  | Playing Catch-Up Hello again! It's been so busy around here that I haven't had the chance to post any updates about anything. So here are just a few pictures from some recent graphic recordings... all of them incredibly fun in their own ways. Above is a picture from the YWCA of Calgary's "Imaginarium" - a special space they're using for discussions about their future home. This will be an exciting journey to watch! On the left are pictures from Mayor Nenshi's recent Campaign Volunteer Kick-Off Party (did I just say something about an exciting journey to watch??), and a snippet from a discussion held at the amazing City Hall School. |
But here's what I really wanted to show you. A couple of weeks back I had the opportunity to draw some pictures at a really inspiring series of talks hosted by Calgary Economic Development. They've been holding a series of events called "Soul of the City", each of which has been about a different aspect of what makes Calgary tick. (I drew some pictures at a previous Soul of the City event, which you can see here.)
This one was about local food and featured talks by local chefs John Jackson and Connie De Sousa of CharCut fame; Luke Kimmel of the Leaf Ninjas (yay Ramsay!); Eliese Watson, Calgary's best-loved beekeeper; and Ron Finley, who came all the way from Los Angeles to tell us about how he'd started a local movement in his own hometown growing healthy food on boulevards and in empty lots. (He's got a pretty inspiring TED Talk on this subject, which you can see here.)
This evening ended with the chance to taste some of Calgary's local fare at the SAIT Culinary Campus - a rather delicious spot to visit.
Hope you enjoy the pictures - they were extremely fun to draw!
