I shot a couple of videos at the Vancouver Aquarium. As you can see, I especially love the jellyfish ...



Here are some photographs from a previous trip to the Vancouver Aquarium in 2005.

What a wonderful start to the New Year!

We travelled as a family to Vancouver, it was an adventure to say the least! I will post some pictures from the exhibits at the Vancouver Art Gallery in an upcoming post ...

Here are some photographs we snapped along our journey through Vancouver, I believe we walked the entirety of downtown Vancouver ... even the scary parts!





Plus an article I wrote is being published in UPPERCASE magazine ... Issue #8! Available to read this February ... you can purchase the magazine and back issues, or get a subscription here.

Some pictures I took around the house today....








Riu Tenreiro's illustrations for the book The Celebration are amazing! I love the simple colour scheme, his quirky style and the story board look of the book.

I also really like the the simple illustrative style and limited colour use of Brandon A. Dalmer's work.

I think public art should have presence in the space it's occupying, and for me public art is most effective when it changes the way people react to it, for example the way they move around a sculpture and how it impacts their emotions and sense of space. I think the sculptures of Richard Serra are an excellent example of how public sculpture can alter a person's perception of space. This video shows the installation of Serra's sculpture garden at the MOMA. The shear size of his work is incredible. It is amazing how he challenges a person's perception of space with such simple concave and convex bends in shapes.

My favourite public art space is the Stravinsky Fountain at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Mayle is my newest favourite fashion. I love the Fall 2007 collection. It is all about layering boxy shapes and legs!

Here is something I drew, dreaming of the west coast....

I love how everything looks lit by fluorescent lights.

I just returned home from an impromptu visit to Vancouver, and here are my two days in snapshots...





Below are some pictures I took at the Vancouver Aquarium...

I bought a couple magazines for the plane ride home, and when I was looking through Metropolitan Home magazine, I came across some pictures of Todd Oldham's weekend home. The home is amazing! Two artists whose works grace his walls are Charley Harper and Megan Whitmarsh. Harper's prints are mostly of wildlife and I really love his bird prints. Whitmarsh's small drawings are so unusual and playful!
