It's nice to not be seeking legitimate illustration work anymore, now i can draw my sullen mishappen chicks without thinking it will disqualify me from the New Yorkers good graces. Creep for the win! My comfort zone, i bask in you again.

Zine Dream Follow Up, Attempt #1
I really need to sit down and do a few proper updates. I have my scanner hooked up and a new drafting table with drawers and shit now, so that should start happening once i adapt to this nine-hour-work-shift-plus-two-hour-workout schedule.
Anyway, the other thing I missed updating on was thanking everyone who came out to Zine Dream. It was awesome! My first event like that in Toronto, I met so many great people.
I stole this pic from Kat Verhoeven (you can read her article here) , my table buddy and general co-conspirator, although it was originally taken by my partner Misha Snyder, from who I will steal some photos of my actual setup to share with you.
I have terrible posture. More dumbbell reverse fly!
Sorry about all the typos, I wrote these on my iPhone.
SPACE AND TIME
Thank you to everyone who came out to our opening! We had such a fantastic time, and everyone was really, exceptionally nice. It was especially nice to see a lot of people I know but don't get to see often, as well as STRANGERS. Thanks be to BlogTO for picking us as the best bet for art shows for the day!
The opening is over but the show is still running, so you haven't missed your chance to see our art in this beautiful building. It runs until "the end of the month", which I think is the 30th! SO GO SEE IT.
Steam Whistle Brewing, The Roundhouse, 255 Bremner Blvd., Toronto.
Monday to Thursday: Noon to 6pm
Friday and Saturday: 11am to 6pm
Sunday: 11am to 5pm
They have beer. I hear a rumour they'll give you a free sample of Steamwhistle Beer. You might have to take a tour or be exhibiting in a show, but either of those tasks sounds kind of awesome.
Paintings from By The Pound
Technique i never used before, acrylic and masking tape. It was a lot of fun.
SPACE & TIME
SPACE & TIME - Art Show
Eleven emerging artists exploring the space-time continuum.
Our event listing is now up on the Steam Whistle Brewing site!
Eleven emerging artists come together in the New Year at Steam Whistle’s art gallery, to explore the broad, fascinating topic of Space and Time. For millennium, philosophers, scientists, dreamers and mathematicians have all gazed up at the universe wondering how it works, and what meanings are hidden in the stars. The cosmos has returned no answers, only more questions, posing greater and more fascinating puzzles. We now must wonder not just who we are, but where we are, and even when we are.
Through Space and Time, these eleven artists will explore these mysteries; from the scientific to the fantastic, they draw and paint the world beyond their reach, through intricate embroidery to grand painting, and detailed story. Literal, but more often than not interpretative, they will explore the emotional and scientific implications of time travel through narrative and character. The art presented will loosely interpret theorem and scientific knowledge, as well as strive to create unique views of science fiction, and the culture that has grown around our fascination with space and time. Visions of aliens and interstellar clouds will abound along with surreal imagery. We will explore the relationship between our cultures and the imagined cultures of the future, the possibility of terraforming and all that entails. What will our future look like? What if we could change it? The possibilities are endless, and the Space and Time show will explore many of them.
Join us for the Opening Night Party, Wednesday January 5, 2011 from 7-11 pm. Steam Whistle Brewing, The Roundhouse, 255 Bremner Blvd., Toronto M5V 3M9, or visit the brewery all month long to check out the exhibition.
RSVP at our Facebook Event Page, if you're into that sort of thing.
