The King.

The Great Outdoors.

This weekend I took the tank outside for a backyard adventure. He was super stoked about it, rolling around like he was 4 years younger and 10 pounds lighter. A new man indeed.

Though I have NO expertise when it comes to gardening, I've decided to finally attempt a backyard clean up. D and I NEVER used our very private and amazing back yard last year. This = criminal. So far I'm just in the cleaning up debris phase, but I managed to (trans)plant some parsley and basil into one of the garden worthy areas. I wonder if they'll live!? Let the great experiment begin . . . .

Yawn, yawn, yawn.

Cat's yawn because everything we do is so boring to them. Attitude can be so charming.

This weekend was productive to the max. This yawning kitty will be the star of my 5th print for the Whippersnapper show.

Band practice and bad weather made my miss Jesjit's FREE DRAWINGS show at XSPACE on Friday. Boo to me. Jesjit makes inspirational multi colour prints that expand your mind! FREE DRAWINGS is a newsprint collaboration he put together featuring a wack of great artists. I can't wait to get my hands on one in the near future to check it out!

OLD COUPLES, CATS AND TEETH.

I'm currently working on a series of non-poster prints for an art show in April at The Whippersnapper Gallery called Colour Is The Keyboard (an exhibition featuring musicians that make visual art). I don't know how I got myself mixed up in all of this, but I'm really looking forward to trying to pull it off - ha!

Here are a couple of things that I'll be including:

It will be a series of screen prints detailing some of the things I'm currently fixated with: elderly couples, cats with attitude, hand drawn text and teeth. I can't imagine living without any of these things! Prints will be small (6X9inches) and as colourful as possible. I hope to make each one a small snapshot of a very particular feeling.

One of the curators will be writing an essay for the program dealing with how music affects art making and how art affects music making. I came up short trying to put my thoughts together on this for her in time - it was a bit more difficult then I thought it would be! More on this at another time . . .
