I haven’t done any physical art in quite some time, and I’m not entirely sure how this is going to turn out. I’m focusing less on the design of this thing (I’m kind of reusing an old design) and more on technique. I’m going to fool around with texture and spray painting techniques. Fingers crossed. Here are some work-in-progress shots, taken with my brand-spankin’ new Canon 60d:

This is a cop-out post, since I haven’t posted in about a month. It contains no substance.

My terrible excuse: I’m having a delicious bowl of soup right now and have been spending much of my time at the gym, outside running, or inside recovering from either of those two activities and consuming food to excess.

I should have posted this bad-ass 1680×1050 wallpaper sooner:
ENDURANCE

Currently listening to the new album from the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s (It’s Blitz!) — I am enjoying it so far.

Ah, the good ol’ days when you could bring razor blades onto airplanes. Shaving + turbulence = bad things.

It is true, I am back in the land of Maple Syrup and Beavers! The flight was long and very bright, but I amused myself with pathetically attempting to sleep and watching (in order): Mars Attacks!, Caddyshack, Kung-Fu Panda, and then miscellaneous portions of other shows. 

It was definitely exciting to come back to land at the Ottawa airport and know exactly where I would be sleeping that night. Nothing beats knowing precisely where and how you are going to get to the place you will be sleeping later that night. Bliss. 

Anyway, here are some of my favourite photos/moments from across the pond:

Buckingham Palace Gate IMG_4608 LOLCAT? Peeing Fountain Wicked Door 100% REAL! Side of Nemo Very Busy Skyline Centrum Dutch Architecture Pudding Lane The Coast. Yeah. It's that Cool.

Yeah, there’s lots. I think I uploaded over 1,250 photos to flickr. Bwhaha.
