Jump in the mud, get your hands dirty

Mon Nov 10, 2008, 5:51 AM
Well, it's post-facebook apocolypse for me. I am hoping to spend more time at places like deviantart and blogspot, where my creative self can REALLY shine, rather than ...well.. you know what it's like. Facebook just wasn't a place conducive to progressive things for me.
We are on the cusp of a brand new year! I am excited about the Christmas season and what lies ahead. 2008 started out quite sad (there was a tragedy in my small city... a bus accident... it was very sobering... it affected everyone, including me. You don't have to be related or very close to feel the impact...) An amazing, and extremely beautiful person who was my kids music teacher perished in the accident. This was very difficult for all of us... I know it will be hard come January, but I think by the spring the city's morale will be better again. Time heals, or so they say. No one will ever forget. All we have is the ability to remember the good things... the happy times... and to always live life at it's best and brightest... everyday.

2008 brought good things to my professional career (and personal life too), however. I've accomplished a lot. Right now I'm half-way through my second animation. If you'd like to know where you can find the first animation, visit here:

My first film has been screened at over 20 festivals now, including one for National Geographic. It was really exciting to know that art can reach that far and that people are watching and absorbing your visions at a global level. My world is global. It's universal! So it makes sense to me. All I have to do is keep creating and growing with my family.
I love life!!
x's and o's and a shot of positivity to you!!

I love all of your artwork! It's so pretty, and I just noticed something... That one of them is about the Mi'gmaq poppy. I'm Mi'gmaq!

Back from animaritimes -it was really fascinating... we all had a great time. I told my kids I was proud of them for finding their way to such nice people. We'll be back next year!

What is this space REALLY for? I keep opening new doors, that lead to...new doors...when will I get to the last door? Or will I just end up falling through a fake door under the really nice antique rug before me? Who knows.
