Book Stand by Carol Kajorinne with Books
I commissioned Caroline Kajorinne, a young metalsmith in Thunder Bay to create a book stand for me. Her boyfriend, Kriev, did a little sculpture version of the Ugg, featured at the top of the stand, complete with little buildings and the cloud of dust the Ugg kicks up when he stomps down his path. You can see Carol's work HERE.

Helping out students at Confederation College
Had fun last week helping out
students of the film program at Confederation College, playing the lead role as
the "Liftman" - operating an elevator, getting berated mostly by the
tenants in an old apartment building. The students are from all over the world
this year - Sudharm from India, Zhenya from Ukraine, others from the Caribbean,
South America, and elsewhere. Some shooting was done in an actual apartment
building, but the students built a set in the green screen room at the College
where most of the filming was done, and allowing for some special effects.
Can't wait to see the results.
