Well I must say that trying to be creative whole social distancing and working from home with a 4.5 year old has proven to be very difficult. It takes a lot of energy and time to plan and fill his days with positivity and to lessen the feeling of having no peers to play with.Continue reading “The games cupboard … WIP”

The Power of Greyskull!
Late last night I was able to complete He-man & Battle-Cat. My little brother was a serious fan of He-man. I clearly remember him wheeling his giant plastic sword around inciting the power of greyskull. Having a 4 year old around re enacting similar scenes shakes of the cobwebs off of old memories and theyContinue reading “The Power of Greyskull!”
Green Army Men
I don’t know if you can get more classic than the green army men. These gentlemen have been on my to do list for awhile, so when the season of sickness past they were the first to hit the canvas. The green army man has probably seen more than his share of battles, more thanContinue reading “Green Army Men”
Hot Hot Wheels
The skinny bright orange 1980’s hot wheels track lined the hallway of childhood. Those cars and that track were definitely a long time favourite of my little brothers. It had a loop’d’loop for pete’s sake, who could blame them. I find hot wheels strewn one again in my hallways bringing brum-brum sounds and inevitably aContinue reading “Hot Hot Wheels”
New year, new medium
If you have seen my other social media accounts you will have seen the newest pieces of mine have been drawn in pencil crayon. You would also have seen the addition of candy to my subject matter. I am nothing but inspired by these things. The ‘mom of two year old’ factor plays well intoContinue reading “New year, new medium”
Optimus Prime, more than meets the eye!
Transformers, I clearly remember the Autobots from Cybertrom (semi trucks that turned into fighting robots for those not in the know). How could you not remember something as cool as that. At the helm if the good guys, Optimus Prime the ultimate hero taking on the Decepticons. This piece is the forth larger work IContinue reading “Optimus Prime, more than meets the eye!”
The View Master, the first virtual reality toy
I love this new piece, The View Master. I can clearly remember sliding the little white disks with tiny cells into the slot atop the red View Master, pressing my eager eyes to it revealing a 3D image and the beginning of a story. A toy that many generations have had, and as I recentlyContinue reading “The View Master, the first virtual reality toy”
The vintage toy journey begins with Fisher Price
After the art-walk hangover passed and I got over my tent loss…. yes tent loss. My big tent busted on takedown Saturday. A sad loss indeed, and a bit expensive too. That aside, I couldn't wait to get back to the studio and start painting more of those vintage toys. The response to my firstContinue reading “The vintage toy journey begins with Fisher Price”
