Ghost of a Melting City

An oldy but a goody this morning. I earlier posted a piece entitled "Melting City", this was the next evolution of that piece. It's got a freaky, kind of haunting quality to it that really resonates for me.

Melting City

At one point I was really hooked on this idea of altering skylines and thought about doing a whole series similar to this picture. At the end it didn't amount to much but I still really like this one, it speaks to something in me that I can't quite describe, something about my relationship with the city of Toronto.

Golden Skyline

Happy Tuesday.

Karyn Wong

Hopefully every once in a while I'll have a local artist to feature like I have today. Meet Karyn Wong a Toronto painter.

From her website:

"Karyn’s paintings, vibrant and sharp, beckons one to reflect upon print and broadcasting media’s preeminent and more often than not invasive position in our digitalized society. "

Make sure to visit her website and see more of her work.

Taste of the Danforth

This weekend kicks off one of my favorite street festivals in Toronto, Taste of the Danforth. Lots of good food, good drink, live entertainment and plenty of fun. If you have the time I suggest you check it out. This picture is from the Taste three years ago. I've used a treatment that gives it somewhat of an illustrated feel.
