Too. Much. Snow.
Truly.
It could stop anytime now and I wouldn’t be sorry.
Really, I wouldn’t.

New Year’s Revelations
Wow. Have I been remiss or what?
I’m playing the “Snow Week” card; some folk I know took the week off work because of the crazy-ass snow we’ve had piled on us.
If they can use that excuse, well so can I.
At least for one week.
Any longer than that and my internal You Are A Bad Person For Being So Neglectful gauge goes off the chart.
For the first post of the year, I’d like to share my New Year’s Revelations.

Dogs Days of Christmas
In an attempt to rectify my unseasonal seasonal mood, Elvis – my 8 year old staffy-pitty pound puppy – has rewritten some well-known Christmas carols.
Tonight’s carol is his take on Good King Wenceslas.

I was happy to find my marbling demo pieces from last Sunday’s workshop at the Burnaby Art Gallery when I was in to teach the second and final week of the bookmaking workshop. Here’s sumpin’ pretty for y’all to look at…

Bring It On, Fat Man
I am feeling feisty and furious about Christmas this year.
At any moment I fear I could snap and slap Santa silly like Sam Spade slaps Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon.

Survived the marbling workshops – if I get to collect my demo’s next week, I’ll scan a few to share. There were a couple pulls that I was really pleased with.
This week, I have hour number 5 of the 24 Hour Dog Toy Sweatshop Marathon to share with you.

Teacher, Teacher Can You Teach Me
A weekend of teaching…much needed, financially.
Tomorrow should be interesting. I’m stepping in as a sub for an instructor. Yours truly will be teaching pre and mid-schoolers the fine art of marbling paper.

Screenplay Thursday #11
If the bike represents Paul, and Newton is the one who enables Paul to move forward, then Newton must be a wheel. I began to wonder what would happen if Paul’s metaphorical “wheel” (Newton) also disappeared?
All Work and No Play
Well, we know what that makes Jody, don’t we?
Today I took a few studio hours and just let myself play with a new piece.
This is what I got:

Ask the Artist #4
Q: Your work usually has violent/morbid overtones, with nasty things always about to happen or having just happened, but it’s all self-referential…what have you got against yourself? Or is this some form of reverse voodoo? Or does somebody need a hug? (stereotype of the artist as depressive/self destructive, angst ridden loner…is this why you work in multiples? So you are not alone?)

Show & Tell #26
I was never one for collecting stuffed animals when I was a wee girl. Oh, sure, I had a few, but not mountains of them like some of my friends did. Now that I am a “mommy”, and have a [hairy] child of my own, I spend quite a bit of time perusing the stuffie bin at our local Salvation Army Thrift Store. Every once in a while I will find something that is just too precious to hand over to Elvis.
