Introducing Claude

This past February, while visiting Maria in England, she kindly offered me this claw. The idea behind it was that I would get back into drawing, as she purchased it from the Tate Modern with that in mind. Instead, I found many other functions for it, such as a poking device, a prank tool (putting it under my roomate's bed covers with just the nimble fingers pertruding), and most recently, a travel companion. I have finished my undergraduate degree in Political Science at McGill, and I am off to France at least until January to travel and to work as a guide at Vimy Ridge. Claude, as I have named him, will accompany me on this voyage to France, and hopefully to many other corners of Europe.

Sometimes I feel a phantom poke in the night.

I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans you and Claude will get into this year! Bring it on!

well hello my readership of three. i am pathetically posting anonymously because i can't understand the slavic instructions on blogger from croatia. also, i thought i had put my pictures from paris on my usb, but apparently not. but rest assured, claude is safe and sound. it's too hot to take him out everyday, so he stays in the shade of my backpack and reads jeeves.
