Sorry folks, but we must postpone this amazing show til a future date.  I will release the info as soon as it is available!  Bunk!!

Our gallery is proud to present an exhibit by Vancouver art & junk sculpturalist Connell Ewing.  Tony & I knew Connell back in Nelson, I went to the Kootenay School of art with him.  He is a wild and prolific artist who makes art out of almost anything.  As if the evening couldn’t be more exciting, live electronic music sensation Zawaduk & Gwill will be performing live at the Shampoo-Motor Ranch. Friday, October 16, 7-10 pm.

We are back from our journey north to Whitehorse.  holly13My beautiful little sister was the cool-headed star of her wedding day.  Check “Holly Day” for pics coming up shortly.  The art exhibit was very well attended indeed and many left with my new mini paintings.  As soon as we returned we were off again, to break down shows at Taf’s in Vancouver and Fort St Café in Victoria.  While passing through Cumberland we discovered a new gallery and bistro, called the Gatehouse. Very nice, extensively renovated heritage building. They offered me a show for October!

new show, DUSKIES

Coming soon to Whitehorse Yukon!

DUSKIES

Working furiously in the heat to bring a big batch of new paintings to the Guild Hall in Whitehorse.  A great, DYI venue!  This show features lots of almost miniature pieces, 7″ x 7″, including the two featured here on the invite, which I finished up today.  The title, Duskies, for me, is an expression of the magic I feel when in the Yukon.  The endless dusk, the joy, the sadness.  And the wonderful animal mythology.

a new enterprise – MegaBrand Sign Shop!

•July 16, 2009 • 1 Comment

 

My friend Skye and I had a killer garage sale last week, sign shopand I launched my new mini business, signs for sale.  Or to give away when the mood strikes, or to trade.   I have been feeling a bit guilty about producing art that most people can’t afford.  I have always liked the idea of art for the masses.   I like that unpolished folk art too.  So if you are in PR or specifically Cranberry, have a look by the front door.  All signs are $10-$40.   I’ll take custom orders too.  Examples:  RIGHT TO BIKE                             YOUR IDEAS ARE AMAZING                                 PLEASE NO FLYERS                                   KEEP OUR POWER PUBLIC                           GREAT NEIGHBOUR AWARD                               GROW SALAD, NOT SOD!

RIGHT TO BIKE!!

LATEST SHOW, ‘LOVELOCK’, Vancouver

•July 6, 2009 • 1 Comment

tafs4      We had a magical night in Vancouver last week.  The opening was at Taf’s Café on Granville, it’s a good place to show art.  It was fun to look at art in a relaxed party atmosphere.  Huge thanks to my friend Connell for setting up this gig.  Connell also arranged for some really excellent live entertainment.  André performed lovely spoken word with beats supplied his cool friends.  Look at the photo below, he actually performed with my art projected onto him!! Later in the evening, an old friend from the Kootenays did a killer DJ set!  We will be bringing Zawaduck to Powell River for sure!  What really made the night were all the old friends that came out of the wordwork.  It was a wonderful night.   tafs5
