Greg Wadden
My good chum and lead singer of Right On Yukon!, Greg Wadden, calls me up an says "hey man you wanna do a photoshoot for some art gallery of nova scotia project".
so i said sure.
The project is that you have your photo taken holding a photo of the person that recommended you to the project.
After I was recommended, they asked me if i would paint my interpretation of Greg's photo for MY photo.
Here's the results.

and the photo for the gallery show
Which I wanted to say 'hey! i'm super awesome! lets be awesome together! awesome!'
but instead
i think it ACTUALLY says 'i'm awkwardly tense!.....and i have these weird spider fingers.'
Neatorama!

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!

Commercial!
Check this out!
It's my first directed commercial!
The commercial came as a commission from Alex Leguerrier at Saint Thomas University for a non profit organization called DotsNB.
The organization raises money for kids' mental health.
I had the amazing team of: Jonathan Brayer as the after effects compositor and Ryan Gainer who composed the music.
Everything turned out great and exactly what the client asked for.
Can't complain about that!
Great experience for my first major commercial directing gig!
Thanks to all involved!

Fuckin Buttons!
First wave of buttons from Fuckin Buttons! is being launched this weekend when I paint at Saint Thomas University!
Gonna sell em as merchandise while we paint!
The irony behind the whole thing though is that because of the ideals the school adheres to, I was asked to censor my brand...
which means
Fuckin Buttons! official debut is as the less impressive "effin buttons!"
huzzah!

St Thomas University Event
St Thomas commissioned 2 posters for some events coming up in the next 2 weeks. One of which I'm involved in with some live painting action.

The Rural Alberta Advantage!
The Rural Alberta Advantage are playing the Halifax Pop Explosion this year and I've been commissioned to do the show poster!
These cats are high on my 'all time' list so I'm beyond stoked to be able to do their show poster for this year!

but it's rad news anyway!
