It’s here once again… The most wonderful time of the year. Another year almost over and a new one about to begin – A new sales year that is. I see the end of November dear readers, and I get excited. Excited about the prospect of making good buying decisions that will positively impact your personal…
It’s that time again friends! I want to share something with you. Something special – Specifically to remind you that you don’t really need to shape the aesthetics of your art for anyone other than yourself. You know this already, but it’s always a good reminder when someone who is also making art gives you a…
Remembrance Day is an especially trying time for veterans and surviving families of war. They recall the good times and the bad, in particular those members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty. This day has been in place for almost a century now – It was established on November…
You know what they say – if you don’t like what you got, why don’t you change it. If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it. Raise a little hell of your own. That’s been my modus operandi ever since I broke up with my long-term partner in October of 2014. Just over two…

I’ve had the distinction to work in a few areas of the business, but…

Write a post about a festival you’ve never been to they said, it’ll be fun they said. I’d rather be sleeping right now. Let’s get down to business, dear readers. I was tasked with the opportunity to write about Nuit Blanche, which lots of my friends have attended in 2015, but which I have absolutely…
