A sneak peak at today’s wedding.

Hey! Maybe SOME of the wedding photo suggestions in those books actually were right! Look! I turned these photos into sepia and white (I thought it looked better than black and white) and even put some “fine art borders” around them (I didn’t need to for Carolynn’s photo above.) and then they look like art – not just snapshots.

Even though some of the “getting ready” for the ceremony photos weren’t tack sharp, I think they still look nice like this.

I dropped by the Yaletown RoundHouse today after work to see the Papergirl art show. It’s a collection of pieces of art by all sorts of artists in Vancouver. I loved it. I walked around for about half an hour looking at all the pieces on the clothesline.

Paint Your Faith

My buddy, Kellie, posted a link about this graffiti wall on her facebook page today. This gigantic mural is right along the bus route I take. Have I noticed it? No. This has been on display this whole week! I’ve been driving right by it 2 times a day, 4 days this week. I guess my Buddha book is very engrossing.

Anyway, I’m glad she posted this info, because this is a cool project. Paint Your Faith is sponsored (? I’m not sure that’s the right word) by the United Church. They invited 4 artists (Faith47 from South Africa, Titi Freak from Brazil, Peeta from Italy and Indigo from Vancouver) to paint their faith in a mural.

Little treasures here and there.

February 1, 2010

Everywhere you turn around Vancouver these days there’s something new to see. See what they did to the Vancouver Art Gallery? They turned it into Cathy Mechanic’s mom’s couch. That was her quote, not mine. But I think it looks awesome. According to Art Daily, this is part of the Cultural Olympiad in the city [...]

Melting crayons

January 19, 2010

I’m a big fan of the website, Kind over Matter. It’s a feel good and happy website that also promotes artists and their work. I decided last week to participate in their Artist’s Trading Card swap and created this ATC. The rules of an Artist’s Trading card are minimal – the size of the card [...]
