The Dean who didn’t sing with Jan but looks like the Dean that did.

My daily caffeine is most likely to come from J.J. Bean on Granville Island. Recently I have been getting this outrageous flying phoenix on my lattes. The advantage of having students from Emily Carr on the steam wand. Created on demand for me today by David.

Every year I make a trip to Seattle to see the Yankees play the Mariners. Site  of many confrontations. Jeter wasn’t on the field when I was.

It is always great to make new friends. Michelle Bush is the director of the Eastern Edge in St. John’s. I take breaks from our print work at St. Michael’s to pop downstairs and visit with her.

I had an opportunity to visit my first printmaking instructor in Trepassey, NL. We hadn’t been together for nearly twenty years. Warren Peterson also taught me several drawing classes and is a prime influence in my thinking about art and life. He is also a master of the critique. Impossible to know how to thank him but he really made a difference in my life (and many others). How about simply, thank-you, Mister P.

This photo was taken along the harbour in St. John’s, NL where Rhonda and I are starting a month long residency at St. Michael’s Printshop.  I would give her the photo credit but she doesn’t want to take it.

Fred Herzog was the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Emily Carr today. After the convocation ceremony, I took the opportunity to talk with him about photography and his amazing body or work.

Visiting with Angela Grossman before the opening of the  Foundation Exhibition.

This past week at Emily Carr the joint was rocked by yarn bombers.

Look at the wisdom being broadcast on Granville Island in advance of the XXI Olympic Winter Games.  This picture outside the main entrance at work today. It is an important place.
