Elephants & Thank You's

Elephants & Thank You's

The dust is beginning to settle from last Friday's show and I'm only now starting come down...

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who helped me out with the event's preparation as well as the event itself. A big, heartfelt thanks also goes out to each and everyone who came out to show love and share the good vibe. Of course, I couldn't live with myself without giving a huge shout out to the musicians who were there to provide the soundtrack for the evening.

Now... on to the elephants!

This started the week before the show when it was suggested to me that I make a bunch of smaller prints for the smaller spenders [no offense, I'm a very small spender!] to be able to take something home. It was so genius I kicked myself for not thinking of it sooner.

My girlfriend is a huge fan of elephants and has been bugging me to make her one for a while now so I figured it was time for it to happen. One thing led to another and I made a limited series of 8 small similar yet different elephants on cardboard and one giant one on untreated canvas.

7/8 elephants are now gone which leaves the [now even more elusive] last one sitting at Sub V waiting for someone to come pick it up. Not to mention that the giant elephant was talked about a lot during the event but no one picked it up... So it's still up for grabs as well!

Before I forget, peace to Mark Gravel from Punchline Clothing who was the winner of the raffle and got to take home a portrait of Slug from Atmosphere. Yeah!

Finally,
Since last Thursday, there's been an article up on the Nightlife.ca website about me and I couldn't be more flattered. Thanks a lot to Brian Bentley for posting it and supporting the local scene.

I think I'm going to go snowboarding.

Beat & Cuts:
Verissage & Beat Session @ Sub V
March 4th, 7pm - 9pm

Oh what an emotional couple of weeks it's been... and it continues to be.

Family illness has made it so that I've been back at mom's house since early February and we now have a house full of relatives from far and wide, most of whom we haven't seen for more than 10-15 years. The circumstances are terrible but it's great to see everyone together from every corner of Canada.

Throughout all this emotional commotion I've tried my best to keep my head on since I have an expo coming up on March 4th at Sub V.

It's been almost 2 years since the last time I was there and I couldn't be more excited that they've invited me back. For the occasion, I'm gonna be showcasing my most recent work, some of which can be seen in previous posts.

As well, I've invited some good friends to come and make some good old instrumental hip-hop speaker busting noise: KenLo Craqnuques, V-Looper and Maxim Robin.

If that wasn't enough to get you interested... I will be raffling off a portrait of Slug from Atmosphere [see last post].

I look forward to seeing all of you on the 4th of March... it's from 7pm to 9pm so don't be too fashionably tardy or else you may miss out!!

Peace and crackers and see you all very soon!
