Happy December First!

I have many scoops to share with you today. Firstly, some product shots for the upcoming City of Craft! You will have the chance to see them and caress them at The Theatre Centre on December 10th & 11th, please drop by and say hello!  

Also happening on Saturday, December 10th is a holiday concert, Snow Angel with my Choir Univox. The concert will feature stunning works by local composers Sarah Quartel and Ben Ji-Soo Kim. Quartel's Snow Angel is a beautiful and unique piece that incorporates dramatic narratives between choral music and piano, cello and percussion accompaniment. We are honoured to welcome Samuel Bisson on cello once again this year. We are also incredibly fortunate to perform a carol composed by new Toronto resident Ben Ji-Soo Kim, an accomplished composer who has had works published with Earthworks and premiered by the renowned Los Angeles Master Chorale. The Concert will also include contemporary favourites, Ave Maria - Franz Biebl, A Hymn to the Virgin, and Stroope's All My Heart this Night Rejoices. 

Below is a little advertisement I designed with the Univox board members. 

Lastly, a little tease from a project I'm so thrilled to be a part of with Kid Icarus and many other charming artists. It is a Handprinted Calendar comprised of twelve artists who have been given complete freedom with the only limiting factor of using two colours for their chosen month. It will go on sale on December 4th at Kid Icarus storefront in Kensington Market, but an early copy will be available at Handmade Holiday on December 3rd, St. Stephen-in-the-Fields. There are only 100 copies for sale! 

Canzine 2011

La La is the happiest bunny when I am preparing for a zine fair. During the process, many pieces of paper accidentally fly off of my desk and he darts after them excitedly. Below are some of the goods you'll get to see on Sunday at Canzine {bunny not included, sorry}. 


Location: 918 Bathurst Centre, 918 Bathurst St. Toronto
Date: Sunday, October 23rd
Time: 1 - 7 PM 


Hope to see you there! 

PIN

I created this piece for Gallery Nucleus' Power in Numbers online gallery. All pieces in the sale measures 5"x7" and are priced at $50 or $100. A charitable organization of the artist's choice will receive a portion of the proceeds from each sale. A fraction of my sale will benefit the Red Cross. 

On another exciting note, Canzine is happening this Sunday, October 23rd, from 1PM to 7PM. This year the festival will be held at 918 Bathurst Centre. See below, the event poster by the lovely Hyein, for more details! 

Meanwhile

The 6 x 8 exhibition and sale at the Paper Place will be coming down tomorrow, please go check it out if you haven't had the chance! As I dwell a little longer on the crossbreeding of girl and predator, below is a preview of the next amalgamation.  

Washi Paper

I recently did a little painting on a 6 x 8" piece of Washi paper. It will be displayed alongside many other pieces of beautiful work this Thursday, September 8, at 8:30 PM at The Paper Place. Also on the same night, Carly Waito will be having her solo show opening at Narwhal Art Projects from 7 - 10 PM, which I have been longing to attend! Hope you can make it too!
