Jonathan Seet on MySpace
Homegrown Toronto singer/songwriter Jonathan Seet has set up an account on MySpace. A sampling of new material and recent new mixes of his songs are featured. I met Jonanthan personally many years ago through my cousin and have seen him perform on numerous occasions around the city. I enjoy his emotionally charged style which I consider to be a mood evoking pop/rock/indie blend. Check out his music!

Now that it's getting dark early in the evening, I imagine things when I ride my bicycle through the leafy park.

Egyptian Tombs Discovered
Amazing that the ancient Egyptians had royal dentists, let alone tombs for them. Apparently theives led the authorities to the graves which are protected by an ancient curse!

Some Furniture
Rercently I inherited a few pieces of furniture from my Grandmother so I rearranged my place to accomodate it. This is my furniture: librarian's desk from my great grandfather, designer chair from a hair salon on College st., chesterfield from my late grandmother, Indian cupboard from Strachan avenue furniture place(I don't remeber the name of the place), antique writing desk from my late grandmother and a mission coffee tablefrom Loblaws. Looks better than that old futon which the moving guys gladly took off my hands.

We went to Chudleigh's Apple farm and brought back a bushel full! I also bought this huge pie which I thought would last into next week, but I doubt that it will get through today and tomorrow as it is 1/2 finished now. Tasty!

Printmaking For Grade One
First you start drawing a design into a styrofoam plate. Be sure to trim off the rim so it is flat and make sure the gtooves are deep.
Second you spread out water soluble printing ink onto plexiglass with a rubber brayer. Then roll the ink evenly onto the styrofoam plate. Be careful to not put too little or too much.
Third, make sure your hands are clean, placing the inked plate on a clean spot and spread a tissue paper over top. Rub it gently with the palm of your hand from the center of the plate out to the edges. Fourth, pull back the paper carefully and voila there is your image!

National Geographic
Now here is a fish you don't see to often. It is a shortnose batfish in the Cuba reefs. It actually has a glowing lure to attract prey.

Again another attempt to create a different feel with my abstract drawings. There is quite a bit of movement through the composition and the right form looks mysterious enough for halloween!
238.shellpond
I was trying out a slightly different approach by simplifying the number of forms. It still looks like one of my creations which I intend on leaving as finished.

Metric
An interesting alternative Toronto band I noticed or rather lurked around from outside the fence in Ottawa during the summer. These are photos I took. Neat having your apartment balcony overlooking the stage eh? Which to: they had to finish their gig by 10:00 pm.
