Life Drawing: Etienne

Some life drawings of model Etienne at The Cotton Factory; 

he's a fantastic model.

The Hamilton Spectator did a nice little article on him, here.

Recently finished a short film I've been working on (off and on) over the last number of years; between story contracts, before a baby came, after the baby came, etc. 

The words of the band Bright Eyes' song 'First Day of My Life' have echoed throughout this process: 

'Yeah these things take forever/ I especially am slow/...but I'd rather be working for a paycheque/ than trying to win the lottery.' 

So the film is finished, and I hope it speaks to your heart. It's been a good film to work on. 

You can watch it on Vimeo here.

A sketch (of me, haha, by my husband in the top leftish corner), and a sketch of him at bottom right, as well as some drawings of pedestrians and a drug deal around Gore Park.

Sketches of Jeff, the cat, the cactus, and a snake and crayfish we saw on a Kilarney camping trip.
