Away from town yesterday and today. Went "snowboarding", which turned into 15 seconds of snowboarding, 1 hour of offroad driving, and 1.5 hours of digging the truck out of a ditch. Let this be a lesson to you all: If you're ever pulling someone behind a truck on a snowboard, watch the road, not the snowboarder.
Finally settled into a space where I can work. Finally getting back onto my own film. Finally doing more paintings and other random art, taking care of a dog, going for snowy forest walks.
As far as I'm concerned, Winnipeg is the best place in Canada to buy outdoor gear (cheap Canada Goose jackets!) and finished leather / fur products (mukluks / mitts / hats). This is where all the fur goes, I think. This is also where all those northern-town mail order products and catalogs (Outdoor Outfitters / Watkins) are based.
Something new for me - painting a pattern (wallpaper). I suspect that i'll be doing it more as time goes on. Really interesting way to denote negative space, by filling it with a repetitive image. That's obvious, I guess, but it's a new and exciting thing for me to play with.
