show and tell






My friend Jude has recently opened SHOW AND TELL GALLERY, and while moseying around town on my bycicle, I decided to finally check out the Gallery's wares by dropping by their newest show GET OVER IT, with work by Steve Powers, Greg Gossel and Greg Lamarche. the show was pure design and painting bliss. Ive been hearing big things in magazines throughout North America about Greg Lamarche, and his work packed a punch in person. Yummy colours, collage, typography and graffiti inspired artwork.
You can check SHOW AND TELL GALLERY'S website here.http://showandtellgallery.com/
Then go check out Greg Lamarche's site too.http://www.greglamarche.com/ No regrets I promise!

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.

Movie :: Coraline




speaking of Coraline, here is the trailer. Im obsessed with everything in it. the animation. the music. the hilarity of the secondary characters. please go see it. Coraline 3-D or bust.

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.

OH also, doesnt her work remind you of the crazy "other" mom in the stop motion animation CORALINE, which just came out. and which is also AWESOME. I saw it twice in theaters and would be down with seeing it again.

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

(And the music is awesome too.)


no thang!

lordy, its been tooo long since i posted. I have a new studio space and I am eating sour key candy and listening to bon iver while not working. And feeling guilty about it. Life is far and away, wonderful, as it is getting warmer and my bike lock has defrosted and I found a new lovely place to buy croissants in the morning.
