Watch my life unravel...
|
I haven’t blogged for a few days, so this is just going to be a little catch-up post. Here are some of the things I’ve been doing lately: Reading. A lot. I’ve been a little scattered on the reading front for the past year or two, since I always had half a dozen books on the go, […] We went to Everybody’s Art Show at Irene’s Pub last night. I love the all-inclusive concept: everybody is invited to create and donate art for this event. Everybody! So for weeks ahead of time, artists and non-artists alike are busy making art for the main event, which is a silent auction. Most, but not all, of […] Wooden cut-out art for children in the back room of the CUBE Gallery GC and I went to my favourite art show of the year yesterday: Great Big Smalls, at the Cube Gallery. It’s amazing how much little wee art can be packed in there. We actually went during the day, hours before the vernissage, because […] Here are a couple of yummy little tidbits of upcoming fun. Burlesque Life Drawing Comes to Ottawa! Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School is the little New York […] Sometimes I like to do art on the living room floor instead of in my art room.

It was a do-over breakfast since our previous attempt to get together was thwarted by XUP’s child’s delicate bones. During the course of breakfast, XUP inquired as to whether GC and I have stopped doing things, since I apparently have not […] My back was feeling quite a bit better today so I took a half-price bus to work. (What’s up with the bus fares anyway? Some days it’s free, some days it’s half price, some days City Council votes to vote again tomorrow on whether or not to change their minds again. It’s confusing.) The highlight of […] 1. You don’t have to be able to draw. 2. In fact, you don’t need any artistic talent, although it would probably come in handy. 3. You just keep throwing stuff at the canvas until a happy accident happens, which it inevitably will. 4. You use other stuff to cover up the parts you don’t like, because layering […] The silent art auction was a blast. We ate, drank, socialized, and we got some phenomenally good deals on art too, since the blizzard and bus strike kept a lot of people home.
