He staggered out of the water like an unfinished thought, his clumsy legs pushing against solid earth. How the hell did we get here? He asked her. She was too distracted with the precarious placement of her scratched-up feet to answer him. And besides, She didn’t have the faintest idea. Can you believe [...]

Dear members of ArtTimeCollective, As many of you know, Christmas has never been a part of my family tradition. While I remain open to the concept and welcome holiday festivities, I don’t go out of my way to do anything Christmasy or festive around this time. This year, I find myself spending the evening of [...]

Greetings, gentlefolk. As you all know, it is important to adapt to the circumstances. In this case, the circumstances entail my home scanner no longer working as well as it once did. What this means in the context of Art Time Collective, is that many of my uploads will be coming from the University of [...]

“There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone circling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are [...]

Greetings once more, fellow ArtTimers. Today’s exhibit consists of a rectangular sheet made of polystyrene (type 6 plastic, just like chinese food containers), which undergoes a fantastic transformation when exposed to heat. Shrinky Dinks reduce uniformly to approximately 5/8ths their starting size, retaining the colour of felt-tipped markers and various other colouring supplies. What does this [...]

Hello, fellow ArtTimers. Over the last month I spent in British Columbia, I was introduced to the art of needle-felting (thank you Seneca :D). Since I had a lot of spare time, I tried my hand at a couple of different projects. Needle-felting is incredibly easy. You start with a ball of roving wool (a [...]

Over the last month, I have made a great deal of art, a lot of which I will be posting very soon. I’ve learned a bit about needle-felting, and I discovered ShrinkyDinks. I’ve also been making a whole bunch of collage-type art. It’ll all be posted in due time, as some of the pieces are [...]

After having countless lives taken from them, the deer population decided that they’d had enough. When you touch a ghost, do you go right through it? How about when you hit it with a car? Why don’t we see what poor ol’ Hank has to say? ————————————————————————————- Media: Deer and smoke (migrating ungulates) are from two natural [...]

When the cloud hit the deserted coast, we stood, legs trembling; aspen stumps. Excited sky dripped down our skin-turned-bark; brought us to the ground like statues of sugar. After months of throat-itch drought, with its skin-flaking bays for moisture, we find ourselves drenched bare, cheeks dissolving in electric earth. Expanding grasses find freedom [...]

Solanum infernadentis, the helltooth potato, is Canada’s only predatory potato. Unlike the closely-related winged potato of western Canada, this rare species is virtually immobile, relying mostly on its ability to camouflage and pull itself into the ground using its shallow root system. Concealed, it waits for pronghorns or other large ungulates. Occasionally, as shown in [...]

Here are two cut-and paste creations I worked on over the winter break. I’m really, really happy with how they turned out, and very excited to make some more. Keep in mind that the scanner cropped the edges, so you don’t get the full thing on here. Thanks to everyone for their company while I [...]

The whited-out streets are ours, Fresh snow glimmering under neighbourhood lights, Illuminating the few trees still left on this block— A less-than-perfect stage, but it’ll do. * You can be little red riding hood, I’ll be the wolf; Or be Grettel, lose Hansel, I’ll follow your crumbs; Perhaps be Rapunzel, and let down your wet [...]
