2 Guns, 1 Desk

Today was the final day of the City of Vancouver's "ReStart" mural program.  Over 2 weeks, 18 community members and youths participated in the discussion of the subject of graffiti, it's definition, impacts and rewards...with the design process resulting in the final production on this 78 foot mural today..Most of the group had little to no experience in using spraypaint, but with the help of myself and two other artist mentors (Girl23, ekons) the result was very satisfying and a less than pretty part of the neighborhood got a facelift.

View the gallery of images of the mural produced under Hastings at Raymer in East Van.

(also included a few sketches from during our meetings)

Another canvas comission out the door this week is this quadtrych (4 canvases making up a single image)

check the gallery for progress and final shots of this piece, that I'm pretty happy with.

This was a present for my good friend Pete...long overdue, and hoefully worth the wait ;)

I'm in the process of completing a tryptich

(series of three canvases making one image)

Check the gallery for the first in this series of canvases.

Back in the fall I was approached by Rubber Pixel studios to create a canvas to hang in their office.

I was given some basic ideas and input then developed a series of conceptual images for the clients to choose from.

I posted some of the canvas concepts in October, (posted here).

painted with oils, this was the largest brush painted canvas I've done to date (7' x 12')

View the gallery for photos of the process from start to finish.

I took a walk down to the local toy store and picked up two pvc 3" figures.

A dunny, and a debil(z)

The Debilz line is by one of my favorite french graffiti artists "MIST"

I was thinking I would paint over the toys if I got ones I didnt like, but I am rather happy with both of my surprise boxed pvc toys.

The two cashed in at about $20. at Voltage

A couple weeks back I did a promo event for Virgin Radio's launch/VIP party.
Pretty standard event for me, I painted outside for a few hours letting guests view the process of me painting this Virgin logo. I was given free reign beyond the logo element, so this was pretty fun to paint.
The contract came together very last minute, but it worked out alright in the end.

--There was some video online, but it's gone now, I'll have to see if I have it saved anywhere(ie. not on my fried PC)
