    SNFU are coming east, with Sept 18 and 19 in Toronto, and a handful of other dates in Ontario and Quebec. Sounds like a good excuse for a two-day trip to Toronto… looking at ticket prices now…

    US Customs is confusing… so, I decided to ask them a question on their convenient FAQ system. Sadly, nobody seems to have asked this sort of question on the site yet… so As a Canadian citizen, I have been invited to attend and sell my artistic works in a show in the US. How do [...]

    What’s this place worth?

    I received an unsolicited offer today for the foo.ca domain name. I’m surprised I don’t get them more often, being a three letter word that has a real (albeit niche) meaning. Yes it’s a .ca address, but there’s nothing wrong with being Canadian, unless you listen to those bigoted .com types. Just try to find [...]

    Art as Commodity

    by  • 7/22/2008 • art, life • 0 Comments

    I don’t think that there is anything transcendental in my painting; well, not for the viewer, at least. If it’s pleasing to the eye, the mind, or on some other level (I haven’t heard them make any sounds…), then that’s all that’s meant to be. I just make the things to make them, and the [...]

    I’ve been doing an hour here, an hour there. Between doing some web updates and tinkering with the logo-fish (well, sea horse) for Binarysoul, and between thinking of making robot buttons and scanning old photos in… It’s been a busy day. Here’s a brief glance into the current state of the latest little custom project; [...]

    Evolution of a series of paintings – II

    by  • 7/17/2008 • art • 0 Comments

    The first layer of paint goes in for the background; “Mars Yellow” which is something like an orange toned iron oxide red. Good for a first layer. With these, I’m likely going to put the second layer down as a titanium buff / naples yellow for a more cream coloured base with hints of earthy [...]
