I’ve said it before, and I’ll definitely say it again after this post… but throughout human history creativity has often been thought of by the masses as a gift from another world, not something that comes from the brain and which can be developed and cultivated. I bet you thought I was making a reference…
Now that the chocolate withdrawal has begun to rear it’s ugly head, I thought this was a good time to take some time and discuss the Easter tradition, as it relates to art. It is Timely Thursday after all, dear readers. Whether you are gung ho for Easter or not, it is a commonplace event…
Now here’s a little story I’ve got to tell, about an artist blogger you know so well. It started way back in history, with a museum, a guard, and NYC – you see? And that dear readers, is how you make a transitional joke from one post into the next one. Please see previous post for reference if you…

As is the fashion with Timely Thursdays, dear readers, today is going to be a shorter post. This might be a little selfish on my part, but the reason I’m doing this is because I’m watching The Offspring and guests perform live at The Shaw Conference Centre this evening. In fact, while you are reading this post,…
You know what one thing I hate more than so many other things in the world is? The boring-ass menial labour involved in executing administration, no matter WHAT kind I am tackling and how it relates to my life. Now hate is a strong word, and I generally don’t subscribe to hate in other areas of my life, because…
The financial crisis of 2007-2008 was no laughing matter. A lot of people lost their jobs, homes, and hope because of the short-sided greed of those in much higher positions of wealth. It threatened the potential collapse of the largest financial banks, which some feared would send us into a new dark ages, and was…
