Away from Feb 12th – 19th

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know that I am out of town from Feb 12th to 19th. Toronto is on the side of shockingly cool right now so it may be a good time to see the side. Well we have sun here but something a little warmer than -500. Ok. It is also not that cold but let’s just say where I am going it is much warmer than here. ;)

I am taking on projects with deadlines after the 19th and will be checking email daily. If you are needing me to work on something then do let me know and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Here is another one of several sketches from a book/menu I (borrowed), which “will” find it’s way back there one day.

Making it’s way back to a quiet little cafe in Berlin

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Back in the summer I spent some time in and around Warsaw Poland. On one of the weekends a friend and myself took the train to Berlin and on one of my last days there we stopped at this great little coffee shops, where, one of the great little menus found it’s way into my bag. Ok. I normally don’t lift things from people or businesses without paying for them, but this menu is a great little book.

My first thought was to bring it back to Canada and throw some blank paper into it and use it as a sketchbook, but the more I looked at it the more I felt compelled to just start drawing on the pages as they are.

When the pages are all filled with ink and color I plan to send the book back to the cafe with my sincerest apologies.

The drawings themselves will obviously be the ones with the german text on them.

Be well.
