NYC Vinyl Record Exhibition

I'll be in an upcoming vinyl record show at gallery APW in New York City. Opening reception is October 3rd, 2008.










It was really fun painting on a Vinyl Record. I remember working on a Record Album for a show earlier this year, but this is a first time I ever painted on a Vinyl Record.

Anyways heres the beginning of the Record










and the final... (sorry its not the best image to show the piece, but I didn't had a scanner while I was working on this in NYC)

Annex Zoo Show Tomorrow

Alright, nothing much to update today. But just a reminder that the Annex Zoo Charity show is happening tomorrow at 8pm. Me and jack are just in the process of finishing off the paintings for tomorrow.

In the mean time...i had the pleasure to win these two pieces from the art jam auction. They are hung nicely in my room now. :) Yes...i'm kinda a collector deep down inside..

Can't wait for the next art jam to happen.

Vinyl Graffiti Show

Last friday Feb 9th was the opening for the Vinyl Graffiti group show at the Labyrinth store.
Here are some of the photos from the night, sorry it took a while. This past week has been crazy busy, hardly even had time to sleep.

Vinyl Graffiti Show, another piece

So tomorrow night is the opening of the vinyl graffiti show. Its going to be a night of fun at the labyrinth.

Anyway, me and my friend Nick recently had the chance to collaborate on a 3-cover connecting piece, which will also be at the labyrinth show opening.










In other news, a group of us recently put up a small show at the student gallery at Sheridan. Photos of some of the work that was up is posted at the official Sheridan illustration blog which can be found here. http://ills.wordpress.com/

Again, the opening reception of the show is at the Labyrinth Store on Feb 9th from 7-10pm. The show will be up for a month.

Labbits Labbits Labbits and Red Wolf Hood Update

Labbits are coming to town!
haha..a bit late...maybe. Happy Boxing Day everyone. Hope most of you got what you want. Its been a very long day for me, walked around downtown Toronto all day and night!

You've prob heard about the Munny's and Dunny's. Today, while shopping for boxing day...I was able to get my hands on some of these Labbits from Urban Outfitters on Queen Street, Toronto. They were 75% off from the original price because they are christmas labbits, but you can easily remove the christmas accessories and they can turn back into normal labbits! (yes, the Christmas canes are removable) Super deal! So... I bought a few, some of these aren't mine actually..some are for friends and one is for my sis. But yea..go check em out the next few days if you want, they have lots of em..they should be still on sale so you can still get one i think.

Should be fun when i have the time to paint them and make my custom Labbits!
















And its been a while...since i've updated progress on the Red Wolf Hood Painting. Here's another progress shot..

Lots of things still need to be worked on, and also still need to decide on overall lighting of the piece. Lots of detailing to do as well...hopefully finishing this up soon.

Angela Bury?

Here is a new piece I worked on recently for an upcoming group show at the Labyrinth Store in Toronto. I had to take an original old vinyl record album cover and paint over it (as you can see in the before image posted here). It was fun working on this piece, just a simple piece to paint and relax. Had fun playing around with inks and textures.

The group show is called 'Vinyl Graffiti' which will happen sometime in January featuring about 30 artists. Some artists who are taking part in this so far includes Harvey Chan, Jack Shepherd, Hyein Lee, and Elise Trinh. Actually Elise just posted hers up on her blog as well i think, she did a really nice piece so go check it out too.

Random, I was at the movie theatre the other day to check out 'Enchanted' and noticed the movie 'Sweeney Todd'? is apparently coming out i think, now I wonder if I just painted over a potential valuable album cover. Haha

Nicoletta Ceccoli's show at the Magic Pony

Went to the Nicoletta Ceccoli art show at the magic pony with a few friends recently..and it was...awesome! A must see, i think..we were all very impressed with the rendering of the paintings and the details of each piece...very impressive.

Its crazy also how everything was done in acrylics...and was so smooth..without any noticeable brushstrokes...unbelievable.

Here are some photos I took at the show, go check it out if you're in the area. heres the website for more info http://www.magic-pony.com/
