Winnipeg!

I was back in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. These are a couple pieces I did for some friends. The top is for a boys bedroom.

I haven't posted anything in a while. Sorry to anyone who actually checks this thing from time to time. I'll try to post more frequently.

The "Electric Hurricane" colab project had a group of us passing around large panels, each taking turns painting our own small parts of what turned out to be a larger collaborative work. The show opens tonight at General 54 starting at 7 pm. There will be music, drinks and art.. duh.

The Show at General 54 will also serve as the official launch of the new YPF yearbook. It is a 150 edition publication, featuring the unique contributions including silkscreen prints, hand drawings, wood cuts, photographs and lovely tidbits. Each book contains original work from each of the individual artists of the YPF. Contributing YPF artists include James Braithwate, Emily Birnbaum, Dessa Harhay, Aaron McConomy, Jen Storey, James Kerr, Amy Wong, Krissy Longtin, Neil Doshi, Milena Rogilic, Adam Gorley, and Danijela Pruginic. This year we have invited super-special guest artists Tyson Bodnarchuk, Fred Casia, Amber Albrecht and Shawn Keruneru to participate.

On Friday night be sure to head down to Off The Hook (1021 St. Catherines) for the "Montreal Munny Robot Invasion" show.

Hope to see you all out in the next couple of days!

BATMAN!

I was asked to do a commission piece of Batman the other day as a Christmas present. It was one of the more fun commissions I've had to do. So, here are a few of the pieces I turned out. I've been meaning to do a series of classic super heroes for a while now, so I suppose this will get me started. I think I'll do the Hulk next.......

Stylus Magazine

If you live in Winnipeg, be sure to pick up this months copy of Stylus Magazine. I did the cover for the Dec/Jan issue.

Here's the cover I did a few years ago.

Making Babies
So, last week I spent most of my time at the Furni workshop making baby monster lamps for the big Souk@SAT sale that passed last weekend.

I think I cut out something like 60 or so monsters.

The template.

Mary was there too but she didn't help at all. ..... Hmmm... I think I'll put her to sleep.

The finished lamps.
$50. each

For those of you looking for something to do this Thursday, you can check out the "100 - Trexis For The Library" benefit at Camion de Pompier. I did a piece for it and it will be up for grabs there starting at 6pm December 20th.
See you there!

Coudal Partners: Swap Meat

Yes, I've been swapped! I sent in a piece to Coudal a while back and yesterday I got a package in the mail containing a bunch of 7" records from Chicago's Hi-Ball Records Catalogue.
How does it work? Well basically, you send in something that you've been producing and selling yourself. If they like it, a few things can happen: 1. nothing. If you send something mass produced, etc it will probably go unnoticed. 2. You'll get swapped. So, they will send you something cool that another swapper has sent in. 3. You'll get swapped and featured on the site. 4. You'll get swapped, featured and commissioned to produce the item to be sold on the Coudal site. COOL! Check out : http://www.coudal.com/swapmeat/ for more info. I traded this.....

For this! Awesome! I spent all last night listening to the 9 records I got. And they are all pretty rad.

So, here are some pieces I did for the 2nd annual "It's Probably Worth More Than That" show here at HQ. I went back to the glossed tile thing. If you want one, they're $50. each
