re-working sentences, and fitting everything together – no really, I am.
This is a first attempt, so I’m a ways from putting anything out. That said, my goal is to one day e-publish a book. Short of hiring an editor, I’m going to try to do everything else myself, so, it’s probably going take a long time to complete.
I’ll post more updates in the future.
Go Leafs Go!
I’m way too excited to write a post today, as my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs are in the playoffs starting tonight. Instead, here are some picks I took at a game this year.

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time.
“I have good news and bad news,” the owner replied. “The good news is that a gentleman enquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.”
“That’s wonderful,” the artist exclaimed. “What’s the bad news?”
“The guy was your doctor…”
