In eary 1989 most of my family went to Australia (we lived in this suburb of Sydney) in an around-the-world trip that radically altered my life. I remember during the Christmas holidays of 1988 it dawned on me, for real, that this was going to happen. And soon. That feeling was overwhelmingly euphoric. I'd stay awake at night thinking of all the people we'd meet, things we'd see. I remember thinking that seeing what packaged goods look like in other countries would be very cool (this was pre-WWW). ¶ This past weekend, when it finally dawned on me all that our next chapter will bring, I had a very similar feeling. It's a feeling related to endless opportunities and the anticipation of discovering new worlds. ¶ Last month I had the opportunity to sketch David Cronenberg during a blogger Q&A session (lead by Rocketboom's Andrew Baron) at the AGO. Photojunkie took some pictures and today I complete a finished portrait of David Cronenberg. ¶ Huge thanks to Glen and Chris from The Movers out of Toronto for helping out with our move in a massive way and another shoutout to The Nortons who saved the day in London. A special note of thanks to Al, from Payless For Everything Furniture who moved our Steelcase desk from the street to our awesome new apartment. Thank you thank you thank you!
