toronto artists

i've been frequenting blogTO for a while now and i like that they have a fair amount of news, guides, and general information about toronto. i don't think the toronto star's site even has a dedicated section to art. blogTO are pretty johnny on the spot with the ttc updates on twitter as well, which is a tremendous help. one thing i really like about the site is that they feature local artists with interviews, samples of their work, and of course links to their sites. i used a few as subejcts one day. luke painter, david trautrimas, dan bergeron, anna pantchev, and amanda nedham in moleskine, 9x10"

penguins

i suppose the parade of penguins that were depicted in that little movie educated me some more on these bipedal, endothermic, egg-laying, flightless, and, winged vertabrates. from i've read, at least within one breeding season, these guys are the model household: monogomous and equal to the task of incubation. i'm guessing the raising of the chicks goes along the same lines. anatarctic emperor, king, chinstrap, adélie, and rockhopper penguins in moleskine, 9x10"

hugh laurie

i've gotta say that i love this show. it is somewhat formulaic but it's actually really funny and well written. laurie definitely makes house work. i'm excited for tomorrow's finale despite it meaning that i'll have to wait a few months to see new episodes. movies have been pretty blah as of late and show's like this have helped to fill the void and provide welcome distractions to "working." good thing there are only a handful of good shows out there or i'd never get anything done. hugh laurie in moleskine, 9 x 10"

hierarchy

so this one was fueled by illustration friday's theme of hierarchy. i'm sure you can figure out how it came about. the order changes from time to time but the current order is: 

1. in rainbows
2. ok computer
3. the bends
4. kid a
5. hail to the thief
6. amnesiac
7. pablo honey

it's a bit messy but i'm going to blame it on the fact that it's a bit late. considering that there's really only one more day until the next topic comes 'round, that's a double entendre for you folks that are paying attention. my favourite band's albums.
