Ken Lum map sightings
In the winter I had a commission to design the conceptual map that went along with the Ken Lum exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was a great job and people seemed to be pretty happy with the results. The Gallery has had to order another 10K because the first batch of maps were all taken - the show has been very popular. I happened to have my camera with me the other evening when I saw a girl on Robson Street holding her copy!
It made me think of other 'sightings' the map has had. Lisa Parker was at the gallery on opening night and took this photo, which she then posted on her flickr site:
The map has been indexed on the Canadian Design Resource:
And it has also made its way onto Wallace Koopman's artlog where he shows a nice composition of lunch and map in the gallery cafe:
Well isn't that sweet. Thanks folks.

old mykleby farmhouse
Here are two drawings and a photo from our time in Norway, July 2009.
When days were very long.
The house is kept in perfect condition both inside and out. It was built about 150 years ago. It's amazing. Seems like they had originally used birch bark (and birch tar) for the underlayer on the roof.
