Description: Inspired by Baba Yaga's house on chicken feet, I collaged an AI creation I asked a site to generate (Baba Yaga's house hatching an egg) with some of my own bird photography from the Ontario Raptor Conservancy. I painted this in oil on canvas with an acrylic underpainting.

Description: Acrylic on canvas, this piece is collaborative with some AI art generative play. The wings are basically recreated, but the rest is my own invention.

Description: This is a whole bouquet of Cage rage. It's a Nicolas BouCage.

Description: The only thing better than Jeff Goldblum are many Jeff Goldblooms. Jeff Goldblum's face on flowers.

Description: Jason Plantzoukas is #4 in my flower series. How did these get splayed?

Description: This is actually a modified portrait of a friend of mine. At first, it was her as an anglerfish, which was already frightening. Then, last year, I was inspired by the Haunting of Hill House, and remodeled her portrait while watching the show on Netflix. Luckily, she loves it.

Description: A couple years ago, I made this, and another similar one for my SIL. She seemed very happy, but I never thought to share them here until now. Most of my work is less abstract, but these are lovely.

Description: A paired piece to the blue peonies in my collection, made for my SIL. I don't normally do abstracted work, but it's pretty, so here it is.

Description: inspired by Kintsugi, the art of fixing broken pottery together to add to the story of the piece within its preservation.

Description: We have our own mythological creatures up here in Canada. Some told of by indigenous peoples, and some made up by me.

Description: In November, 2018, a tiny little cat was found wandering the hallway in my highrise apartment building. We took her in, hoping to find her people. We slipped notes through all the other doors on our floor, we put posters up. We left notes at the office. Nobody came. Now we have a cat, and she's been my muse. This is one of a few pieces I've painted of her. Her name is Bilbo Baggins, and she's adorable.

Description: The second portrait of my cat, Bilbo. We found her wandering in the hallway of our highrise, and she's been my cutest, cuddliest little muse since. The cuddles aren't her favourite, but she tolerates them.

Description: Part of a mosaic series. Most of them are classic centerfolds from old playboys, but a couple of them, such as this one, are nature scenes.

Description: Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford may have several claims to fame, but the first real doozy was the crackpipe drug scandal. Here he is on the body of Marie Antoinette, in 'Let them Eat Crack'.
