John & Sons Oyster House – BEFORE AND AFTER chalkboards

 

When I was asked to re-do the boards at John & Sons, the new Oyster bar on Yonge Street, at Balmoral, gold leaf somehow popped into my head and I decided to take on a new venture – gilding the chalkboards.   This was a bit of a tricky task, but the finished results were stunning.  Applying the sizing, then the gold leaf and finally filling all the gold borders in with chalk – BEFORE AND AFTER:

Moving up the ladder….at Weslodge – Before and After

By far the trickiest chalkboard yet – 16 feet high, a bar in the way, leaning precariously over expensive glass light fixtures.  Before, during,  and after at Weslodge, 480 King Street West.

Le Gourmand

The new chalk walls I just completed at Le Gourmand – 152 Spadina Avenue.

The images are French agricultural woodcuts from the mid 1800s – A farmer with his scythe, a woman with a bundle of wheat on her back, and a milkmaid…
