Facebook Event

I'm not on Facebook, but my friend Matt was kind enough to set up an event page for the show... I'm not completely sure how it works, but Andrew says you can invite people with it...

Here's the link.

Chimera - Feb 4th - NYC

This is the post I've been excited to make for a long time now... I just received the invite for my show in NYC... There are 14 pieces in the show, its pretty much all of the work I've done over the last year and a half. Here is the opening info:

Thursday Feb 4th, 6-8pm
Fredericks and Freiser Gallery
536 W 24th Street

I guess I didn't need to type that, you can click on the flier below and it will become large enough to read.

Generally at openings at Fredericks and Freiser we all go out for too many drinks afterwards at a bar not too far away... Anyone still around at the end of the opening is more than welcome...


Here are a couple of pieces from the show...


Mitsuo Kimura

My friend Mitsuo is having a solo show at LE Gallery next Friday, February 5th. Unfortunately I can't be there because I'll be in NYC for my show, but anyone who is in Toronto should check it out... His stuff is crazy, when I first saw it I assumed that Mitsuo did tons and tons and tons of drugs, but according to him he doesn't...

Below is the flyer, click it and it will become large enough to read.

stuffs

Here's another drawing from my upcoming show... It's called: "Wildlife - Marine Regions" and its 18" x 23"... I noticed that I never put up decent documentation of the butterfly piece, so here it is. It's around 46" x 60". Now I will never mention the drawing again... click on them and they get a lot bigger...

Also, anyone wo reads The Road of Knives may have noticed that I haven't posted on it in a really long time, since early summer... I've actually stopped working on it. I feel sort of sad about that, because I loved working with Shawn and Zak and thought it was a really cool project. I decided to drop out though because I found it took up a lot of my time, and I was having a hard time getting my personal work done.. Anyway, they are still going strong with it, Shawn's newest move is killer, and they just set up a new website for it...

Below is Shawn's newest mover, and HERE is the new website...

Ok, bye everyone. I'll put some more show work on here later on...

1 more

I just thought of one more that I should have added to yesterday's list:

Tristram Lansdowne:

Tristram has a show in New York coming up; his opening is the weekend after mine at Joshua Liner Gallery on the 13th of Feb. I'm pissed because I'm going to miss it by a few days, but anyone in New York in February should check it out...

4 of my favourites

Just to do something different, I'm posting a list of a few of my favourite Toronto artists... Two are more established, and two are very much emerging; they are both still in school actually...

Anyway, I'm not going to write about them, just post their names and work examples, and you can do some further research if you think they look interesting... I think they all kick ass pretty hard...

Happy New Year

It's been a little while since my last update, I've just been working away as hard as I can. At 5 pm on New Years Eve I finally finished the work for my solo show, which in a way was good timing because I could go out and not think about work. But in a way it was bad because generally when I go out, after a certain point I stop drinking because I know I have work to do the next day. But this time I didn't have that voice in the back of my head, and I haven't been out in months, so it wasn't pretty....

Anyway, here is a drawing. The show is Feb 4th in NYC, but I'll post more work and more specific information soon... clicking on the image below should make it a lot bigger...
