Summer 1970

 

 This is a photograph of me and my brother Andrew that I came across today. It was taken in 1970 somewhere in northern Ontario. With winter closing in, it seems as good a time as any to be remembering summer, even a summer 41 years ago. This looks like a Hipstamatic shot but it is the real deal! I wonder what we are looking at? A UFO?

Now this is one of my favorite childhood photos because it includes our dog Charlie. Charlie had epilepsy but it never slowed him down. One of the sweetest dogs I've known. In his own way he prepared me to understand my friend Al's epilepsy later in life. Dogs can teach us so much.


Tonight I posted a bunch of prints up on the Radiolaria Studios Esty site. Check them out if you have some blank wall space!

My art was mentioned on some very cool blogs this week. Check out SheWalksSoftly and L'Autre Magazine where fashion designer Flik Hall gave me an awesome shout out. Check out Flik Hall's octopus designs. I was blown away and you will be too. There was also a great mention on the Coilhouse blog tonight. Coilhouse is one of my favorite destinations online.
