A good friend of mine once said, “if you want to see it, support it.” Sounds simple, but nowadays it’s way too easy to find yourself grabbing a quick bite or a fast this or that from the “big guys”. I’m guilty of it, red handed. Of course, it’s not all bad, but I’m not sure I want to be swallowed by that wave entirely just yet.

We are all looking. The question is what are we looking for? The answer isn’t always clear. And it changes. Sometimes it’s our environment that changes, and sometimes it's ourselves that change.

I rode for seventeen hours from Bangkok to Chiang Mai in a packed sleeper train equipped with a full bar that converted into a nightclub with a disco ball and fold-away tables creating a make-shift dance floor. Strangers soon turned friends and I was grateful for good company to take my mind off the fact that I was getting claustrophobic bet...

There is no security in faith. There is no promise in hope. There is only love in belief. I believe in you.

Believe in You is a short film I produced as a message to everyone following their personal quest and a reminder that you are beautiful and your journey is a reflection of that. Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in your head, in your own struggle, and I'm lucky to have so many amazing people in my life that r...

As I sit here on the couch in Bruce's newly purchased condo/studio/playground, I can't help but notice the ferocity of this man's approach to life. With several running computers, large monitors and a labyrinth of drawing tables, easels and art supplies, at first glance you might think a full corporation was running its headquarters right out of the living room. Yet, since meeting him a couple years ago, I'...

In high school I wrote a book report on the novel The Wars by Canadian author Timothy Findley. I never read the book.

Several years later, I found the same copy of it that I had accidentally forgot to return and I started to read. What I found was an eclectic and yet passionate account of a man's struggle to find love both within and outwardly in the midst of turmoil and death. The author leaves us uncertain about how...

Spend a day in my kicks and witness the creation of Sacrifice. I painted an abstract portrait of a woman representing the sacrifice women make, have made, and will continue to make at the expense of gender inequality that still exists today. I used a process of painting and collage to match the fragmented and controversial emotion of the topic. I pieced the project together with settings and things I like doing, like...

Some say that nothing great comes easy. And yet the simplest path is always the better one. Whichever way you choose, the most important thing I've learned is to never quit. Sometimes you might not feel like there's any point. Those are the most important times. The great man Sir Winston Churchill once said " If you're going through hell...keep going". DdRegalo.com
