Congratulations Tiffany.

I want to say congratulations to my friend Tiffany Poirier for publishing her first children's book Q is for Question: An ABC of Philosphy. A teacher specializing in philosophy for children, she's written and illustrated a fantastic book introducing kids to the integral questions in philosophy.

I helped out in my way by photographing her illustrations and colour correcting them, so I'm also excited to see it in print.

The book is available for pre-order at Amazon, .ca .com or .co.uk, where ever you happen to be.

Congratulations Tiffany.

A million pictures.

I just finished reading Kurt Vonnegut's book "A Man Without A Country". It's enjoyable, and an enjoyably quick read as well. A great little book with great insight.

But right at the end there is some great insight for any visual artist or appreciator of visual art. (or of any art come to think of it, but it's simpler this way.) It isn't even something Vonnegut said or wrote. He had asked the painter Syd Solomon how to tell a good picture from a bad one. He said, "Look at a million pictures, and you can never be mistaken."


Now that should take care of the complaints I've been getting to update my blog. I apologize that I haven't been keeping it up to date. Hopefully you'll hear more from me soon.
