Apparently Patient Whales was #597 on some kind of college radio chart last month! I'll take it, considering only CFMU in Hamilton has it so far (but Kamloops just asked for a copy, so we're hitting the big time)

A list of albums on a college radio chart numbered 582-616, with Patient Whales - Patient Whales Ate The Sea at number 597

Shook the acoustic rust off at an open mic the other night. Felt good to play some Patient Whales tunes outside the house for the first time

Received an email telling me I didn't get a residency I had applied for. Got a chuckle at the first option in my Gmail auto-response list. Imagine just sending back "Bummer."?

Built these 5 pedals for someone starting a new rig. They gave rough parameters, but I was told to pick 5 that made sense. A tough choice and a lot of anxious drilling and hand-painting. Came out well in the end and they are happy!

A little gift for my wife, who is both encouraging of the weird monsters I draw in my sketchbook and is also currently doing a lot of Duolingo (fun to try out some new acrylic markers too)

In case you're wondering, this high school drawing proves I peaked creatively at 16. If I ever get a tattoo...or a van to airbrush...

A pencil crayon drawing, done in high school by a 16-year-old Paul Watson, of a shirtless man with falcon wings and lightning coming from his eyes, riding a Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle through the air. The exhaust has ribbons coming out, and the tires are glowing with electricity. In the background is another man, arm outstretched as he is trapped in trailing ribbons.
