Mäusebunker: Research Institutes for Experimental Medicine

Mäusebunker or the Research Institutes for Experimental Medicine was planned in 1971 and completed in 1981 as a purpose built facility for animal experimentation. The construction of the building ballooned from 4 million to 126 million Deutsche marks and opened to a general dislike from the public because of it’s grim purpose and the cold, evil aesthetic of this brutal, monolithic laboratory. It has opened and closed multiple

Natur-Park Südgelände Nature Reserve and Sculpture Garden

One day Rose and I were wondering around without a plan but to just explore. We came across a garden colony which is a community of small plots of land and all have tiny unique little gardens and houses. They are found all over Germany but the one we visited that day is one of the largest in the country. Kolonie Sonnenbad occupies an area that is about

Photos from Hà Nội, Ninh Bình and Nam Định

This past weekend, I drove up to Hanoi Friday afternoon and took care of some things I can’t do in Nam Dinh and visited a few friends I hadn’t seen in a while. Saturday morning I continued to drive around on my motorbike, running errands and along the way I took some photos. After that, I drove another 100km south through Ninh Bình State to get to Tam

The Bierpinsel. An Abandoned Example of German Brutalism

Summer is over so I thought it would be good to start posting some of my photos from my travels from the previous summer. In 2023, I started my three months of traveling in Shanghai, China for two weeks. There we scooted and biked around the city and ate all sorts of spicy noodles and dumplings, had street food, pastries and baked goods and ate a variety of

Collective Arts Brewing Beer Labels

Over the last few months I have been lucky enough to have my artwork featured on two different cans for Collective Arts Brewing, based out of out of Ontario, Canada. I love how well both came together and look across a can. this is the first time that I have had my artwork on a beer label and I'd definitely like to do more in the future. Below

The Paradise that is Garden Island, Australia

Long before Amy and I arrived in Australia or even knew that we would one day in the near future end up here, we dreamed of getting to Australia so we could visit the private island that her grandparents own.  They built the house and landscaped the rest of the island creating a little garden paradise on a tiny island. We were unsure that we would ever get

Walks, Hikes, Bikes, and Canyoning in and around the Sydney Region

Over the last few months Amy and I have been doing at least one long hike or walk every two weeks to explore the city and the surrounding area.  Sydney is encompassed by three major national parks on all three sides (Ku Ring Gai to the North, The Blue Mountains to the West, and The Royal National Park to the South) all of which have a larger footprint

A quick trip to Auckland, New Zealand

A few weeks ago I had to quickly leave Australia to reapply for my visa and so I took a quick 24 hour trip to Auckland, New Zealand.  I wasn't too excited to go as I went by myself, without Amy, and I didn't have my snowboard with me so I couldn't take advantage of the mountains in the middle of winter.  Coming from Canada I saw little

A New Chapter: Moving from Canada to Australia

For those who don't know last month, after 3 years I left Vancouver and relocated, with my partner Amy to the sunny shores of Australia.  This all came about very quick.  We decided and two weeks later arrived in Sydney.  It was a chaotic few weeks in which we had to figure out my visa, sell most of our things, find someone to take over the apartment lease,
