SO... people kept breaking the front windows of the Raindance Centre where I work with the Film Camp for Kids (filmcampforkids.com), so we had to board it up. Before I came back to Toronto for the school year, I painted a quick mural across the front of the building to make it look less ugly than just plywood. It's not great, but it does the job. Check it out at 709 Ouellette Ave. in Windsor!

It's been a very long time, but I'm trying to make a commitment to keeping this website updated from now on. There's A LOT to cover from the past few years, so it'll take a bit of time to fully catalog everything I've done, but alas...
That's also why a lot of my pictures look unprofessional-- or just bad. Everything that was already on the website before I updated it is not only bad artwork, but is also photographed very poorly. I hope you'll be able to find the hidden gems, if there are any. I might be adding a new page for my Snapchats soon-- so the world can see them for longer than just ten seconds. The only problem is, you'll all be missing out on some of my awesome videos: the snapchat app for my Samsung doesn't allow me to save videos with the drawings on them. The point is, there's still lots to see, though, so keep checking in! As I mentioned I would do in an earlier post, I've added a page for my snapchats! You're welcome, world.
My latest project since rebooting this website has been to paint a large map of Westeros and Essos from Game of Thrones (and A Song of Ice and Fire). I painted it on a huge piece of vinyl (around 4' x6') in acrylic, with lettering and a border in gold leaf paint.
![]() Patrick (my student) and I finally finished our summer project: Painting Superman on his wall. We made it look like he was actually bursting through the wal. Pretty cool...He seems to like it, and you'd be surprised, for a 4th grader, he actually did quite a bit of it! Also, I added Othello to my Shakespeare door Announcing that I am a desigigner now: I designed the exterior of the upcoming Raindance Centre for my co-op, as well as 5 interior rooms, including offices, a small screening room, and a learning centre. I will be creating a new page for these designs on this website, but you can also see them all at http://www.raindancecentre.com/#!artist-renderings. This will, within the next year or two, be the completely renovated 703 (or 709, I can't remember) Ouellette Avenue Windsor!
I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news, due to the fact that I lack the time and the interest (sorry) of making the model of the Titanic I had planned on making this summer, I opted for another model ship. Though, similar to my other model ships, the Millenium Falcon and the Enterprise, this one does NOT float in water. I plan on making the Battlestar Galactica (and, if possible, maybe some raptors and cylon raiders). Though it won't be quite on the same scale as the Titanic, it will still be one of the most difficult things I've done to date because of the detail.
Well, today was the Sunday Film School with Elliot Grove at Wayne State University, and, to say the least: a very very useful and invaluable experience. Definitely worth while. Also, pictures of my current project, my spring/summer version of my bridge
