Been working on a real labour of love for the last few weeks,
a zine which illustrates Derek Walcott's Nobel Prize winning book, Omeros.

Acorn Love!
So much acorn love from one of my favourite VIP customers!
Thanks for all the online shout-outs Tina!
Modern Day Art Attack
Hot Chip, Boy From School
Hot Chip has always been known for being wildly artistic as musicians, and equally innovative with their video production. I especially love the video for Boy From School because it holds nostalgic value for me, and countless others of my generation, reminding us of everyone's favourite part of the show, Art Attack! I wonder, was that their source of inspiration?

DIY Ceiling Lampshade
So I have a ton of randomly shaped/sized boxes left over from a previous installation, which are made from Eska board and wrapped in rice paper, and since the paper lantern I had been using as a ceiling shade all these years was starting to look pretty shabby, I decided to use one of the boxes to make a new shade!
I started by using one of my Crayola metallic gel Spider Writer pens to repeat a simple swirl pattern on a piece of frosted Mylar which had been traced to shape. Once the design was completely dry I scored and folded the traced edged inwards towards the designed side. I lined up the Mylar with the inner edge of the box and used an archival PVA glue to adhere it. Tiny eyelets screwed into the upper inside will allow me to suspend the box from the light fixture. And then voila!
Easter Cupcakes
These adorable and wickedly yummy Easter cupcakes made by the talented Sarah Albuquerque, were the bell of the ball at last weekends Easter dinner party! I especially love the all blue Robins egg cupcake!
