Keele & Dundas w. lanes

Just a few steps from Toronto's hall of fame the Midas wall. nice spot to paint with subway line facing exposure.

Hook Line & Sinker

I did these Woody and Felix characters


Unfortunately I only have the unfinished Kane 1st outline for this production...I will post the completed piece when I get back up there, oh yeah -it's a rooftop.


These two characters above by Kwest

Green Lady

She looks like her name would be Doris..or Mabel..
a clean rifle is a clean conscience

Toronto Transmission

Yet another tight narrow laneway making it hard to get dead-on photos.








Kwest absolutely kills it every time
the video below is part of the journey downriver to the bunker from my last installment

The bunker of Sandy Gray

From March to mid November in 2006 myself, and a small crew of film carpenters built two bunker-like cottage loft studio treehouse things at the end of an undisclosed lake somewhere {i'm not at liberty to say where, or for whom}. I learned so much about framing and all aspects of building that year.So much fresh air, hard work and good food -I don't think I've ever been in such good shape before or since. All the materials had to come downriver on a sketchy barge towed by an even sketchier boat. Many challenges, and towards the end of the job the cold was one of the worst. Still -easily the best job I've ever had. Any job where you can be swimming with a beer in hand while the steaks are grilling on the firepit just ashore five minutes after you quit for the day is pretty allright with me.
The living room and kitchen. Running water pumped from the lake and ran through a purifier, Propane powered stove etc. and generator. Completely off the grid.

A very clean, modern look for a cottage yes?







Above you see the world's most grandiose outhouse to be-with loft and picture window and tons of storage space. 16 feet tall.
Above is the first structure we built on this property. smaller. Known as the bunkie
The walls in the photo above are retracted back to reveal the 3 faces of reflective glass. the walls are clad in aluminum siding and move on wheels locked into sliders in the ceiling portion of the soffit. The front facing panel folds down on a crank and pulley system =it tucks itself into the ceiling overhanging the deck when in windows revealed position. The whole compound locks up like a fortress. as you can see below. no cottage break-ins going down here.
I wish it was mine...
