Roadside in St. Lucia

We saw a lot of these roadside in St. Lucia.

Most were painted in the brand colors of the drink being sold, usually either Coke or Piton Beer.

"Live Positively" is the brand slogan, the merchant added the "No Credit" sign.

Not sure if they intended the extra meaning of staying financially positive by avoiding debt but I thought it was clever.

Merry Christmas!

Made a couple of Christmas cards for sale at work with the proceeds all going to charity. It's a bit rough since it's freehand but I like the feel.

Kids in the Tree

Taking hold and climbing up is a pretty universal thing to do.

It's something that can bring us all together.

Other suggested titles were Family Tree, Tree of Life, World Tree, and even Christmas Tree - but that was a bit too meta.

"Blending In". Another piece up at the 4th Floor "When I Was a Kid" Gallery Show.

Back in the day, they called us all "minor niners" but I really fit the bill.
If you've ever seen the awesome show Freaks and Geeks, I had Sam's size and Bill's nerdiness.

Long Shot

"Long Shot". A sketch for the Nelvana 4th Floor Gallery "When I Was A Kid" Theme Show.

I met the girl of my dreams in college, so this is a bit off the real timeline but it's the same feeling.
