On the Theme of Butterflies

I can't get over this video...

I love my friend

This is an Ode to my friend Clinton Debogorski, cause he makes me laugh, he's brilliant and we've done a lot of growing up together. Thank you to the north for creating such and original and intricate man...

Rebel Valentine Video

The idea aesthetically was to make the video look retro, as though she was getting ready to go onstage, a teaser by a teaser....
I love it, the sound is taken from one of Rebel  Valentines' live shows, which I think enhances the atmosphere...hopefully giving the viewer the desire to be there live.

....and comm'on we filmed it in my bedroom with a bedside lamp..not bad..ps. love video textures!

Influences, the color the subject matter......amazing

Sometimes simplicity is best

First After Effects typo animation...

A week off!

Mommy!

the thematic of the thanksgiving week was most certainly empty glasses, no matter how quickly they were filled, they reverted to their natural state.

A fine example

"Defying the Everyday"

~and keeping the artsy bullshit alive, even in the world of design!

Sin

"Every sin is the result of a collaboration."


Lucius Annaeus Seneca

After a semester of collaborative video projects I am interpreting this in a totally different manner... it makes me giggle. I enjoy the idea of sin-ly the results.

*FEATHERS*

Vancouver

Vancouver you exhaust me with your handsome musicians, unreliable friends and late night dance parties. Lets be honest you're a flake. Yeah your looks are nice but you are shallow and leave me wanting more, some grit, some reliability. I could climb to the peaks of your mountains all day but only my body would strain and at your highest heights I would scream into your sublimity, "who are you!". Fuck you Vancouver if I wasn't pinned down by school I would leave you shivering in your false airs.

This picture is an illustration of who you are...even on the underbelly of the lion's gate bridge the paint is freshly laid and resistant of the elements and only one poor fool has had the courage to leave his silver piss stain down(art). How do you maintain your pristine exterior?

...and why do you want to?

Body Extensions

This is an on-going creative collaboration with photographer Dasha Lushnikova, (http://www.dashalush.com/). It is concerned with feminism and Marshal Mcluhan's ideas of the mechanical bride. The project examines the ways in which we desire to extend the limitations of our bodies through objects, architecture and technology.

Strange Faces on the Commercial Drive

 

These photos are from the photo shoot that Dasha Lushnikova and I did on Commercial Drive for Mainly Main Magazine..They turned out beautiful and look even better in print....

This mask series is an effort to work through and revisit the archetypes and social structures I encountered as a child growing up in the boonies of British Columbia.  The masks develop their own unique characters, each one serving as an individual conduit which channels the wearer into the small-town mythology.  And, most importantly, they transport the unmasked as well.  Everydayness is caught off guard.  The boredom, alienation and complacency are shaken back to life with strangeness.  Thank you for all the smiles on Commercial Drive!


Thanks to Sonia Zagwyn and Clinton Debogorski for their help!

Juvenile Hall and Blondewich Poster

They said retro 50s housewife type imagery, then jello mold imagery was stuck in my head. So lush shiny and congealed. While looking at imagery online I kept noticing the hands of these pulp fiction murder-essses and wanted more....that was about it the fonts are retro hand painted and scanned. Perhaps it is a bit busy...as usual but I am slowly weaning myself from the chaos that is my nature.

Photoshop Poster

Hidden Towers Poster...
just a student project and wasn't actually applied.

My first Photoshop pastiche, the influences were The Dust Bowl, Grapes of Wrath, type writer font and a general ominous feel....
