Bamboo house project →
The latest project on my mind has been renovations for a house in Japan that I bought 2 years ago today with 2 Canadian friends. Check out the photos and ideas on this website http://www.bamboohouse.tumblr.com
Sorry for silence!
I’ve gone quiet because… I guess I haven’t had much time to make art recently. This doesn’t mean that I don’t have a million ideas cooking. Just waiting for a good time to do things!
