My studio in Lewistown, Montana in July. (Just kidding. It's April.) This 24 x 54 ft structure was originally built as a neighborhood grocery store. It's been my studio since I purchased it (and the vacant lot next to it) in 2004.

"And my middle name is Mischief!"
Canuck
Departed but still "present"
BELOW: Original lithograph initially posted Jan. 27, 2009 with update on Dec 5.
This is a detail from a lithograph I created when I was a student at the (then) Alberta College of Art. The title derives from the Egyptian hieroglyphics I incorporated into the composition. Also, the cat is drawn with a definite dividing line down the middle of its face so that if only the dark side is focused on, it gives the profile of a mummified cat (and the dashed white lines across the body below the neck suggest cloth wrappings.) The "model" is my little furry black buddy, Canuck. I say that in the present tense because Canuck is still very much alive and present; she's about 23 or 24 years old now but still very active and a great companion. UPDATE: DECEMBER 5TH, 2009 Canuck, my little black buddy for nearly 25 years, crossed over to the other side. It was a privilege to have known her all those years and her conversation will be missed. She was a talkative cat with a very large vocabulary of distinct sounds (way more than the ordinary meow.) All cats have their secret opinions, but Canuck voiced her's. She is missed very much.
