Monster Monday is Back – August 15

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…what started out as a drawing for this year’s Christmas Card turned into a Monster Monday

I’m so happy that my husband resurrected Monster Mondays. Not sure if this one has a name but he sure is pretty.

Monday Murals – 30th Street Underpass Mural – Part 2

Posted on August 11, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….the artist is Nick Sweetman who worked with First Nations historian Phil Cote

The main idea of this project is to find an effective way to interpret Cote’s cultural experience and knowledge of signs of Indigenous symbols, language and interpretation to those who see it. This will help users digitally experience the stories of the artwork.

Monday Murals – 30th Street Underpass Mural – Part 1

….this 500 ft. mural is so large and complex…I’ve divided it into four parts

Excerpt from marlapasquin.ca: The client, Nick Sweetman, is a multidisciplinary artist who has worked with muralists and First Nations historian Phil Cote to design a mural to imbue the indigenous oral traditions of storytelling and traditional spiritual perspectives. The 500 ft nature-themed mural celebrates the plants and animals whose natural habitat is the Toronto shoreline.

The Chaos of the Artist Studio

Posted on July 27, 2022 by Mama Cormier

….some artists thrive in chaos

My husband doesn’t like it when I try to clean-up his work space. I’ve learned to leave his art studio as is. He knows where everything is (most of the time) and what many people would consider an unorganized space, it’s a space that sparks his creative juices.

I can’t say I’m much better. My art studio is smaller and is currently cluttered with papers, bills and unused art supplies. I can only take the mess for so long before I have the need to clean and reorganize the space. I’ll share my space down the road.
