WELCOME  to the reincarnation of thombarker.com. A few years ago, while I was moving, I inadvertently let my claim to the name lapse. Some company in Florida  hijacked it and tried to sell it back to me for an astronomical fee. Since I was in the middle of a bit of a creative sabbatical (yeah, let‘s call it that), I let it go until they gave up on it.

I toyed with the idea of making the new site one of those third person accounts, you know, as if I had a whole management team behind me, but I did that for years and it never helped me so I’m coming clean. I'm as indie as indie gets. Of course, indie is the new cool, so I guess you could say I'm finally jumping on the indie-and-proud bandwagon.

MUSICIAN:  A singer-songwriter in the alt-Folk/Rock ("Frantic Folk") genre with a brand new album. I have performed at festivals and in clubs from Ontario to B.C. to Texas. I am currently seeking members for a band to support the new CD.

ARTIST:   As a painter and carver I have participated in several exhibitions. I'm currently working on new series of paintings and cedar masks. BUY my art here.
