What?! Micah who? These:

I don’t get it?

Let me explain…

Each year on November 18 to 21 The Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) holds its signature fundraising event the Whodunit? Mystery Art Sale – an exhibition and sale of hundreds of pieces of original art donated by artists who are famous and not-yet-famous, including well-known and celebrity artists, OCAD faculty, alumni and students.

So, at Whodunit? ‘07 i came across these two pieces (each 5×7) i thought were pretty cool and decided to buy them and to my surprise, wait for it… were created by contempory  Canadian artist and curator Micah Lexier! Both handwritten in pencil the top says “Mitch Robertson made this.” and the bottom “Kelly Mark made this.” who btw are also established artists in their own right! Genius!!

Decided to drop my old static site and opt for a nice clean WordPress installation. My desire is to use this publishing model to express ideas both relating to my personal and professional life.

Posts including my current enrollment at UBCs Award of Achievement in Web Analytics program,  my role as Web Analyst at The Ontario College of Art & Design, side projects we at Smith & Richmond pick up or posts relating to my new baby girl arriving this August 7! All very optimistic and exciting.

More to come! Stay tuned…
