Ambiance optimale

Ultimate crafting set-up: Dad’s garage and Francine’s cosy little backyard cabin. Dog included.

Coincidence

I was cutting when this ladybug landed on Eve's drawing. The bug must have thought that a clown's nose was the finishing touch.

Notes and doodles

Ideas jotted down while crafting in the atelier d’été, after a beach stroll.

"Mouche à beurre"

Testing. On the monitor, blue line = cut, dark spots = engraving. Happily my 10 inches mobile still work, and must, because for now our laser cutter only works with windows xp.

Variations on a seascape

Some mix-media explorations with an ink drawing as starting point. Played with oil crayons, watercolor, and added a zest of Photoshop.

Spider on her night shift

Looks like a flower, but isn't. The blurriness makes her very furry.

And here she looks like...the Muppets' drummer...

East Coast patterns

Stones, seaweeds, leaves are so fun to collect and play with! Here a few iphone pix, drawing, painting, monotype printing, photoshoping, and other beach bricolages.

Endearingly brainless

My creatures are happily low I.Q., because some monsters just are.
This is a totem.
 Function: to distract much-too-serious ghosts who fly around in our brain.

Eastern drawings and pictures

Stuff I drew in Gaspé, Bic and Île-Verte. Favourite themes, as always: birds, animal, plants, shells, weeds, sea treasures, feathers, …

Work in progress

After laser cutting and before assembly, testing paint-markers. The yellow marker leaks - spray paint is badly needed.
All this reminds me of my training in industrial design!
