Merry Christmas!

Yes please!

He's Watching You

I recently came across a striking painting, which sits atop a friends mantelpiece. He inherited it after his grandfather passed away. He had always been fond of it growing up and recalled the way the Captains' eyes seemed to follow you across the room, which they really do! His gaze is captivating when you stand face to face with it. I'm not yet sure who this painting was made by or who this watchful Captain is, but seeing as this friends family is from the East Coast I imagine that this is the Captain of a Fishing boat, pushing along against the raging sea. The rest of the story I do not yet know.

Holiday (w)Rapping Yo!

Can I just get a job wrapping gifts all year?! 

When it comes to Holiday shopping I am like a Black Ops agent on a strict and focused mission: in and out as fast as possible! But the wrapping, that's a different story. I can spend hours wrapping! I thoroughly enjoy it!

The beginning of making wood panelled Christmas ornaments, of course!

The Weeknd

The Weeknd - Wicked Games

Support local talent! And when I say talent, I mean talent!

I've really been feeling The Weeknd's music lately, and when I found out that The Weeknd, or Abel Tesfaye, is not only Canadian, but reps the Toronto/Scarborough area I flipped, and had to buy The Trilogy, which is hands down the best CD compilation I've listened to in a long while!

Susanne Sundfor - White Foxes

I'm in love with this song White Foxes by Susanne Sundfor. 

Leave it to the Norwegians to do it so well!

Wood Panel That Shit!

Just a couple photos of my 2012 zine Wood Panel That Shit! that I found floating around on the internet, on The Design Craft Lab Blog and The Carl Wagan Tumblr. This zine can be found in the permanent collection at the OCAD University Zine Library, and inside the Carl Wagan. 

For more information on the Carl Wagan and to find out when it might be visiting an exhibition near you check it out on The Carl Wagan Blog.
