everything is plans

i'm really just starting to get down to the thick of things.

i'm preparing myself to have no life and trying ever so hard to get my butt out of bed even when i don't have class. i recently just found out that i messed up my classes so now i only have two days of school a week after dropping an extra course that i was taking. this is making it even harder to get my early morning motivation going. but here is what i have been up to anyway. mostly at ten at night in my kitchen.

a life size sketch that i did from memory. a rough set of plans for my thesis. the people are not going to be in the final product. it will be a 5.5 foot tall hospital bed constructed and all covered in fabric. underneath is going to be a toy box, with the pattern printed on fabric and constructed, then filled with hospital things. today i'm planning out the mathematical calculations of the toy box. it's going to be a busy semester.



this section actually turned out to be my favourite of the whole drawing and what made me finish the figures and make it more of a drawing, instead of just a plan for my thesis. it's me and my dad.

here's a little story i remembered from the time in my life while drawing. i just left it on there.


i printed some of the objects i plan to craft on the paper over the toy box so that i could submit this through print for the figure show at ocad. i find out later this week if i get in or not.

also here are some cards and envelopes i printed. fuck me, it's valentines day.

if you want some wicked cards, shirts, bands and to hang out with some wicked printmakers you should come out to the thesis fundraiser at the garrison.

if you miss that we'll also be in the lobby all day friday. rocking the haggard, hangover, awesome look.

Back in Toronto

Hello mysterious internet friends. I suck at all things that require regular updates. Since my last post I moved back from Italy, worked all summer as a camp counselor for 12 five year old boys, and started my thesis year. Needless to say it has been a bit busy.

I'm now approaching the end of my first semester.

One of the coolest, and most time consuming things I did was printing with a steamroller in the parking lot outside my school. It was in conjunction with Toronto's printmaking conference, Printopolis. All the fourth year thesis students picked an established artists image and carved it into lino. We then inked it up outside and printed it with a makeshift bed.

Here is the image Ella Selbie and I worked on. It's by the artist Alexi Vella and called Ribbed for Pleasure. You can see tons more images on the OCAD U Printmaking Website! Other than that I've just been trying to work on my own projects. Most of what I've been doing has been written work but the projects I've done are now up on my website, that I made. Here's a little preview of what's on there.


I will hopefully be updating somewhat regularly again with work on my thesis and other classes.
