Always Raining On Me

Always Raining On Me

Well, we DO live in Vancouver …

Sending My Love via Air Mail

Sending My Love via Air Mail

A fun day creating with Jade.

We cut some great old printed material and added doodle lines.

I’m always a sucker for stamps and cancellation artwork.

Still Jumping Moons

Some cows will never change …

Another fun drawing with Jade.

And The Cow Jumped Over The Moon

The Cow Jumped Over The Moon

Hey Diddle Diddle !

… the little Jade laughed to hear such sport …

Jade and I really love listening to nursery rhymes together.

This nonsensical ditty might be our favourite.

Sleeping Lines Doodling To Dreamland

Dreamy Doodle

 

This is an old image Jade and I created together.

Sometimes, we like to make random marks and see what happens.

The lines are drifting off to sleep … going  to dreamland.

The Mesmerizing Northern Lights

Northern Lights

A hint of Arctic air.

It was chilly in Vancouver today.

I was telling Jade about the beauty of the Northern Lights.

I grew up in the Canadian prairies and we’d see them often.

The Northern Lights dance, glow and shimmer across the dark sky.

The Canadian winter brings many moments of creative beauty.

Yesterday, during a family walk, I photographed some ice.

Always appreciate the simple beauty around you.

The “I Love You” Sheep

Jade's Cool Doodle

Jade named and drew this fun doodle.

This guy lives in the city and likes to make toys.

He likes to eat purple and pink jelly beans.

The Eleven Monsters Of Christmas

11 Monsters of Christmas

Originally, we had 12 monsters but ‘Big Blue Bear’ ate the smallest one.

My wife drew these fun monsters and Jade named them.

Drawing with Icing + Candy

Gingerbread House

I think our family has a new Christmas tradition!

Jade and I hammered on the icing and candy. Yum!!!

Our drawings have never tasted sooooo good !!!

The image is a visual response to an engaging post:

The Animated GIF: The Antithesis of Mindfulness

Personally, I love rich visual imagery … It’s the way I think and communicate.

For me, the best Art has ambiguity. I like having the time and silence to appreciate and question.

But now, EVERYDAY feels like an animated gif. The average person is exposed to 3,500 advertising messages a day. We devour images, resources and ideas.

And along the way, maybe we’re debasing and dehumanizing ourselves?
