If you don’t know Eric’s work - you’ve been missing out. #ink #canadianartist #novascotia #art #illustration
Changing up my approach to sketchbooks. Going to stop doing such finished work and use them more for messy stuff and if I want to push something further I’ll use watercolor paper. Need a place for chaos

I attended a conference for children's writers in Toronto yesterday. Our keynote speaker talked about The Courage to Create. She was very inspiring. #pyi2026 maryloudriedger2.wordpress.com/2026/10/25/t...

I liked the badly photographed menus in Chinese restaurants growing up. They wouldn’t win photo prizes, but I could tell what the dish was, even if I couldn’t read the menu. A ‘pretty’ AI photo doesn’t show what the food actually is, why would I want to buy it (also it sometimes looks like worms).
WHY are you, a restaurant, using AI for your posters????? that's literally not what your food looks like????? just use a picture of your damn food??????
I’m genuinely terrified about the rampant use of AI right now & how much it’s taken over our lives. I’m a parent to a very tech forward teen & a very art forward tween……It’s like they may have each been influenced by a parent 🤔

I really think this bird is a female right? Right! Trying to find out/research how old will it be when juvenile males & females become definitely distinguishable, 💯 definable, no questions asked. I don’t know why bird sexing troubles me so 😭 I hate not knowing things. #LBConversation #birdtalk 🪶
16 years ago my mom told me I was having a conversation with Yusof Islam. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life as a daughter a province away. I texted back Cat Steven’s? And finished paying for my groceries. Her: Yes. music.apple.com/ca/album/if-... #LBCsoundtracks #lifesoundtracks
My mother had been “rushed” from Chilliwack to B.C. women’s. Rushed my mother recounted, felt like 3 hours & they stopped along the way. I a teen didn’t read the autopsy reports my mother obsessed over, sometimes ignoring the needs of my toddler brother and forgetting me. But trying to find a cause.

My mom believed she was a medium at the time of sorts so she felt she knew this deeply. She believed this on and off throughout her life and it was reinforced by family and friends as my mother had very good intuition and brushed off anything further. youtu.be/PA5EgvX_8js?... #LBCSoundtracks
My partner just came home from the Island. I was very eager to share our new Bunny friend news. Like hello a BUNNY!!! However….he had a whale of a tail. Two whales and two tails. One big One small What Rabbit? Bunny who? Move over for HumpBacks 🐋 Mama and a little calf too.
The bird hour Friday is quiet today. Birds are taking advantage of the clear skies BOAT or if I was doing an exhibition - “Mother” looks angry but her heart is still intact at the center. #LBCconversation #birdstories #
Correction, Berwick Wren checked back in at the Manor on September 26th of this year. Last year he did not make his presence known officially until the new year but evidence was seen by eating the left over Halloween 🎃 Pumpkins and Seeds being found everywhere…..we thought it was rats 🐀….It was Wren
Berwick Wren has been back since the start of October and is up to 4 potential nesting spots he’s making in the hanging planters. I’m being a bad host. Last night I scared him at 10pm and he flew out at me. (Nest isn’t finished & barely holding onto his spot) And this morning he flew into window
Pay no attention to the top of the dresser!😂 Mother-Daughter cleaning session to redecorate turned Impromptu ADHD dresser restoration project in the moment…so much fun when Mom is late diagnosed ADHD and daughter is ADHD but it doesn’t impact her enough at school to get a diagnosis. Life is so 🤩 fun
