Element Skateboards POWER TO THE PLANET campaign window display

I was just in Montreal this weekend, setting up a window display of my art at Underworld Skateboards on Rue. St. Catherines. The display was for Element Skateboard's POWER TO THE PLANET campaign. I decided to stick with the colour scheme of the campaign and pair it with a spring-y nature-y vibe. I love fun projects.

Over the past four decades, Isaiah Zagar has covered more than 50,000 square feet of Philadelphia with mosaic murals. In A Dream is a documentary feature film written by Isaiah's son, Jeremiah, following Isaiah through his past and present, as an artist,husband and father.

Movie :: Coraline

Artist :: Camile Rose Garcia

"Camille Rose Garcia was born in 1970 in Los Angeles, California and grew up in the generic suburbs of Orange County, visiting Disneyland and going to punk shows with the other dissenchanted youth of that era. Her paintings of creepy cartoon children living in wasteland fairy tales are critical commentaries on the failures of capitalist utopias. Creative influences include Phillip K. Dick, William Burroughs, Henry Darger,Walt Disney, as welll as politically aware bands like The Clash and Dead Kennedys."

I couldnt have thought it, or said it better. That was from her website. which is awesome." go check it.

life gets in the way

spring is finally feeling here. cigarettes smashed into the sidewalk and wet socks from long FINALLY SPRING! walks and sunglasses and outfits and optimism. February had me feeling weary. Badly in need of some vitamin D. but I went swimming at the pool today in the slow lane and i forced myself to swim behind super slow old ladies and men in a leisurely manner. Afterwords I walked over to see my wonderful man, Adam who made me a delicious lunch and we watched Dexter. so things are always wonderful somewhere in between and the harumfs and sighs and wonderings of when things will be a little warmer and better and easier

Kuki Gallman

in the vein of awesome women living in Africa, I just finished reading " I dreamed of Africa" by Kuki Gallman. They made a movie of her life that did the trick at 16, but her poems and her writing is a million times more amazing. her story is beautiful and hearbreaking.

Mirella Ricciardi

I was given Mirella Ricciardi's book "African Visions" when I was about 15, and obsessed with everything African..Her photographs carry the warmth and vibrancy of life that I associate with my own experiences on the continent and her life as a woman photographer in the late sixties and early seventies remain a symbol of independence and empowerment to me.
