A couple of years ago a friend of mine introduced me to a book called Microworlds by Margherita Dessany. It is a wonderful book filled with whimsical images of tiny people photographed in the world at large. The juxtaposition delighted me, and for a long time, I've wanted to play with the idea myself, just for fun. That's what I'm doing here. But, before I do, please check out some of the artists who have inspired me below.

There are probably many more artists, but these are the ones I know about. If you have some favourites, please leave me a comment, and I'll be happy to add them to the list.

The inspiration of this collection of mine will be drawn from the everyday happenings in my own life -- the ordinary things we do as we live and learn. I want to bring some fun to them. A lightness. Some humour. And maybe even a little magic. I hope you enjoy my world!

Little Helpers



I almost swept these little guys up! What were they thinking?! I mean, it's cool and all that they were trying to help, but, really, it's also kinda hopeless. One guy found a stray Halloween candy left over from the swap-party that happened after the trick-or-treating about a month ago. I suggested it might not be good to eat, but he already knew that. He looked at me like I might have a few loose marbles rolling around up there. Anyway, I thanked them for thinking of me and the hard work they've obviously been doing. It's hard to tell just by glancing around, but, honestly, I think they have made a dent. They said they were going to take a bit of a break, then get back to it. I'm going to break out the broom and dustpan, maybe even the mop and bucket, and give them a hand. It's easier when we all work together.
