    A little girl hung out with me while I was drawing at the Museum of Anthropology today. She was very curious about my pencils (“Do you have to sharpen them?”) and my process (“Are you erasing AGAIN?”) Her mom said she loves to draw. I hope she doesn’t grow out of it.

    RAVEN (and the First Men)

    How do you do justice to Bill Reid’s Raven and the First Men? You can’t. But you can try. The Museum of Anthropology is easily hands down my favourite museum in Vancouver. If you’re ever in town, don’t miss it! (Local? Get yourself an annual pass — it pays for itself with just two visits.)

    From my latest adventures in re-discovering traditional media… Mechanical pencils! Remember those? It’s been way, way too long for me. They used to be my go-to for animation clean-ups in college.

    Testing out Clip Studio Paint’s animation features! I’m loving the brushes and the paper-esque rationale behind the workflow of the folder system (I feel like I’m working at my animation disk again!), all while having access to the convenience of digital help and shortcuts. Composited in Affinity, which I know is not a smart thing…

    SEASON’S GREETINGS!

    “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.”– John Muir Oh, we are SO back. After last year’s hiatus, I managed to find both the time and energy to make an un-christmassy-christmas card! What is an un-christmassy-christmas card, you ask? In the best of years, it’s not unlike a Sufjan Stevens holiday song. A little…
