My grandfather Percival and his older brother Eddy fought in the First World War, Eddy being killed by friendly fire at Passchendaele when he was only 21. My grandfather survived the war, including the infamous battle at Vimy Ridge, and enlisted and fought in the Second World War as well, which he also survived.
In his retirement years my grandfather became an avid artist, especially in water colours, of which I am lucky to have a few hanging on our walls. His son (my uncle) Gary has taken up water colour painting and does beautiful hand painted cards which he sends to his 3 sisters and others. He didn’t title this one he sent to me but I call it In Memory of Eddy, and have applied it to a stamp design in honour of Remembrance Day 2021 and the hundredth anniversary of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance.

Saw Dune for the second time last night. This time at the Richmond IMAX theatre. The sound design was even more incredible!! I want to know more about the typography that was used throughout. Details like the “numbers” on the ornithopter’s altimeter we’re so much more visible on the IMAX screen. Might try seeing the 3D version next!!

Me to Moira, “So what did you work on today?” Moira: “Some of the hardest interviews I’ve ever had to do yet.”

Activists who fled Afghanistan for asylum in Canada are frantic to get their families out after the pandemic slowed Canada's sluggish refugee reunification process, leaving them stranded and at risk of Taliban retribution for their work, refugees and advocates said.

Just saw this in the GAG newsletter—such a gorgeous stamp (other than the stacked type of course!):
