I have been able to stick to my new years resolution and sketch a little bit each day. I draw with my morning coffee, and I can see the work evolving. It's hard to find the time but it is sure worthwhile.

 I remember Bill Reid used to call a pencil a "thinking machine."

I so glad to see the story of the Native Residential schools  is being carried in the media. That has been Canada's dirty little secret for too long.

Do you remember when you first fell in love, and someone bought you a gift like this Wolf bracelet?
