hello! i have been a fan of your blog and lookbook for a bit now and noticed you go to school in toronto. i currently live in the us and want to move to toronto myself once i graduate this spring. i don't know too much about the area outside of my online readings and was wondering if you could give me any advice of what are cool areas/neighborhoods to live in. we seem to have a lot of overlapping interests so i would trust your tastes :) also what are the people as a whole like in the area (nice etc)?

thanks so much!

anywhere west of bathurst but not as far as dufferin. cheaper, young people, cool bars, great vintage shopping, good eats! people are the same in every city but toronto just has more of them because it's a bigger city. haha i love it, once you're there i can give you my topmost recommendations on where to shop/eat/drink (to the best of my knowledge).

Erika Altosaar said...

very beautiful works! quite delicate and thoughtfully drawn. i'm interested to hear more about your concept. i have also been considering space, but not thoroughly, and i can't understand why i am so intrigued by space.

i'm also an art student. i've enjoyed reading through your last few posts! it's exciting to read about another art student's experiences in a much different place. i'm quite fresh to documenting my own works in an online community. perhaps you could check out my blog (or flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/nicoande) and we could engage in some old-fashioned ARTISTIC DIALOGUE!

cheers to you!

i like the sound of that! looked through your stuff - had too much fun!

Natalie said...

I regrettably have not been to your site in a while, and I am jealous at how your mind is constantly blooming with these images. You are truly talented to be able to create some of these images. You are like a poet with your texture. There is something so simplistic to your works that just makes them immaculate (to me), and in turn, not simplistic in any sense of the word. I can only hope to achieve this kind of clarity and exactness of my sonic creations...the audible is such a different world than what comes of sight.

Erika Altosaar said...

Oh wow thank you! Come back more often? I'd love to hear from you more frequently

John said...

I will try to visit more frequently. If only my words meant so much in their present avenues. In all honesty though, it looks and sounds like you are in a very nice place, and I wish you the best in your accomplishments that have brought you thus far, and hope there are many more that come soon for you.
