My One and Only...


Hope you are having as fine a summer as we are here in Vangroovy. The weather has been PERFECTION. Which I think is also a pretty good excuse to be lagging behind on my blog posts, don't you? ;-D

Just wanted you to know that I will be at Viva Vancouver this Saturday on Robson and Granville St.

It runs from 12-5 PM and I shall be in the Blim Market area.

Here is the FB Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/639954192687988/

I will have some new work from California, Mexico and Hawaii in the form of prints, jewelry and wood blocks! New WB sizes debuting are: 12x12 and 12x16. 

12"x12" 
Pacific Ocean, North Shore, Oahu

12"x16" 
Ohope Beach, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

Along with many other new images, this Shark Teardrop Necklace (comes in cuff links, earrings and as a ring too) will be making its debut in blue (previously avail only in green).

For every Shark necklace that sells, I will be donating $5 to Fin Free, an organization helping to end the mass slaughter of sharks for shark fin soup and ensure their continued existence. 

Blacktip Reef Shark, Hawaii

Will have these too:

6"x8"Marilyn Monroe Statue, Palm Springs, CA

6"x6"North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii

And here are a few images I am transferring as I write this:

Kits Beach, Vancouver, BC
Waikiki, Hawaii

In other news...I am now working from 1000 Parker St. If you've seen past posts you know that it was getting a wee tad crowded in my apt. and high time to separate work and home by getting my own studio! Pics to come:)

I leave you with one of my favourite excerpts from Moby Dick (one I couldn't fit on a wood block):


“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off — then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.” 

Happy rest of the summer! xo
