The brightest park in town...

I stumbled upon an extremely well lit park last night. It was as if the sun was up. The strangest thing was that there was no one at all anywhere near the place. It kind of felt like field of dreams or something. Maybe I beat the ghosts to the field... or maybe I just missed them. Either way I'm glad. What a sappy, terrible and overrated movie that was. Seriously. Awful.

Enjoy!

NXNE shows

I went to a few shows during the NXNE festival. Saw the Dodo's and Deerhoof (and some other crappy band who thought that electric drums and fake hand clap sound effects were awesome). Dodos were wicked as usual and Deerhoof put on a great show as well. All the energy came from the drummer and the lead singer. Totally good show show but the sets were so short. It felt like the Dodos barely got started when they had to stop playing.

The next show we saw was Men Without Hats. What a bore. Whatever they may have had in the 80's left them a long time ago and now they are just a little sad and weird. After them we saw....

DEVO!!!!!! Awesome show. Second Devo show I've been to and man o man they just get better and better. Super entertaining. Sorry I don't have any photos, I was too busy dancing my butt off. I promise I will go to any and all Devo shows that happen anywhere near Toronto from now until the end of time.

Happiness Head

Here's a better view of the final screen printed head that will be used in the Happiness prints. The mouth and hair will be separate elements since they change from head to head. I should have some more updates on this project very soon. Hope y'all dig it.

Enjoy.

Happiness

This is a scan of a piece I've been working on. This is just a prototype that was made with stencils (which took a really long time to cut, but it was fun). The actual piece will be screen printed and the orientation will likely be more horizontal. The idea is based on the theory that our physiological states inform our emotional states. By being bald the man is not happy, by growing hair he becomes happy. It's not the greatest scan in the world, mostly because I desperately need a new scanner. Maybe I'll treat myself.....

enjoy!

Toy Sculpt

This is the sculpt of the Bubblegum lovers. Fresh from the oven (with real burn marks!) and ready to be molded. Shira from Singing Umbrella is gonna help make the molds. Should be fun!!

APT Continues

The show had a Preview Premiere on Rogers last Friday. Apparently Rogers will be playing the same episode every Friday night at 1030 all summer long.... which seems strange to me. We had a party to celebrate the show and it was a resounding success. I hope people like it!

Here's some set photos from a recent shoot. I really like the photo with the microphone in it.

Enjoy.

Colour!

Here it is in colour!

Progress...

This is the start of a new piece. Inspired by the cinematography of 1970's British Gangster films, I've decided to create some pieces that reflect my interest in movies. Let's see where it goes.

Enjoy.
