Went to see @avilewis.ca talk at Lee's Palace this evening. It was packed and full of hope and potential. If you join the NDP before Jan 28 you can vote for the new federal leader. I really think it should be Avi Lewis, he actually cares. Please look at his policies and consider voting for him too.

A watercolour and gouache painting I did a few years ago of Pingu the bunny meeting penguins! Thought it might be appropriate for the cold and snowy weekend we are getting in the GTA. Stay warm friends.

A painting I made in October of a parade of spirit rabbits visiting a scared cottontail. In my head they were coming to protect and help them, not to haunt. I made this with watercolours and gouache on paper.

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

I mostly paint in watercolours and gouache but have been working in acrylics a bit lately too. Here's a very small canvas.

This was our holiday card artwork for this year that I painted. Our bunny Dot and our hamster Ed curling on a pond ❤️ I painted it in watercolour and gouache on paper and did a bit of editing in Procreate. The original is 8x12"

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

This is my new friend Dot! We adopted her from our local shelter a couple weeks ago. She's around 4 years old and a bit sassy. We are happy to give her a comfortable forever home.

what windspeed

And where do you

Cool study from @bikewaysto.bsky.social detailing a traffic count on Bloor Street taken on June 11 with a camera at 412 Bloor West. During the peak of the afternoon rush, bikes outnumbered cars.
I repeat: bikes outnumbered cars.

Stop Bill 5 - Environmental Defence
Premier Ford promised to protect Ontario. But now that he's been re-elected, he is already breaking that promise. His latest bill would give his friends special permissions to ignore laws that protect...

Recent painting I made in memory of Pistachio. This was for my Easter fundraiser drawn winner. We decided to depict Pistachio with his favourite things, his bed, stacking cups, banana and his mum's slippers. ❤️

Thank you everyone who entered my fundraiser draw for rescue rabbits! We raised $945 for the rescues this year which is so amazing! A winner has been selected and notified. I will be sending a little email thank you to everyone who participated in the next week.

New data from Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition counts about 15K cyclists on Bloor West (near Bathurst) during a cold week in Feb. At one point, during a Monday rush hour, cyclists were 22% of all road vehicles. static1.squarespace.com/static/5f07a... (PDF)

Toronto friends, keep your eyes out for this BS.
Ford promised bike lane removals could happen today onward in TO (Bloor W, Yonge, & Uni). That means we’ve got to be vigilant & have our eyes open. If you see construction crews amassing to remove lanes, post/tag local cycling orgs & advocates. Send pictures. Be safe & don’t interfere.
