A Transformer-Robot-Dinosaur who makes art.

I'm a Fibre Major student at OCAD in Toronto.

I make things. This is a process blog/art journal of things I make, things that inspire me, and things that I like.

My ongoing letter project:

Amongst the photos and letters from the early 1900s that my mum brought back from Australia, was this tiny envelope containing this tiny key.

THIS PLEASES ME.

“This fantastic contraption, called the ‘Routefinder’, showed 1920s drivers in the UK the roads they were travelling down, gave them the mileage covered and told them to stop when they came at journey’s end.

The technology – a curious cross between the space age and the stone age – consisted of a little map scroll inside a watch, to be ‘scrolled’ (hence the word) as the driver moved along on the map. A multitude of scrolls could be fitted in the watch to suit the particular trip the driver fancied taking.”

Routine cleaning/clearing up of my desk.  I realised not everyone might have old cigarette tins, and I use them to organise my pens and stuff.
