Wow!!! We finally got the internet back!!!! I miss everyone!!!

So much happened while we were unconnected. I handed in my portfolio and finished the application to school. So now it's in the hands of someone else if I can go back to school or not. I had an exhibition that went so well. It was absolutely amazing and I meet so many great people. My amazing friend bought me a great piece of art to congratulate me for all the progress I've been making with my stuff. I have a friend working on my website and he already has two of my pages built. And the last but the best.... my beautiful lady Rubix and the ever so lovely Lee won for the most creative set!!!!! That is so amazing because they worked so hard on it and totally deserved it.

Well I have a lot of pictures for you guys but I'm going to let the other roommates get their paws on the computer for a little bit. I'll post them up tomorrow.

I'm happy to be back!!!!

I just had a pretty rough weekend. Rubix is really sick!! She gots the flu!!! Poor thing hasn't been feeling well for the past three days. We went to the clinic today... we were there for over three hours!! And all she was told is to tough it out. I can't believe that. I got her some cough syrup so I hope that makes her feel better.
On top of all that the roommates and us had agreed to take care of two dogs for the weekend. Two big dogs!! Jamal and Lex!!

They were good dogs and behaved fairly well... but them mixed with a sick girlfriend don't go so well. It was a little rough when they got all excited. I'm not a dog person in any way!! I don't hate them but I don't really care for them either. It was cool to have them knowing they weren't staying.hehe

Then I also had my school stuff to sort out. Getting my pictures for my portfolio and finishing up parts of the application. I can't believe that at almost thirty I'm going to go back to school. Better late then never!!! I also had a painting that I needed to get done before tomorrow. It's for a show that I'm participating in and the opening is this weekend. It's called "The Sexy Fun Show". Some of my good friends are putting it together so it should be insane. Well with the sick girlfriend and the dogs I had no time to do my stuff other then late night. In the past three days I've had maybe ten hours sleep. I basically stayed up all night with only a small nap here and there. All in all I managed to finish my painting. I have pictures for you guys that won't be able to come to the show.hahaha.

I was up till the wee hours to paint this guy.... I'm stoked considering I could barely see him towards the end.


I hope you all had a better weekend then me. I'm going to bed now!!!!

I almost forgot and had to edit... I also managed to do some street scribbles!!

Last night Lee, Tricks888, Rubix, and me went bowling!! It was a lot of fun!! We were suppose to go see a 3D Imax movie but it was only playing in french..... Rubix!!!! So we went bowling instead.I haven't bowled in so long.Tricks888 was the man beating all of us in all 3 games that we played.Poor Lee broke a nail during the second game and she totally called it before we even got to the bowling alleys.She's tough though and kept playing.The girls tried to beat us boys but were unsuccessful.... sorry girls maybe next time!! hahaha.
Other then that my weekend was pretty chill.I worked on some art projects so that was good.I'm starting to get overwhelmed with all the projects on my plate.I now have 3 people waiting to get some stuff from me and one of them is a big mural in a studio space.That piece is going to take me a few days to do.On top of that I have to get my portfolio in order so I can get my ass in school.It's not the worst though because it's all stuff that I love doing so I'm not complaining.I just have to figure how to manage my time better.I'm going to be covered head to toe in paint!! I hope everyone here had a good weekend.

Cheers

I had the most amazing night last night!! My buddy and me went to this Sneaker Pimp event.It's an event to show shoes.There was about 1000 pairs of sneaker... all different.Some were limited edition or others were painted by insane artists and other stuff.The shoes were cool but there was also some live painting going on and thats what i was there for.Futura 2000 was there and he was doing a canvas.For you that don't know who Futura 2000 is... he is one of the originals of graffiti from NYC... a godfather of graffiti.Anyways this is what made my night so amazing.After Futura was done his canvas I introduced myself to him and told him that he is a huge inspiration to me.He was totally taken by that.I then asked him if he could autograph one of the cans that he just used to do the canvas.And.....

How fucking amazing is that!!!!! I fucking have a can used and signed by Futura 2000!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!
This is the canvas he did... I didn't have anything but a cell phone to take the picture damnit!!


This is some other pictures we took.


painted by Bigfoot


shoe by Obey

Anyways it was the wickedest night.I can't believe I have that can!!! On our way home in a drunken mess I left my mark!!!haha

Cheers

I had an amazing time at the art show!!! I got to expose 6 paintings in all and got a lot of positive feedback.I even got to meet this big bucks socialite who hosts private art shows and wants to do a show with me!!! It was a great time and quite a bit of people showed up so that was wicked!!! Rubix took some pictures for me!!!

This was the main space and you can see that I was put right in the middle!!!


This is my radio!!!


And here is the beautiful Lee with some friends and myself.


I will be doing more shows in the upcoming future!! But for now it's back in the paint!!!

I was asked yesterday to submit five paintings to a local art show.It's my first time exposing!!!! It's happening this Thursday and Friday at the Corona Theather.It's only from 5-8 like a happy hour or something with a DJ and a bar.So if your in the Montreal area come and check it out!!! It's to expose local artists and parts of the proceeds go to charity.So do your good deed for the year!!!!!

I finished my new piece!!! Like I said in my previous blogs that I've been working long hours on all the cutting of my stencils and here is the outcome.I took pictures as I was doing my layers so I could show you a little bit of the process I go threw.I won't show you all the steps cuz I don't want to give you all my secrets!!haha.

1st layer with my background already done.

It doesn't look like much yet.

2nd layer.


3rd layer.


4th layer


So I think you get the picture... so heres the final product.In case you were wondering it was 7 layers in all.Well 8 if you include the background.


It's a piece of one of my closest friend.His name is Phil so the piece is simply titled "Phil".

Cheers

We got back Sunday night from an amazing weekend to Quebec City!!! Well we went to Mont Ste-Anne's to do some skiing and we went to Quebec City on Saturday night to go see the Red Bull Crashed Ice.It was so much fun!! There was 9 of us that went and we rented a sweet little condo about two minutes away from the hill.We got to ride all three days that we were there!! I have some pictures but I don't want to post them all cuz I know Rubix is going to want to show you some to.Heres a couple of pictures of us at the hill.

Here we are getting ready to go ride.Rubix is the one taking the picture.


This is us smoking up the gondola!!!


Heres Rubix and me looking all cute and stuff!!!hehe



Like I said the Saturday night we went to see the Red Bull Crashed Ice.If you don't know what it is check out some of the videos on youtube.It's a huge ice track similar to a boardercross run that rips through the core of Quebec City.Guys and girls in full hockey gear except for a stick race down the course 4 at a time.The track has insane jumps ,drops and bumps and it's all done on hockey skates.It was absolutely mad!!! The event was crazy and the amount of people that were there was nuts!!! There was about 75000 rowdy and cold people.I got some pictures of that too!!

Here was the start of the race.It was right in front of the Chateau Frontenac!! It looked so awesome!!!


Alright in case you did understand what I meant by jumps and stuff heres a picture of the jump that we were right beside the whole night.Remember this is all on hockey skates.Right after this jump is a huge corner... a lot of crashes happened right in front of us!!!


This is the corner after the jump from the last picture.I tried to get it when there was some skaters going by but they're really fast.You can kinda see one guy on the big screen.You can also see how many people there was.


I was going to write a blog sooner but I was damn tired after all that.I hope you all had a great weekend as well.

The new set that Rubix and Lee shot looks amazing!!! Rubix got it last night!! I know it's not fair that I got to see it before all of you... but hey what can I say... I'm just a lucky guy!!haha.If you've read Lee's blog then you already know that it's a multi.So in a way we're all lucky!!! Anyways your all going to get to see it soon in some way or an other.They just have to finish the selecting of the photos and the the whole accepted/rejected thing.Let's all cross our fingers that it gets accepted!!! ISG did a "making of" video and you can all get a sneak peek on his blog....so go check it out.It looks amazing!!!

I don't have pictures of my new piece yet because it's still in progress.I've been cutting forever!!!! I do have pictures of my madness.

Theses are my lines for my stencil.




there is a method to all that madness!!

And this is my background stencil.The beginning.



The end.



Soon it will be actually painted!! Today I received my art piece from the beautiful Claudette and I'm so happy!! It's the most beautiful piece I have!!! I love it!! I'll take pictures to show you.

Cheers for now!!

I finally have a minute or two to write a new blog.I've been mad busy helping the beautiful Rubix and Lee with their new sets.I'm not going to say anything about the sets except that it will be amazing!! I'm really honored because I gave them the idea and they both really liked it that they decided to do it.They let me design the whole thing!! I'm happy that it basically turned out the way I saw it in my head.It wasn't the easiest task but all worked out pretty well.Both lovely ladies really loved it and thats all that was important to me!!!

Now its back to work on my art.I started this stencil project thats going to be called "Friends".It's all explained in the title.... hahaha its all going to be pieces of my friends.Anyways I'm doing my first one and it's going to be about 10 layers including the background and everything.It's mostly all cut out except for the background and thats going to take me about another day or two.I can't wait to spray it on the canvas.Rubix took some pictures of me working on it... i'll resize them and post them.Maybe I'll do that later tonight and show you guys.

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
