Takashi Murakami: Entering another world
The city is a blanket of white this week (where DID that snow come from?). In times like these, we all need a little extra colour in our lives. Lucky for us in Vancouver we have the Vancouver Art Gallery's exhibition of Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats It's Own Leg. And wow did we get a little extra colour.

The Palette Project #23: Parking Lot at Sunrise
This is another edition of the palette project-- we're exploring inspiring places in Canada and the colours that make them beautiful. This week, we're looking at something a little different: a parking lot. No, it's not on a heritage building list or is otherwise notable for its location, in fact it is a Tim Hortons just outside of Saint John, NB (pretty Canadian right?). What we were drawn to from this inspiration photo was not the place, but the time of...
