http://www.kaslkaos.blogspot.com

Drawbridge is an illustrated journal of my life as an artist and nature lover. I use coloured pencil, collage, or whatever it takes to say what I mean.

Finally, a new model; well, new to me anyway. I’ve seen the same six faces for a year, and while they are wonderful, it’s great to see someone new. This guy brings ‘professional’ to a whole new level. He arrives more than 15 minutes ear...

Rivers Edge, Gargantua River, Lake Superior Provincial Park. Here, an impression from latest hike on the Coastal Trail, heading from Gargantua Harbour to Warp Bay. From these two points the trail heads through shaded woodland, and eventually cat...
