Prints, rats, and blooms
So, today’s weekly update blog. I spent today taking a gelli printing workshop today up in Ladysmith. I had picked up a couple Gelli plates last year after I took that monotype class at MISSA and intended to get to using them, but kept getting sidetracked. Then I spotted...
Parrots, sketches, and blooms
Where did the week go? Well, I started feeling like crap on Wednesday night and Thursday… I’m better now but still tired and stuffy. So I’ve been taking it easy for the most part and rescheduling appointments. Before getting sick, I popped by the Butterfly Garden to spend some...
Lego, Nick, and Hack Ideas
Back to the Saturday life update blogs… if only to procrastinate on cleaning the kitchen, lol… So, some Lego updates. I got the Elvis art set a couple weeks ago and assembled it, then finally got the King hung up over the throne in the downstairs bathroom: On a...
Fraud, mice-men, art, and not-mine flowers
Been a month or so again, here we go. Saturday life update blog but on Monday night because I’m behind on things. The big event of the month? Well, take it away, Noah: Ugh… so I had a bunch of time battling with shitty website forms and sitting on...
A few monotypes from this week’s workshop at MISSA

Well, I guess the short version of the blog is “I got sick and did nothing all week other than cough and complain.” But that’s not quite true, of course. I came down with flu-like symptoms on Sunday afternoon which got worse through Monday. Tuesday I woke about 30%...
Three small finished canvases
Well, they’ll be finished once all the acrylic gel medium slowly dries clear in a week or so… but that’s nothing to do with me. I think I forgot to post a couple other small ones I finished this week, but whatever…...
A couple dozen drawings of vintage perfume bottles
All done with acrylic ink this morning, for use in future mixed media works....
The Stones Match the Hair #2
Companion piece to the first one. This one is as follows: acrylic on canvas, ribbon, embroidery thread, acrylic rhinestones, glass beads, ink on paper, an old thrift store rhinestone earring (I was gonna just wear them, except the little prongs on all the rhinestones kept snagging my hair), perle...
The Stones Match the Hair #1
ie, both are fake… Finished up the first of my little 6×6″ mixed media canvases today, got another 7 clogging up my desk. All have acrylic painted backgrounds and appliquéd ribbon, some also have rhinestones or beads sewn on. Next is to do some small drawings and sew them...
