As of yesterday I opted to try a little mobile blogging experiment. The whole typing little mobile blog posts got old after one or two entries and I was left feeling underwhelmed by the desire to patter out micro-statements for that instant-post gratification. In fact it seemed I was posting for the sake [...]

I was p’lunkering on my short story efforts the other week and I thought to myself that the text in question would translate very well into a graphic format. I’m note sure; Is there something between “graphic novel” and “comic book?” It’s not a particularly funny story, so “comic” is not appropriate. I’ve been [...]

Ah, another weekend in September gone and time for an update on the progress of summer projects. It has been, yes, a busy, busy summer. For those who read this regularly, it’s probably common knowledge that we’ve kept ourselves busy with little projects around the house. I reported earlier that the deck [...]

Some people know that I’m a real sucker for animation. I should have done that for serious, gone to art school, learned to draw, and then sketched out little animated movies. It would have been more real.
I’m not talking about every bit of animation. It all has it’s place. But there [...]

I was standing in line at the hardware store this morning, yet another pail of paint in my hand, and I got to thinking just how many projects I seem to have on the go at the moment:
1) There are still a few fence boards to tack on before winter arrives. I’m like 99% done. [...]

Because it’s how I spent my morning and my evening… paint:

These shots were taken after the morning session. I spent a couple hours filling in oranges, teals, and blues. Later, I picked up the brush once again and filled in another lot of the empty spaces, double coated the yellows, and did some [...]

Other than feeling obliged to write “every day” I’ve not much to say today… I was home for the afternoon and continued to paint on the mural. I should have some more progress done this weekend — not much else going on.
Remember to vote on the side of the page: boy or girl.

Thanks to some cooler temperatures — as well as a few blocks of free time — I finally got a bit of work done on the baby room mural. The caveat to the photo below is simply this: It’s very much a work in progress. When it is done it should look awesome. [...]

I took the opportunity of a lazy Sunday afternoon to test out the airbrush I bought. Unfortunately I don’t think the rate of paint delivery will be up to the task of painting fifty square feet of Lorax-Mural. The paint flows (while somewhat sporadically) at a steady dusting of color that would be [...]

While in Red Deer this weekend we picked up some great paint in our selected colours, as per the plan for the nursery. That the priming was already done helped, and we quickly tacked up a tape-line for the divider. I set to work last night, and managed to get both coats in [...]

… another project.
We commenced the countdown to baby-time officially this weekend by removing the computer and stuff from the office and beginning the purge of the room that will eventually become the nursery. Simply cleaning and sorting through the accumulated junk from our old “work space” is going to take some serious time, [...]

There is a cascade of creativity. It becomes somewhat katamari in nature. A seed. A thought. Transcending. Growing. Picking up refuse along the way.
My little writing project has been going exceedingly well. I crossed the thirty-thousand word mark on the weekend. It’s still modular, bohemian gibberish, but the [...]
