ART



Honestly, I started when I was a kid (9 I think) and I wanted to be popular. After a couple years of just drawing Pokemon, I realized I really like creating art. I remember my first "serious" image was a dragon in pencil, flying through the sky with a crystal staff. I always used what I had around me...back then, it was only recycling paper and HB pencil. I went to art school at NSCAD University in Halifax, but I still attribute most of what I know to being self-taught and the freedom and encouragement from my high school art teacher.



Now, I have my own home studio. I sell internationally and exhibit locally. I am inspired mainly by personal experience, life, the subconscious, comics arts and pop culture. I prefer to use watercolour for its quick, clean, easy, and fluid manner.



KNIT



In 2007 I ran into a knitting shop, looking for a place to hide because a creepy man was stalking me. The store owner saw how I was still very nervous after half an hour passed. She offered to show me how to knit, and I gladly accepted. I ended up buying yarn, needles, and going home to practice on my first scarf. Since then, I worked at her shop and later, at a local knitwear store in Halifax knitting custom knitwear. Nowadays, I mostly knit for myself and those close to me - the odd time I am commissioned a piece. I write my own patterns. On Ravelry, I am graymankin. For those interest in custom work, please send me a message or email!
