No markets for me this year.
But I heard you loud and clear: you wanted minis of your favourites. 🌻

So here they are.

A very limited series of sunflowers, bison and hockey pieces, plus a few I’ve never made before that I’m not quite ready to show you yet.

All handmade, layered and stained in my studio.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Perfect Christmas gift, early birthday gift, or that piece you’ve been eyeing for a while.

This is your chance.

Dropping November 1st.

Comment which one you’re most excited for: sunflower, bison or hockey.

And give me your best guess at what I’m making special for this drop.

Thanksgiving always makes me think about the little things we sometimes overlook.

A kind word, someone sharing my work, a familiar name popping up in the comments, or knowing something I created has found a special place in someone's home.

This year has given me plenty of reasons to be thankful, and so many of them have come from the people who have supported this little studio of mine.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with good company, good food and a little time to enjoy what matters most.

THE ART OF FRAMING

How do you frame a memory?

Not just a landscape.

Not just mountains, water, rock and road.

But a place where the second someone sees it, they know exactly where they are.
They know those bends in the road.

They remember what it felt like to come around that corner and see Muncho Lake stretched out beside them.

Because some places don't just live in photographs.

They live somewhere in your soul.

When I created this piece for the Alaska Highway Series, I knew the frame had to hold more than shapes, dimensions and colour.

It had to hold the feeling of that place and somehow become part of the journey itself.

The road was such an important part of this entire series.
It connected every stop, every landscape and every story along the Alaska Highway.

So I carried that idea right into the frame.

The repeating pattern around the piece almost becomes a continuation of the journey.
Mile after mile.
Turn after turn.
And inside it, the road itself winds through the mountains and follows the edge of that unmistakable turquoise water.
Those specific bends.
That specific view.

A moment so recognizable to those who have travelled it that very little explanation is needed.

And when this piece hung alongside the rest of the Alaska Highway Series, the frame had another job too.

It needed to belong to this piece, but it also needed to belong to the larger story surrounding it.

That is something I think about with every frame I build.

Sometimes I'm framing a piece of art.

And sometimes, I'm trying to frame a memory.

I’ve been piecing something together for you.

You’re only getting a little glimpse today, mostly because I’m not quite ready to show you the rest.

This time, I’m trying something a little different.
Stay tuned.

For now, I want to know: what do you think I’m working on?

And just like that...

The last piece from my Alaska Highway Series has found its home.

The Dueling Rams are officially sold, and somehow, I don’t think I could have imagined a more fitting place for them to go.

They’re headed to someone who absolutely loves sheep hunting.

When I started this series, I knew what the Alaska Highway meant to me. I knew the places I wanted to capture, the memories attached to them, and the stories I hoped the wood could somehow tell.

What I didn’t know was what this series would become once I shared it with all of you.

I didn’t expect the stories you would share with me.

I didn’t expect people to recognize a mountain, a stretch of highway or a familiar landscape and immediately tell me what that place meant to them.

I didn’t expect the conversations, the attention, the support, the people who followed along from one piece to the next, or the incredible feeling of watching these pieces leave my hands and go home with people who connected with them for their own reasons.

This series was the biggest and most challenging thing I had ever taken on.

And somewhere along the way, it changed me too.

It changed the way I look at my work.

It changed the way I think about the stories a piece can carry.

And it reminded me that sometimes you create something because it means something to you, only to discover it means something entirely different to someone else.

Every single piece from the Alaska Highway Series has now found its home.

I don’t think there are enough words, or enough character spaces in a Facebook post, to properly explain how grateful I am for what you all gave back to me through this series.

So I’ll just say this.

Thank you.

For seeing it.
For sharing your stories with me.
For following along.
For coming to the gallery.
For taking these pieces home.

And most of all, for reminding me why I make things in the first place.

What a ride this has been.

Every decision matters.

When I start a custom logo build, I'm not just cutting wood.
I'm making decisions the client will look at every single day.

What kind of wood carries the right weight for this brand?
What finish brings out the contrast without losing the detail?
What does the border do to the overall feel?
How do the layers sit against each other?
How does it read from across a room versus up close?

Every element of their logo gets thought through the same way.
The lines, the negative space, the hierarchy of what your eye lands on first.
Nothing is placed without a reason.

You've already seen the finished piece.
These photos are what it looked like to get there.
Because a logo piece built right isn't just a sign on a wall.

It's the first thing people see when they walk into your space, and it should feel like it was made to be there.

I was working on a client’s logo piece when my brain asked for a little break from the workshop.

I’d seen the trend where you ask AI to turn your personality and work into a cartoon duo, so I gave it a try. Apparently, Blind Creek Studios comes with a fox now.

I have to admit, the little tool belt and the mountain artwork are pretty good.
The boots covered in sawdust? Also fair.

But you know me and my work.
Did it get me right, or is there something missing?

THE ART OF FRAMING

Sometimes a frame is meant to be big, bold and very much a part of the artwork.

And sometimes, the art of framing is knowing when to let the piece inside take the lead.

For this horse, I wanted the frame to be quieter.

The warm wood gives the piece structure and contrast against the dark background, but it doesn't compete with what's happening inside.

And then I broke one of the rules.

The horse doesn't stay neatly inside the frame.

Parts of her actually overlap it, bringing the artwork forward and creating another layer of dimension. Instead of feeling like you're looking at an image contained within four borders, she almost feels like she's coming out of the piece.

That little detail completely changes the relationship between the artwork and the frame.

It's one of the things I love about building my own frames.
I'm not choosing a frame after the artwork is finished.
I can design the artwork and the frame together, deciding where one ends, where the other begins, and sometimes, where they cross over.

Every frame doesn't need to make a statement on its own.

Sometimes its job is simply to make the artwork inside it stronger.

This original piece is currently available for sale.

If you'd like to know more about it, including dimensions and pricing, send me a message.

Two initials. One name. One story.

At first glance, this piece is simply a pair of initials and a family name, but I think the things we hang in our homes can mean so much more than what they say.

Because sometimes a piece doesn’t need to tell an elaborate story. Sometimes the most important story is simply two people choosing to build one together. 🤎
