If you are in Toronto on Saturday...

Please come around to the Katherine Mulherin Gallery (otherwise known as Board of Directors) at 1080 Queen West. There's going to be an artist market there (from 10am-6pm) (12 artists) and I will be having a stall where I will be selling some of my drawings, brooches, zines and other things .

More info here

Hope to see you Toronto people. There will be cake.

Sneak

Just a little sneak of a drawing I was working on a few weeks ago. It was the biggest drawing I have ever done!

Two Left

Just letting you know...

I only have 2 of my animal portrait prints left in my etsy shop.

This means 2 things.

1. After these two, I will not be making anymore.

2. New/different series of prints very shortly.

Work work work. Stress stress stress. There are people climbing on the icy rooftop and the icicles hanging down on my studio window melted to half their size today.

New Years News

Hello 2009.

Moved into my new place in Toronto... snow everywhere, wooden floorboards, nice cats, lovely kitchen, pretty much my dream home.

Working on a large drawing for a rather exciting/nice project (more on that soon).

Lets see... oh I have just re-stocked at Moose (great online shop run from Perth in Australia) with some more prints (including the last of my animal portrait series!!!!) and this drawing (not a print):

Last thing before I get back to work, I made the most amazing noodle dinner last night (after discovering chinatown in Toronto) and must share it...

Ingredients are:

2 servings of soba noodles

1 cup snow peas

6 sliced shitake mushrooms

4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) (or less if you are not so crazy about garlic as I am)

100 grams tofu cut into small cubes

Sauce:

2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

3 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce

2 teaspoons of maple syrup (well I am in Canada after all)

1/2 a lime

3 spring onions

lots of chopped ginger

Chop very finely the green parts of the spring onions, and leave the white parts aside (cut into bigger pieces) mix all the other sauce things together including the green spring onion parts. Add the tofu to this mixture.

Fry the mushrooms and the rest of the onions. Just before you are finished cooking, add the garlic and cook for a little bit longer. Leave aside to cool.

Now... cook the noodles for about 6 minutes, add the snow peas into the hot water for 2 minutes, then drain and put both into icy cold water. When they are really cold, drain them, and mix all the ingredients together. Now eat them. Yummy.

Oh and one more thing...

Tim recently found a really great radio show called "Radiolab". Lots of fun sciencey things and jokes. Have a listen.

Lines.

Best Friend.

This is the second like "art or whatever"drawing Tim has ever done. I t took me 3 years to draw this well. Jelous. 100 times or something.
