About Me

i paint paintings and draw drawings. otherwise: happy, punchy, super sappy, shove-y, smiley, sometimes terribly serious until i realize how ridiculous that is.

My Interests

art history. history history. making art. my family's history. my parents. my brothers. having my mind changed. childish fun and ridiculousness. being alone. being with good people. missing and feeling missed by friends and family. calling dial-a-bottle against better judgement. throwing things. punching, tackling and shoving people as a means of expressing friendship and affection. creating things. imagining things. ignoring logic and living fully. feeling embarrassment from laughing far too loud. missing the maritimes. my heroic friends here in toronto.

I'd like to meet:

expert theremin players, everyone i miss from the places i have lived and visited, my brother, artists i admire. people who want to buy my art.

Movies:

The Long Goodbye (!!!), Groundhog Day, Back to the Future, Little Miss Sunshine

Books:

every night before sleeping. currently: Cloud Splitter by Russell Banks

Heroes:

my family, my friends, people working hard to do what they love

My Blog

Nicole Legault is a hero of mine- You should look at her stuff every day

I had a couple photos by Nicole up on my "profile" but I decided to take them down, due to how wide they were making my page. BUT I wanted to keep her stuff as part of my page so I'm posting them blog...

my thumbs

So I have thumbs that are quite likely different in appearance than your own. They look kind of like toes, small sized "big toes". Typically I get attention for how small my entire hand is, or sometim...

Part three, La Fin

This is me and Nick before getting Greek Nachos from Sneaky Dee's. The smiles look fake because we're preoccupied with waiting for the deliciousness to arrive: When they do finally arrive, it's alw...

Part two...

I went to BC for the first time this Summer. It was an all right time, wasn't crazy about Vancouver but I met some amazing people and it is undeniably pretty there. This is from a lake in Whistler (t...

Photos of the warm part of the year- part one

So after enjoying last night, what I'm sure will be the last beautifully warm night of the year I woke up to cold bitter rain. So now that mild days are over I feel like getting a bit nostalgic about ...

Alice

I never got to know you well enough, Alice. This hits me now as I realize that it is, in fact, too late. My heart breaks. Your mind is leaving you now and I live so far away. I know you through t...

Lawrence

The excitment of a new car brought him into his 77th year. Dipping under a hundred pounds due to cancer of the stomach, he, always thought the strongest man in the world, grew terribly weak. It was a...

Keith

"fuck you and the horse you rode in on." Such a strange phrase to come into mind when I think of such a kind man. He died just past middle age in the arms of his youngest daughter. I was too young to...
