Being an artist can be as challenging as it is rewarding, especially when it comes to funding your dreams. Luckily, jobs are becoming more remote and flexible, and there are plenty of opportunities that can fit your needs and lifestyle…

Turtles! I have written about turtles before, but these are special turtles. Sky-bound turtles. Flying their route from Tokyo to Honolulu and back again. Catching the jet stream on the back of an Airbus 380 powered by four Rolls Royce Trent 900 turbofan engines.

Yonex has done whatever high school student dreams of doing more than anything... yes, more than anything. Design a foam pad capable of protecting an egg from certain doom! Watch the video to see...

Houseboating in Japan is somewhat different than what I am used to in North America. There is certainly the same amount of beautiful (albeit different) scenery to behold and alcohol-fuelled singing is equally present:

Please share!! 💏❤️🎉🗻🌅

If anyone knows the couple in the photos below, please pass this along to them as I think it would be a wonderful and unexpected keepsake of a precious moment in their lives

Without a doubt, the best part of the shoot was when a Japanese woman tried closing the door of the cigarette vending machine that she was restocking and was surprised and apologetic when she realized that she was closing it on Blaine...

It was a pretty interesting walk down the alleyway to the studio space situated on a converted floor of one of Tokyo's love hotels. The experience of walking through the winding corridors of the building past the brightly lit screens of themed rooms to find the front reception was an adventure in itself..

See if you can spot Godzilla!

We hiked the 75km trail from Bamfield to Port Renfrew (north to south), bathing in waterfalls, filtering drinking water from streams, singing made up songs (ask us about Ninny-Nat-Nat), sharing stories, eating delicious food (thanks Katrina), witnessing a bear, and bearing witness to some of the most breathtaking scenery that I have ever had the privilege to behold. There were challenges and triumphs along the way, blisters, the most delicious crabs, and the best damn burger you have ever had in your life!

Shinjuku Gyoen is a beautiful national garden about a ten minute walk from Shinjuku station in Tokyo. The garden was completed in 1906 on the site of a private mansion during the Edo period. The site is 144 acres (58.3 hectares) and has a circumference of 3.5 kilometres and is said to blend three distinct styles: French Formal Garden, English Landscape Garden, and Traditional Japanese Garden...

Alcohol tends to enhance dexterity, judgement, and coordination - three attributes that are required when working with fire - so naturally this leads to positive results. Many of which are visible noticeable in the form of burns on the dive boats the following day. It would seem, at first glance, that frizzy hair, a stuporous gait, glazed eyes, and a flaming limbo stick or jump rope wouldn't mix, but let me assure you, they mix extremely well...

The Camia II was intentionally sunk on January 8th, 2001 in 30 meters of water just off the west shore of Boracay in the Philippines. The wreck of the 30 meter long cargo ship is resting on a sandy bottom at a depth of just less than 30 meters with the top at 18 meters below the surface of the water. The ship has turned into a great artificial reef and is now home to scorpionfish, trevallies, red bass, fireworms, nudibranchs, copper sweepers, schools of batfish, and other interesting life. This video includes a swim-through of the wreck and footage of the life surrounding this great wreck.

One of the easiest ways to tell a male Hawksbill turtle (or any turtle, for that matter) from a female is the presence of a...

The nurse, too, seemed to enjoy the process as a cruel grin and maniacal flash of sadistic pleasure crossed her face as she unapologetically pressed with white-knuckled force on either side of the incisions causing the abscess explode in an eruption of blood and pus. The colours kind of reminded me of the Canadian flag... and home...

Mutianyu is a section of the wall that features both beautifully restored masonry as well as more rugged, natural parts replete with crumbling stones and overgrown vegetation twisting around the wall as it meanders through the mountain peaks about an hour north of Beijing...

Once the lanterns reach the stratosphere they are sucked up out of the atmosphere and are then propelled towards the edge of our solar system by solar winds generated by the sun.

Kenny took us diving in his Zodiac while Lyndon navigated for us on the surface.  The best part (aside from the actual diving) was getting to be human sonar and hopping in on either side of the Zodiac with masks on holding onto a rope and looking down into the depths below hoping to see a good dive spot...
