The Blog

West Coast // North East

-1Hey everyone! I have exciting news.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but posting has been rather scarce around here lately. I have taken a break from blogging in the last 6 months or so for a lot of reasons. I have been rather busy, and I just didn’t have that urge to write like I normally do. Mostly I think it’s  because I felt that I didn’t have an audience so what was the point.

I do not plan on continuing to update the blog here. My portfolio will remain up (and hopefully will be updated this year… it’s a resolution of mine), but this blog will be deleted in a few weeks.

However, this is not the last you’ll see of me, not at all. I have launched a new site called West Coast // North East with my penpal and one of my dearest friends, Michelle. We have bee great friends for two years, exchanging email, having Skype sessions, tweeting and sending packages by mail. It makes a lot of sense to start blogging with her and the audience of one will light a fire to remind me to keep posting. I think that if you are at all interested in what I write about here, you will like the new site.

If you’re interested in what I write here, please direct your attention to West Coast // North East. And keep up with my portfolio, I swear I’m going to update it soon!

 

Yours,

Sara

I’m in an art show and the reception is tonight. If you live in Windsor and you’d like something to do, check out 1942 Wyandotte Street East (Artspeak Gallery) between 6-9pm. There will be food. And art!

The interesting part of the show is that the entire gallery consists of work that the artists made at Artspeak during the week. It was stressful but fun!

Hello.

I am in the process of moving. I am stressed and busy and very, very happy. I’m sort of waiting to get that urge to blog on the regular again. It’s not happening, I’m sorry!

Here are some photos I took with one of my favourite cameras within the last two months. I miss messing around with digital. Soon, I suppose.

Completely in love with this flickr stream. I had a really hard time choosing favourites; it’s worth the look.

Taking Notes

As paper is my kryptonite, I’d thought I’d hi-light some great stationary shops. Top two images from here and the calendar is from here. Here and here are great places to visit too.

Some Art and Some Updates

This artwork is from Sandra Diekmann’s Etsy shop. I’m absolutely in love with all of her illustrations and I’m pretty sure that I would buy every single one of them if I had the money to do so.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Mostly I’ve been busy with this and working a lot (more on Broken City Lab later). I also am now the director of the Windsor chapter of a charity called Meal Exchange. I want to do some really fun stuff with it and I’m excited for the events to take place. I’ll be writing about them too; food politics is something I’ve always been super interested in (I am a vegan, after all!), and it makes sense to join up with a charity that addresses these issues.

And here’s some of the biggest news I have: I’m moving! I found the most perfect apartment! It has a loft and more importantly, central air, which is a must if you’ve ever visited my city. It’s also just the right price and location. I’m very lucky to have found it. I move late July.

Naturally, instead of thinking of useful, practical things like buying couches, I’ve been looking at artists and illustrators. I suppose some of that is warranted; the apartment has enough room for me to afford a little studio/study space, plus a bedroom. I sort of can’t wait to decorate. And move!

More later.
