About Flying Gurnards: Haven't seen any Flying Gurnards lately. Still like odd stuff. And sometimes I do stupid stuff and call it spontaneous. True story. I also don't have travelling shoes. They broke before I left home (omen?) and since then it's been mostly bare feet and flipflops although I keep killing them and consequently am on my fourth pair. I miss home. And everybody that makes it what it is. I feel fortunate doing what I do where I am. And I am still full o' love for life!

Thanks for reading Flying Gurnards & Other Concoctions.


With tons of love, big hugs and sunny smiles

Jeff Molloy

What else can I say but: Simply. Wondrous.
Jeff Molloy's award-winning work introduces viewers to a vibrant multi-media world shaped by his deep-rooted Canadian identity: An exploration of his cherished and honest view of his cultural origins.
But Jeff is not a one-trick pony. Ever.

After spending a holiday in Cuba in 2011 he created the 'Fachada Cubana' collection and only anticipation will hold us over until we get to see what he will produce after several months of tracking through Asia with his wife Kathryn. I have this inkling that the outcome will be colorful!
After all, color, texture, human behavior and rituals, whether historical or contemporary, yield a strong influence on the creative process. True artists utilize a variety of mediums to expose what lies hidden beneath a subject's surface, and Molloy's work is a fine example of this.

I was very fortunate to have one of his pieces on my living room wall for a while and I will be for always in love with it. Other favorites? His Mixed Media Cabinets. Oh my lord. One day I will have one.

Check out his website and be prepared to get addicted...

I vividly remember the first time I saw a pair of flying gurnards. It was a mesmerizing sight, not only due to my infinite love of unknown oddities but also because of the sheer grace and allure they exuded.
What would life be like without enigmatic experiences such as these?
