This is a little portrait of Creo, an awesome guy I met a few years ago in Montreal. His full name is Leonard Creo, and he's a good friend of my friend's Jack and Lois. He comes to Montreal every couple years for a show of his paintings at Lois' gallery. In his free time, he's a champion racewalker. He lives in Wales.

Happy August! Busy summer has precluded me from updating. Herewith, a cursory rundown of what's going on:
• Our movie premiere in Toronto on August 27th! Come!
Got to illustrate a good piece by the Post's Nathalie Atkinson on reconciling oneself to the stereotypes of the fashion profession, and feeling defensive when it comes to smarts.
We're renovating! The Portrait Gallery will be repaired and reno'd this summer, which means no room at the art inn. 200+ mini portraits of notable Torontonians (like you!), Twitter paintings, furniture and other stuff for free or cheap.
I'll be doing one portrait a day until I can't do one portrait a day anymore. Not allowed to spend more than an hour on each one.
This is my catch-all site - art projects, journalism, weird experiments, all founded in the general belief that irony is not dead, regardless of what Graydon Carter says.
A joint blog where me and the Mr. post our thoughts on fashion and design, and I chronicle my year of not shopping. (I've cheated once.)
The government has been all kinds of annoying when it comes to creating a respectable National Portrait Gallery of Canada. So we built one in our garage this summer!
