Drawing Robots Is Fun

January 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Drawing

My doodling projects are coming along. I think, like anything, it’s just important to find some time to work on it a little bit every day. This is a three-armed Droid I’ve drawn up for Amber’s Star Wars movie – I’m trying to do up a set of robots I can model in 3d and [...]

Skating on the Canal

January 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Ottawa

Lisa and Kiriel invited us out Sunday afternoon to go for a skate on the canal. The weather was fantastic, it was warm and sunny and there was hardly any wind. Although there were lots of people with the same idea out for a skate, it wasn’t too crowded and the ice was fairly smooth [...]

Woot! Ottawa Sens Tickets!

January 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Observations, Ottawa

I got to go see my first NHL game from the posh bitHeads box seats! It was superstar treatment all night – full service and fully catered.

This evening, forced to fetch Natasha and commute [...]

Drawing Practice

January 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Drawing

I always worry when I post an intentionally badly drawn picture that people are going to take it seriously – Natasha made a comment the other day about my hockey players that made me a little anxious. It reminded me that maybe it’d be nice to do some polished personal projects now and then.
It’s not [...]

Museum of Nature

January 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Ottawa

We took a trip out to the Museum of Nature this morning with Greg and his girls, and I got to take my first look around since the renovations started. There’s really only a very small portion of the museum open. It’s a little disappointing, but what they have set up is gorgeous. I was [...]
