new friends

These are my new fish. they are figure 8 puffers {tetraodon biocellatus} they are brackish water puffers. just babies now pretty much, theyre about an inch long {i have 5 in a 20 gallon tank} but they'll grow to about 3-4" within about a year.

they're eating a bloodworm cube here. as you can see they get very fat when they eat and must be watched that they don't get over fed. they also eat snails and shrimp and other small crustations and have to eat these shelled animals to keep their beaks filled down.

they have so much personality and charm. charisma might be the word to use.



the sound might be really really bad, its a video from a small coolpix. appologies

return of the mighty salmon

I had to paint another salmon. the last one was way too small. the one on the 'delicatessen' peice. this one was alot more fun. i painted over a canvas that had 2 prior "false-starts" underneath. it made the canvas very smooth almost no grain anymore. i might try some paintings on wood in the future. seems like it might be a good change of pace from working on canvas, i could cut out peices as well and shape the wood.

will be up with another painting in the UNLOAD groupshow @ La petite mort gallery in ottawa

biciclette

just finished this one today, it took a lot longer than i'd originally thought it would. the wheels were very time consuming. im already working on another right now, redesigning the bike a bit and making improvements. i thought this unusual spoke layout would look better than it does, i thought that the colour changes would sell it better but i see now that it looks a bit lazy, either way its the bike i designed and im sure that it it were ever built it would look great . its based on an old bianchi my dad has from the 70's. i love that colour they used for those bikes, i tried my best. notice i kept the gears on my bike heheh, no trendy "Fixies" 'round here.

i have been away from this blog for way to long i have not abandoned it , i am here working away.

these two are the newest canvases ive done, i have other work on different surface coming soon as well. i've been trying to push myself now, calling myself out "is that the best i can do? or is it me copping out?" most of the time i can go back in and make it better but i still like that "first-try-awkwardness" that you get when youre either really loose or really off that day , or maybe that's just me.

i got to use a big fancy digital slr to shoot these pictures, it makes so much more of a difference that i can't believe it.

This was fun i did it while i was on the phone, i don't really know what else to say about it. its kind of one of those things where either you get me or you don't. the paper is from google and i "computered" it.


This one will be up at norml clothing in ottawa for roughly the next month. 12"x12" acrylic on canvas "stuck". beASTON 2008
this guy will be joining his friend above there at noml. 18"x24" acrylic on canvas "this fair maid gives me a nosebleed".

day-job-work has taken alot of the jam out of my doughnut if you know what i mean. these two plus a few more little watercolours are the only ones ive done recently, well theres one more little thing that i'll post soon. but ive had a heck of a time trying to get some work done.

three old ladies are sitting on a bench in the park. suddenly, a man in a long trenchcoat and dark glasses runs in front of them and tears open his jacket. two of the old ladies have a stroke. the third one wouldn't touch it.

i'm in the kind of mood today where i want to se someone i don't like poop their pants in front of someone they look up to. hahahahha.their idol, or someone they have a crush on. poopy pants broken hearts, and enough tears to drown a cute kitten.
