Portage

This is a self-portrait done last summer when I wanted to run screaming from my apartment, steal the nearest canoe and blast off into the closest body of water. The design was printed with a cut-out paper stencil on a blank silk-screen and therefore exists only on one shirt (and in this picture).

This year I have managed to soothe the savage beast. Here I am paddling with my six-year-old in the bow on Lake Louisa in Quebec. He just overcame his fear of the canoe ("Oh no, not the canoe. Much too tippy!") It turns out he's a fine little paddler!
