Sunny Saskatoon


Just a quick note to say that I have arrived. Great first impressions. I really like the feel of the city, the University and my program! Miss K has been an incredible moral support and I think she likes it here too. We stumbled into a football game last night. Saw a giant inflatable husky. It feels good to finally slow down and be in one place for awhile. Now I need to get winter boots.

In the Press



There has been some lovely mentionings in the press. I am attaching a couple of them here. Thank you Crissy for finding the VLM piece and Jeffrey for letting me know about this fantastic blog mention.

Update

I just got back to Vancouver and picked up the September edition of Flare magazine, where there is a great mention by Elio Iannacci. Thank you!

Sofia


I have not been blogging for awhile now not because of the lack of internet connection but simply because I had to get settled, then I had a lovely visitor (Miss K), and now I am alone in Sofia waiting for my uncle to come back from vacation in Turkey. I am staying at my dad's studio, a six floor walk up, atop the chestnut trees on our street. It feels quiet here, the dizzing pace of Sofia forgotten, only the heat and blazing sun coming thru the open windows. I made art here this morning, painted small watercolours for a wedding present. I can see myself living here one day. Hidden in a tree house. Will post more photos soon, now I am off walking around Sofia and researching printers.
