"And so we started to learn about their lives, coming to hold collective memories of times we hadn’t experienced. We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy and how you ended up knowing what colours went together . . . We knew that they knew everything about us and that we couldn’t fathom them at all.” - The Virgin Suicides

Day 5
I was watching the episode of How I Met Your Mother when Robin becomes a dual citizen and then a history channel special on the watergate scandal. So this is what came out of that.
I also began thinking about how especially on the west coast we have a very distinct sense of being Canadian but culturally we are more similar to the western United States than we are with the rest of Canada.
Just ideas that pop into my head when doodling
Saturday is Record Store Day! Go back and get ignored by record store employees who think they’re cooler than you, just like in the good old days.
I’m reblogging this as I am one of those record store employees! Come visit me, I promise not to ignore you!
Day 3
She
So this one is coming in 4 minutes after midnight but as I am a night owl I am counting days by the time I wake up until I go to sleep.
This one is after another Ed Sheeran Song off of the Songs I wrote with Amy EP again. I really love that EP I may make it into a series.
But anyways this song is about a girl but the lyrics made me think about my relationship with my self and how I sometimes try to reject it but somehow I can never really change or abandon who I really am. Basically it made me think about how we always end up coming back to who we really are and as long as we keep doing that we will be happy.
More generally though its a collage of images that struck me while listening to the song on repeat and the lyrics that really stood out to me.
Happy Friday all!
Day 2
Had to force myself to draw and as I sat down a Christy Clark election campaign ad came on.
So this is what occurred. I really had nothing else of value to say today.
American Gothic on LSD
I love collage!
This is not part of the drawing a day I just hadn’t posted it yet!
Day 1
Cold Coffee
I was listening to an Ed Sheeran song by the same title and this is what ended up happening. I was drinking coffee at the time so I decided do a watercoloury affect with the coffee as well.
The text is lyrics from the song.
I really like love songs and coffee so not too much therapy going on here
Specifically Shrinks … but that’s the entire idea of this blog. I process things better through art than anything else, so as I am now done university and barely work and really have very little to do, I am going to draw everyday and post it.
I figure this will help me sort through life after school and give me at least one responsibility that I have to follow through with everyday.
So hold me accountable and I will do my best to start posting everyday.
