Paint Rocks Submissions

On March 25th OCAD will be hosting a fundraiser that will include some live music and paintings for sale to raise money for the Graduate show catalog. These are two 10x12's that I'm planning on submitting.

Sketchbook stuff, was experimenting with layering glazes of inks/colour combos, a lil bit of optical mixing.

Little Bit of Process

Two paintings I've started since the end of the Holidays, have access to the studio again! Much needed. The landscape is inspired by my recent trip to Jasper, all coming together with the rest of my thesis work, finding some new acrylic techniques that are really working before jumping in with oils. The portrait is of friend and coworker from out west Qaamina Sam, this is going to change quite a bit before it is finished. Like I said, process.

a painting of my sister, first portrait ive done in a little while, some prep drawings from my sketchbook too. All acrylic, the final piece is 4'x4'. I like how shes holding her head and her hands just drip from her face as they dematerialize.

FAM 5th Anniversary Live Paint 21/12/10

Great night at Andy Pool Hall, thanks to everybody who came to check out the art, holding it down with me on the 6x4 canvas was Furious Fil, Tender Tong, Jazzy Jules and Angry Anja. Awesome to see the arts come together, the music, the dance and the paint.

Beatbox Canada Championships - 1st Annual

Heres a video from the 1st annual Canadian Beatboxing Competition at the Mod Club. In the beginning you can check me, Fil Matovina, Tongson Chen, Julian Altrows and 'the General' doin a live paint to some of the craziest beatboxing I've ever heard. Was a great event, props to Pierce for having us.

Final Piece, in the lovely mess of the thesis studio

The Fresh Stuff

These are a handful of paintings I have done for part of my Thesis research. Mainly explorations into different techniques in paint handling as I was figuring out how I was going to go about representing the landscape.

These are the pieces I did for the Soul Extract show at Sleeping Giant Gallery in late September,
also in the show were pieces by Tongson Chen, Julian Altrows, Filip Matovina and Nick Defina.
These pieces are all acrylic and oil on canvas. This was the jump off point for my newer work that is all based around my experience working on Vancouver Island for the last 3 summers.

Finally Here!

Its taken a long time to join the thousands out there with their work up in internet land. I'm going to post pics of some older work (this past year) and some current projects that I have on the go. The eagle has landed and is hungry, hope you enjoy.
