Tonight at The Seahorse in Halifax, I'll be showing work in a zombie show!
gonna be great!


fraaaaaames.....
FRAAAAAMMEEES....





this one is for the girlfriend.
its us as shes supporting my need to chew intestines.......yum!



dead flowers.
awwwwww.


the way the blood oozes off the scalp in the background makes me uncomfortable.



i dont know if zombies dream
but if they do
i bet the dreams look like this.
this one unfortunately wont be included in the show as it doesn't work well with the others.
gotta maintain a great visual composition too and this one doesnt fit.

Nocturne!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Halifax, every year we have a public, city wide art crawl called 'Nocturne'. It's basically a rad event where everyone comes out at night to view hundreds of little art exhibits all over the city. 

Myself and Nick Brunt were commissioned to do some pieces for the Halifax public archives.
Which is basically a massive collection of photos and articles free for viewing to the public. 
So after a few hours I picked 2 photos: author Ernest Buckler and folk musician Don Messer

These are the originals:

                                                        
Ernest Buckler


                                            
Don Messer



aaaaaaand this is how I defaced their wonderful legacies.



           






Great turnout all around for Nocturne last night.
Excited for next year!
