Public Transit - Blog Posts
Free will is a miraculous thing
Not in the christian way
But rather “I just remembered that i can take an edible and a bus into a coastal beach town to eat cheetos and watch the sunset”
this image is a pretty good representation of public transit in the us. this is in the largest city in the state and the destination is only 10 miles away
I hate such a love-hate relationship with public transit

Finch West Station # 1, 11" x 14" Oil on Wood. Toronto Canada subway station.
The sign over the platform with the three primary colour shapes were purposely abstracted and added to the painting. I often add small details to a lot of my paintings with things that interest me. The primary colours are meant to show how to further simplify a concept down to a simplified colour palette.
Painting is available.

Early this year one of my artworks was purchased for the Google Canada Library Project to be used for projects and presentations in Canada while including Canada based artists.
Here it is at the Google office in Toronto Canada. One of the most exciting thing that has happened to me this year. :D

A little late with these since the show is over but here is my booth at the Toronto Outdoor Art fair. The show was incredible as always, even with the really hot weather. Had a few hiccups with things outside of the show , commute between home and the show was 2.5 hours instead of 40 mins due to transit delays and cancelations but thankfully I had a few people give me a ride to the show. :D
Second day Toronto's Union Station got evacuated due to a nearby shooting so trains (how I get home) were delayed a few hours lol getting home at 1am for a 6am wake up.
Anyways that was all the venting that I have. Like I said the show itself ran perfectly fine! I have a few of these left - the framed studies will be up on my Esty shop in a few days but if you want to see the available paintings check out my portfolio and email me. :)

Second chalkboard illustration study and line work. This work is a set of chalkboards that are being done at my artist residency at the drake hotel in toronto canada while living in their Artist Loft which is quite nice, in the second photo I am taking advantage of the second floor to get an arial photo of the piece.
The board is about 5 feet x 3.5ish....cant remember the exact size :P

Progress pics of some of my work at the artist in residence at the drake hotel Artist Loft in Toronto Canada. 😁🎉
The study sketches and preliminary line work down on the chalkboard. Having fun with chalk as a medium, a little messy and hard to control but it should have interesting results.
Haven't worked with chalk before so when I was presented with the opportunity I thought it would be a fun challenge and a way to go outside of the medium that I'm comfortable with.

Mount Pleasant #2 2017 Oil on wood. 16" x 20" An early piece of Mount Pleasant station in Ontario Canada. The painting shows the early morning during winter. The station stop is heated during the winter which turns the interior of the stop red.
The set of photos taken of Mount pleasant were taken during the same time period either early morning or late night while I was working overnights and painting during the day (I don't recommend it).
