Thanks little buddy. HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME Let me tell you guys a little story- The very first batch of animas I designed for 365 days of wood included the design for this whale. I liked it so much. He is so cute and dopey that I decided I would save it for when I was having a bad day and cutting out this little guy on that day would make me feel a little better. Well a bad day came and I went to cut it out but I thought to myself "this can't be my worst day of the year." So I put it away. A worse day came but I thought the same thing. Over the course of the year I went to cut it maybe 4 or 5 times but didn't - giving rise to the mantra "today is not a whale day." At some point I decided that there are no whale days. Bad days will come but they will also go. You've got to think that it's not really that bad. In the grand scheme of things it could be so much worse. So this little guy, who has been around for 52 weeks, there waiting and ready to cheer me up, took a little trip with me off a bridge. Yes, off a bridge. I set him free, his duty done, as well as 365 Days Of Wood. So I give you the 366th animal- the Blue Whale. #365daysofwood #bungie #bungiejumping #newyear #woodworking #wood #handmade #canada #thegreatwhitenorth #design #create #craftsman #animals #artproject #artwork #justgottatakethearteverywhere (at Whistler Bungee Bridge)

This was not my New Years, my New Years was so incredibly better. Best friend, bungie jumping, the Great White North, libations, fireworks, and just the most wonder-full new friends... It was the real deal. So, I give you December's animals. Farewell 2015...you were... astounding. '16, I'm comin for ya. Thank you so much to everyone who followed along with this project, your words of encouragement and constant support really helped keep me going and don't worry, I've got a couple tricks up my sleeve for you this year as well. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! #365daysofwood #newyear #woodworking #handmade #wood #daily #artproject #artwork #art #animals #create #craftsman #design

Baboons are terrifying. Seriously. Don't look them up, you'll have nightmares. ...one more, guys. One. More. #365daysofwood #woodworking #handmade #wood #create #craftsman #design #daily #artproject #artwork #art #animals #nightmare

There's a man standing out there He's almost too small to see But he looks just like Everything I've ever wanted to be His back is towards me His silhouette cut by the sun I make my way toward him But he starts to run I drop my possessions And start to give chase He's quicker than I So I'll pick up my pace I'll follow his every twist and turn Soon one of us must tire But it'll be neither he nor I For there's no way to exhaust this fire Lionfish #365daysofwood #woodworking #handmade #wood #create #craftsman #design #sealife #poetry #animals #daily #artproject #artwork #art

Well it's not Christmas anymore but here are two Turtle Doves anyway because this is the first December 26th I've woken up and not felt melancholy. I think I'm where I'm supposed to be, and more importantly doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I love my life. Im so grateful for it and everyone in it!! Don't mind me I'm just over here evolving into a big sap. Oh, and by the way.... 5. Animals. Left. #365daysofwood #woodworking #handmade #wood #create #craftsman #design #daily #artproject #artwork #art #animals #Christmas

It's been one of the most unconventional and rushed holiday seasons of my life... But I'm sitting at a friend's apartment on my favorite day of the year, looking out onto the city I live in and love, listening to Lord Huron, just having had one of the most memorable Christmas Eves of my life... Merry Goddamn Christmas everyone. I hope you are all experiencing even a fraction of the joy I am right now. #365daysofwood #woodworking #handmade #wood #animals #Christmas #christmasspirit #daily #artproject #artwork #art #create #craftsman #design #love

Of. Them. Merry Christmas indeed!! #365daysofwood #woodworking #handmade #wood #create #craftsman #daily #artproject #artwork #art #Christmas #christmasspirit #animals
