ill never wear running shoes

just sittin around going through some older images. above are a couple of digital pinhole explorations i did for a series, the final ended up becoming something rather different but i've always kind of liked these.
my reason for posting these is because I truly believe that no one should ever be ashamed of their artwork, even if it "didnt make the cut". it's still a piece of yourself that at one point in your life you were proud of, so that being said.. don't be ashamed of your sketches that the teacher said was awful or the photographs that lacked conceptual integrity.
WHY NOT JUST LOVE ART FOR BEING ART EVERY NOW AND AGAIN?
if it makes you happy or evokes ANYTHING/SOMETHING out of you or others, then why not accept it for what it is and stop comparing it to the mona lisa.

so cheers to Art and every doodle you have ever done!

5 million year long weekend

No one died or anything, I'm just blown away by how much you can miss someone even if its just one weekend without seeing them.

just a reminder to give an even bigger next time I see you <3

THE COOP INK / TORONTO STAR

This past Thursday I was fortunate enough to make it into the newspaper with a photograph taken while at The Coop ink photographing their incredible space and just so happened to photograph the wonderful people who work and own the space because to me, they were just as important (if not more) than the space I was photographing, ya? you agree, yaaaaa- BELOW IS THE PHOTO and THIS IS A LINK TO THE ARTICLE
