i made this little book for a trade with rob. he made me some mixes. it's my first foray into the world of little book making. i'd like to spend more time doing it as this one is a bit hapazard, but i will need more ink and other supplies. i'm taking lithography now with hopes of one day printing a little book, which will take a very long time.

heavy snowfall possible saturday and sunday. fine with me! i no longer live in winnipeg. i live in the clouds by myself where it's warm and lonely. the sun is the only thing that can hurt me.

this is one of the pieces i made for the 7" art show at the edge, as part of d.i.y. fest. most of the artists showing are self-taught. there will be food and music and good vibes all around. see you on the 15th. i'm donating to mawa's annual fundraiser, which is happening the next day, the 16th. i will be there stuffing my face with the prettiest cupcakes on the planet!

this is my second plate. i'm still working on it, as some of the lines were so thin on the waves that they didn't come through. coloured with ink. i really love printing.

So I got all dressed up for Greg Hanec's Tunes A Plenty, and the 5th reel was missing! Amazing! All the lights in the theater went on, as Dave ran to go look for it. I took a snack break and went to Platform for some pita bread and Rob Vilar handshakes. The reel was never found, so Greg told just told us what happened. Guy Maddin introduced the film. He is always amazing to listen to.
I hope Greg's old band plays somewhere soon. Perhaps in my living room. During the film all I wanted to do was dance. Greg received a lifetime membership to the Film Group (jealous!) for all his efforts and for being an all around cool guy.
Long weekend. I have to work on my etching and hopefully become less intimidated by this process. My mentor has been doing it for 7 years! And is pretty much a master. I have a long way to go, but I don't mind. Get in where you fit in, and stick with it!

i'm tired of this frozen shithole. for the first time in a long time, i can honestly say, i hate winnipeg.
my vancouver trip was fun, though hectic and too short. aaron has a sweet job now at sixcentpress making buttons and drinking tea all day. sometimes, he even watches movies while he works. so the rumor is aaron's house is breaking up, and jonny is going to toronto. apparently i just missed his giant drawing and painting giveaway. shit! maya is working at a tattoo shop and is looking fine as ever. her room is a museum of transformed vintage oddities, that she definitely needs to showcase.
i start a new job at guppy graphic design this week. it felt so good to quit my last job. i don't even really believe it yet.
i hope to start my videopool animation soon. hopefully there is a new education coordinator bumping around.

i start classes again next week, with my mentor Patrick Neufeld. i'm quite excited. i'd like to learn how to make etchings on good paper, and just make them look old, lol.
i have a lot of cleaning to do today. if only i could get off the computer and stop obessing over mr. edward del rosario's paintings.

i drew this for a friends halloween party, though i forgot to post it. i finished my first silkscreen and i'm not too happy with it, so it will stay in the scrap box for a while. i've been offered a mentorship with martha street in the new year, and i've chosen to study etching in hopes of printing a book one of these days. i have stacks of old paper waiting to be pressed.
i went to michael benjamin browns show last night, and got to talking about substitute TA jobs for the school division. what a charming young man. he gave us free beer and some great conversation. so he hangs out with kids all day, and has enough energy to go home and make art all night. sounds pretty nice. i must resign from my day job in a month or two and do this. work hasn't made me this unhappy since my stint at kfc when i was 16. i don't think i'll be going to the xmas party.
clint got a nice holiday sweater. i found a tie dye shirt.
