I just finished painting this new display card yesterday for Aaron Rossner's special figurine project which is now only available at my lil shop Toutoune Gallery on 998 Bathurst St. in Toronto, ON. *Blessed*

Aaron Rossner (also known as @wingnut_toys on instagram) is an avid toy collector, an amazing artist and tinkerer who lives in Victoria, BC. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person yet, but I've been a fan from afar for many years.

Check out his instagram feed and visit Toutoune Gallery too to view some photographs of the figurines from this project. They are so fabulous! Every single one is so precious. Aaron is a master at recyling funny bits of wood, which you will surely notice if you view any of the figurines this painting is based off of.

Will share more about this project in the following posts. : o )

The image above was painted with acrylic-gouaches on watercolour paper. (A mix of Holbein Acryla Gouache, Turner Design Gouache and Turner Acryl-Gouache)

Prints of this image will be available as 5x7 postcards very soon and will be purchasable at the store and in my webshop as soon as I get them back from the printers.

Brought a bunch of these pins from my personal collection to my store: Toutoune Gallery, 998 Bathurst St, Toronto, ON.

Maybe some of you have already bought and taken home a few of these?

march excerpts

"Or I could mention Merchard softly turning her pages." Eileen Myles, Bread and Water, page 107 in this edition or in the story Bread and Water

"I didn't do anything. You could have gone to any memory. Why are you letting yourself be defined by the bad?" the last few pages of a zine from Marisa Fulper Estrada from toutoune gallery

In attempts to offset losses of the weekend (rest, work, ASL class, a screening booked, Rachel's birthday party, 340 at the vet) I sleep late Sunday, get a chai (marginally better hot than cold from the terrible cafe I won't name) and a basque cheesecake slice (always soggy, but better than not having cheesecake), read an interview Jess has out in the world, knit more with stormy violets, see Daisies at the lightbox, finish Bread and Water on the train home. A woman came in right before the movie started and sat to my left, asked if that was a real book I was reading in such a precious format, told me she loves Eileen Myles, and asked which location I worked at and where she could get the book. I almost gave her my copy, but I'm precious about it, too, and also I felt bad there's a scuff on the front of it. And I know I have a copy hidden in my stock for online so there is one for her if she looks for it with us. Now I'm home and watching Nina breathe.

I have a doppelganger in my new neighbourhood, but I haven't seen them yet (and likely wouldn't realize). The woman who owns the pet store I get hay from always mistakes me at first for someone else, who she's told me about now. At the terrible cafe I won't name, the owner who I rarely see says "oat latte, right," when I go to order, which is not my order, and she seems confused when I ask for something else. She always asks me how I'm doing on my day off, like I'm supposed to have a different job where I often work weekends--which I used to, but she wouldn't know that, and so I think she sees this double when she looks at me, too. Note to self to return to the double and the uncanny--I've been a bit obsessed since I read that article to help my sister's friend Kayley on an assignment a few years ago, and have a book including those chapters, somewhere. Now it makes me think of Lovecraft's Henry Akeley, that shiny metal jar on the shelf, the mostly empty chair.

wild i first posted this on tumblr back in 2012...

i don't remember where i found this image but i was excited to see someone take a photo of their tiny cat sitting on this chair because i used to have this chair when i was but a tiny little girl myself and i loved it very much. i wish i could find another one, i would buy it for my cats to sleep on.

i recently printed a holographic sticker with this image. i don't have an operating webshop at the moment but i sell the sticker at my brick and mortar shop called Toutoune Gallery in Toronto at 998 Bathurst St. : o )

I guess I haven’t posted about this yet (on tumblr) but last year on October 8th, 2021, I opened a gallery/shop in Toronto, at 998 Bathurst st.
