I’ve been dreaming since I woke up today. Artist and photographer from Nova Scotia. Loves crows.
A few of my hand painted Christmas cards this year.
Which one is your favourite?

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

“I feel something. A Chill I have not felt since….”

Added Star Wars to this thrifted winter painting.
Seems fitting for this chilly day.

Most creators are already highly aware of all the possible shortcomings in their work, and rarely need to hear about more. But you know what creators never get enough of? Praise! Especially if it's specific praise about a particular piece of their work that hit you. Tell them!
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

I know I'm showing my whole age here but remember that thrill of getting a mixtape from someone? A mix of music that they made just for you?

Today 31 years ago the PS1 was released. In honor of Sony Playstation 1's birthday lets unironically celebrate by rewitnessing the greatest (in my opinion) bit of voice acting speech on the platform from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Stan Rogers became one of the most beloved Canadian musicians of the late-20th century.
His songs told the story of Canada, its culture, its people and its history.
Rogers was taken far too soon but his legacy endures.
This is his story.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released on this day (Nov 28) in 1986. The film had originally been planned for release in mid-December. The studio believed this would allow it to maximize earnings because the film would be in theaters during the Christmas holiday.

The greatest feeling is when you made plans on Saturday morning that you are not entirely enthusiastic about, then the person you've made plans with suddenly asks to reschedule!

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

I remember when they were filming a scene across the street from my house!

For a band that got its start in Halifax on this same stage, it was fantastic to see The Beaches return and absolutely crush their performance, says Trev. Review and photos on HAFILAX:
