A new kid on the block

Alphonse

This is Alphonse… Passion: radioactive chocolate.
Voici Alphonse… Passion : chocolat radioactif.

Like a 50's portrait

Sans titre

Cats have a slinky in place of a spine!
Les chats ont un slinky à la place d’une colonne vertébrale!

I love these remakes / j’adore ces interprétations :
The girl with a pearl earring, Weeping Woman and The two Fridas and much more!

I am participating to Brown Paper Bag’s Collage Scrap Exchange. Here is a part of what my USA partner sent me:

002

We have until June 8th to create a collage with what we received. You should see the results around that time!

Have a good week!

Semaine 36 : thème libre
Ink, ecoline and paper on paper, 2008

We spent the past three days in Montreal, in part to celebrate our birthdays (Nicolas’, his twin sister’s and mine), but also because we have to start packing. We have kept our apartment in the city as long as possible while living in the countryside but now it is time to make the move. We will be staying full time in the Eastern Townships!

I feel a bit sad to leave this place even if I love the countryside. We have lived in this apartment for a long time. So many memories are associated with this place, including a LOT of dinners with friends and family. I hope the new tenants will appreciate this space as much as we did.

We still have a few weeks before vacating the apartment, until then it will be sorting, sorting, sorting, getting rid of (how much stuff can someone accumulate in twelve years?) and packing.

Here are a few picks of the garden in Montreal, when it gets out of control!

I would like to see this exhibition in San Diego but I will stay here and snowshoe. :-)

Have a good weekend!

I really like to take a peak at the street life of Barcelona.
Inside a Russian rocket plant (via Juxtapoz) brrrr!
Are those two different atmospheres…

Have a good weekend!

Birds of a feather

I rarely know what’s going to happen when I start drawing, forms just happen. But it seems that round and fluffy feathered creatures have made their way through my work recently.

They also got to me through my camera.

Notre supermarché pour les oeufs!

This is where we pick up our eggs each week. These hens live a good life: they belong to a very nice neighbour who lets them wonder around freely and they end up their lives as old hens, never in a crockpot.

These last ones were taken a while ago:

Refuge Pageau / Fluffy Souvenirs du tour éco vélo en 2005 Semaine 16 - Photo

The owls were photographed at le Refuge Pageau in Abitibi, a very special shelter for animals.
The second photo was taken during a three day eco-bike tour in Outaouais.
And last but not least is a bird that was photographed on our balcony in Montreal. We left food outside for the stray cats, but these birds ate it as much as the cats.

And since we are talking about birds in this post, here is today’s inspiration: the beautiful documentary “A falconner’s tale” by my friend Marc Girard. It’s available to watch on line!
