Many indigenous cultures regard birds of the crow family a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and renewal. They can be seen as an omen when something significant is about to happen. In addition to this, some Indegnous cultures believe that white crows are protectors from dark forces or supernatural events and represent a good sign.

2023-06-08, Painter's notes: Callum added his final artistic touch to his dad's painting, the Transit Hotel, 711, Where Pigs Fly. I shared with Callum, Mom, and Dad how when I was his age, I would spend hours drawing on my parent's basement walls and inside my grandfather’s leather-bound encyclopedias. This led to Mom and Dad keeping me in a steady supply of paper and pencils to help hone my skills in sketching as a kid. I've never stopped drawing ever since!

Ernie the butcher sketch. Before I started my career as a graphic arts craftsman, I worked several jobs in the food industry in Toronto that included a meat processing and packaging factory. My night job in the plant was to put away the meat from the smoke ovens and clean up the bacon and hotdog processing machines from the day shift.
