Many years ago, on a particularly vile early Spring day, the sort where the calendar sings “April” but one only sees filthy piles of melting slush, I exclaimed in frustration, “Oh Toronto, you windy rathole!” I’ve always liked the sound of that phrase, and decided to use it for my Toronto sketchbook.
After eight months of travel in 2009, I decided to make my permanent home in Toronto, Canada. Was this decision rooted in sentimentality or a lack of imagination? I sometimes wonder, but the truth is I quite like the city.
