My Pet Skeleton Art Show ~ Strange Days



Hello All,

I'm very pleased to officially announce that I'm having an art show at "Peter Martin's Twenty King" on April 24th. The event that has been entitled "Strange Days", will be showcasing a new collection of limited edition prints that have been created over the last 10 years of my career. For those of you who are in the Kitchener~Waterloo area (which is about an hour from Toronto, Ontario, Canada) please feel free to drop by and say hello. There will be food and wine and an assortment of prints for sale (including various etchings and rare prints of my earlier work that have not previously been available for purchase).

For more details, please email mypetskeletonproductions@gmail.com.

Struwwelpeter ~ The German Mother Goose



My Oma told me stories when I was a little boy. They weren't your typical fairy tales that offered up warm happy endings. The Prince and Princess didn't live happily ever after. The poor son did not inherit a kingdom of wealth and love. There were no "Fairy God Mothers" who offered their powers and service in times of adversity. The fairy tales that were told to me were weird and spooky and cold and deadly.

My Oma would tell me the tales of “Stuwwelpeter” and reminisced of children being chased by lanky ogerish men weilding scissors who sought to cut off their thumbs. Or children who would burn to death because they played with matches when they were told not to. She would deliver these tales with tension and above all else, a great sense of humour.

This is the Struwwelpeter that lives in my head. He will be appearing at my art show in April (available as a limited edition).

Art Show Announcement...
