This tedsmith.ca website will soon be the Journal page for the brand new Wonderland Graphics website, coming within the next week. Photography, Music and other Arts will continue to be a part of tedsmith.ca
The NEW Wonderland Graphics website will be more of a portfolio site with category galleries, a built in Instagram page plus a shopping option soon to follow.
Less than 7 hours to go in 2016 and I have my annual music appreciation lists online!

Just a few images from yesterday’s (birthday) visit to Fan Expo 2016. I walked away with an autographed High Fidelity photo from John Cusack plus we saw a Q&A session with John and Joan Cusack. I can’t believe that I forgot all about John’s performance in Woody Allen’s Bullets Over Broadway, one of my very favourite movies, until I was reminded of it during the Q&A. I guess. all things cannot be “top of mind” all the time. Kim got a few more autographs than I did.
