Best Health illustration
Posted on | November 4, 2011 | 6 Comments
I have an illustration in this month’s Best Health magazine. It’s an article about what not to feed your pet.
… my kitty, as you can see, found it very interesting!
Happy weekend!
4 years later…

4 years ago yesterday we arrived on Prince Edward Island, fresh from the big city of Vancouver, and started the journey of making this place our home.
So much has happened over these years, but the biggest thing for me is just how much this does feels like home now. We have many, many wonderful people in our lives. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
When we first moved here people were always asking us how we were liking it here, we always answered we felt like we won the lottery by getting to live here. 4 years later… I still feel the same way.
happy halloween!

I have a confession… I’m not a big fan of Halloween (why does it have to be so scary?). I’ve never really understood it. It seems like a lot of fuss (a.k.a work) for no reason. Luckily Sosi seems to be just like her mama and has never seemed to care much for it either. She’s been happy to wear and re-wear the same couple of costumes her grandma made her each year.
This year though, maybe inspired by her sister (who would happily live her entire life dressed as a monkey), she seemed keener to dress up. After looking through thrift stores and costume stores we decided to hit the fabric store instead. She instantly fell in love with this super furry white fabric and gave me simple instructions… kitty dress.
All the dread I had over the years about homemade costumes was for nothing. Making this costume was so fun! The fabric was very forgiving (mistakes hidden in the furriness) and we are both couldn’t be happier with the results. I especially love how it turned out to look a little like a girl version of Max from Where the Wild Things Are.
New big portrait

I just finished this custom portrait. It’s another large one, like the one I did back in the summer. The house in the back is the house where the girls were born, in Ottawa. They now live here in P.E.I, which is symbolized by the big tree on the right and the 3 little ones on the right, like on the provincial flag (I wish I could say that it was my idea idea to add this… but it was the mom’s).
While I was painting this Sosi kept asking me while we don’t have a family portrait like this. She has a room full of my paintings that I did when she was a baby, but nothing like this. It might be time to start thinking about making one of our very own.
