Population: 1

Bumped into an interesting situation at the printers; a custumer in front of me was reproducing some old photos of the town of Butedale (which was an old cannery town at the mouth of the Douglas Channel) so I just had to snivel in to take a peek and worm my way into the conversation (tactfully!) and heard him explaining to the salesclerk that he lived alone there. She asked how many people in total still lived in Butedale and he finally managed to clarify "just one - me".
He noted my interest, we talked a bit then he offered me one of the photos (no doubt impressed that I knew all about Butedale) introduced himself and asked if I was an artist. When I confirmed that, he mentioned that he had my Wild Salmon up on his wall. This was a wee bit puzzling since I'd sold it to someone else and though had considered making prints I was pretty darn sure I actually hadn't. What he had done was to cut out the (front page fully coloured!!) photo of me with my 'Born to be Wild Salmon' and posted it on his wall.
Hey! My work can now be found in collections from Butedale to Kitimat!

Might be worth the effort to make prints.
Oh. And if you meet someone from Butedale, the name's Lou.

Kermode/Spirit Bear addictions

When we first saw this pose Erin dubbed it the K'mirra'minnit Bear

;)

Found out last week that my bear developed a bit of a drinking problem since moving up to Stewart; the owners kept finding him with an empty beer can taped to his paw every morning while he was displayed outside the King Edward Hotel. I think it's resolved now that he's been moved inside where the owners can keep a closer eye on the poor, addiction prone critter.

Hey - maybe it's genetic...

family portrait

this here's a crop of my famous painting
(cough, cough) 'Many Eyes and Butterflies'
It contains the eyes...well, not exactly contains but rather portrays the eyes of those near,dear and related to me. See my 3 kids?? Those 3 smaller ones in the upper left. Two blues and a brown. (maybe she's more hazel)

Surreal in style; minimal in concept

Hi. I do believe I started a blog here in February but I can't find it which is just as well. Thought I was being terribly clever in calling myself Old Blodger but obviously others have come up with that before I did. I Googled and was dismayed.
Behold the power of the internet! We can now confirm our lack of originality within seconds of hatching a bright new thought. (80,257 results in .12 seconds)
