First homeowner milestone unlocked: something broke! The garage door opener gave up today. Feeling pretty proud it wasn’t the furnace though!

I’m glad for Los Angeles the city, who have been through so much. I have nothing against the Dodgers as a team. I’m a big fan of Ohtani, Freeman, Yamamoto. But I’ve never wanted a group of men on a team to win as much as this group of Blue Jays players. Vladdy Clement Springer Yesavage Scherzer

I have watched more baseball in the last month than I have in my entire life. Thank you #BlueJays for playing an unforgettable season. Still heartbroken but proud as heck.

Damn 🥲

🙈

This is where you build a ballpark, people. Where people can easily walk to it, bike to it, take public transit to it. Car-dependent ballparks, stadiums, arenas are straight-up stupid planning.

Everyone’s saying it’s David vs. Goliath (Blue Jays vs Dodgers)… nah, this is a lion vs a honey badger that don’t give no fucks. #TorontoBlueJays #WorldSeries

WHAT JUST HAPPENED #GoBluejaysGo

Dang it. Got my first flat tire today after riding my bike for almost a year and a half.

C’mon… let’s get a run here so we can go to bed! #GoJaysGo

Wait… I’ve just learned that most Americans have never tasted the joy of a Caesar? And that it’s not common outside of Canada??? 😱 Y’all missing out!

It's polar bear season in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada and I'm a guide. My polar bear photos always engender a lot of questions, so I thought I'd take a moment to answer some of the most common ones so you can better understand these amazing animals and our relationship with them in Churchill. 🐻‍❄️ 1/

Was walking my bike through a flashing pedestrian crosswalk today. I was just about to finish crossing when a car came speeding through, right past me and another pedestrian. Thankfully, one of the stopped cars was a police cruiser that witnessed it all. Love a little instant karma 🚨 #winnipeg

LETS GO BLUE JAYS!! ⚾️ 🍁

Feeling extra grateful that I live in a parliamentary republic today. Government can’t come together to agree on a budget? Snap, non-confidence election. Feeling for my American friends and family right now.

Rode my bike through the thickest fog this morning. So this is what it’s like to be in a cloud? ☁️ #Winnipeg

Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on Star Trek Deep Space 9 all my life. It’s so good. (I’m half way through season 5 so shhhh. No spoilers)

Since moving to my new house my bike ride to work is mostly the same - but now I have to cross 8 lanes of traffic at a singled crosswalk (I walk my bike across). This is by far the most dangerous part of my journey. So many drivers either don’t stop or take off as soon as you’re past them.

So. Many. Spiders 😭

Got hiccups? Take a deep breath, then sip water super slowly for as long as you can. Works. Every. Time. Shoutout to the random customer who shared this with me while working retail 8+ years ago. I’ll never forget you.

Really excited to get creative in this art studio space and see it evolve over the years!

Buying a 100+ year old house pros and cons: Pros: lots of character! Cons: SO. MANY. SPIDERS

Found this 160/180 canvas collection print of Robert Bateman’s Orca Rhapsody for $18 while thrifting today but there’s some damage to it. Anyone know if this is something that can be repaired? I’m going to call a few places tomorrow and see what can be done.

Welp, I’ve officially locked myself out of my house for the first time. This is fun!

My bird could be living her best free-range life exploring the whole house, but no, instead she chooses her cramped little carrier cage to sit in ALL DAY like a weirdo. Hope the neighbors don’t think I’m out here locking my medium-sized parrot in a shoebox. *note the cage door is open*

In two weeks we get possession of our new home — and a dreamy second-floor sunroom that’s soon to become my cozy little art studio. ☀️ I can’t wait to show you all and creat art in an inspiring space 😭

The process of buying a house is way more stressful than I imagined 😩 Wouldn’t wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemy

Well shit… I think we just bought a house 😳

Currently house hunting in Winnipeg and it is a bit depressing. It wasn’t that long ago you could get a decent house in a good area for under 300k. 😞

Finally biked from Winnipeg to Birds Hill Park! After 66.6km and a tough southern headwind, I made it home in 3.5 hours (and with 10% battery left??) My butt is sore and my legs are burning but I am so happy to have spend such a beautiful (yet windy!!) day outside.

Time to revisit an older piece and bring it to a finish. I don’t think I had the skills to complete this when I initially painted it in 2018. There’s a lot going on so it’ll be a challenge balancing out all the chaos! I will try to do that with values.

It hasn’t been a full year yet with my e-bike and I already want another bike. 🫣 Thinking about gravel bikes lately - something I can go bikepacking with.

A little spring storm ain’t gonna stop me 🤘 The snow is light and fluffy so it was actually very easy to ride in.

Saw my first Bald Eagle of the year this morning 🦅

i can finally share these! here is one of four west coast puzzle illustrations i did for pacific puzzle co. last year!! god the PNW colour palettes are *chefs kiss* #art

Honk honk! The Goose Bus is here!

So In other news on my bike ride home today, I nearly got side-swiped and cut off by a truck. There were three completely EMPTY lanes they could’ve used - but nope! I will never understand why some people feel entitled to show such disregard for human life when they get behind the wheel of a car.

It’s interesting how the people I know who supported the truck convoy for “freedom” reasons are the same ones who are perfectly fine with being absorbed by the USA. 🤔

I will never not be shocked at how many college and university graduates with business degrees DON’T NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK A SIMPLE EXCEL FILTER 🙃

Looking straight up last night from the frozen Churchill River. It was an out of this world show. I took so many pictures.

Rough phase is finally complete! Now that I know where everything bird is going, I’ve now gotta go over the sketch, fine-tune it and stylize each design. Anyone recognize the overall shape? 👀

We needed that win 🇨🇦 🏒 🇨🇦

It’s cold again, yippee! Time to get out and ride a bike! #winnipeg #wintercycling

right, so, as i am assuming most canadians won’t be vacationing in the states anytime soon, may i instead suggest this thread of pretty manitoba parks and landmarks for your sightseeing consideration? 😇

One of the things I want to get better at this year is drawing birds. I always admire artists who can sketch them so well!! Know any good bird artists? 👀

Not gonna lie… as a Canadian I’m feeling a lot of anxiety lately with threats of annexation and tariffs. Trying to keep my mind off of it and focus on things I can control but it’s hard.

Near perfect conditions this morning in -23 celcius 👌
