One of Toronto's most magical nights. My friends and I were living in a squat downtown; rumour was that a Terror attack had knocked out the Eastern power grid. We collected wood pallets from alleyways and cooked all the food in the fridge on a big bonfire. You could see the stars that night!

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you.

your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.
