Sad news from Brussels today with the death of the great Belgian author Hugo Claus. One of his greatest works was The Sorrow of Belgium, published in trade paperback by Overlook. A great classic novel in the tradition of The Tin Drum, The Sorrow of Belgium is a searing, scathingly funny portrait of a wartime Belgium and one boy's coming of age-emotionally, sexually, and politically. Epic in scope, by turns hilarious and elegiac, The Sorrow of Belgium is the masterwork of one of the world's great writers.

Here's a sneak peak at my new BirdyBear Pin collection which will be up for sale for the first time at the Down town Edmonton Farmers market (104th and Jasper ave) this Saturday from 9am to 3pm. After this I will upload some of them (those left over) to my etsy page. They are handmade: woodburnt, original drawings which are painted in high grade acrylics then varnished. The pin is gold on the back. A couple of the pins are adorned by a gemstone which is inset in the wood. Too see all the pictures I've posted and probably lots you haven't seen from other projects I've worked on click on the title of this post (it'll take you to my flickr page).
Cheers!
