Hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

here are the past week's unusual images i've found scouring the internet doing research for my work. 
check out the wolf below, easily the biggest i've ever seen, and would have been terrified hunting that one down. imagine if your gun jammed? dead. 


my friend grant hartley's latest bike project. 
brilliant isn't he?


i love graffiti and street art.


here's some of my old stuff.


dig the urban coyote trippin' in front of it!

SO, i'm also really into a new show called is "Game of THrones." some friends of mine came over for a few days, and we had a "game of thrones: season 1" marathon......it is such a good series. as well, i been watching "Master and Commander: Far Side of the World." which is waaaay better than i thought it would be. the people who made that film did their research and homework. 2 great entertainment finds in one week! 



as well, i've been watching the "Ali G Show" and holy crap, it's a funny show, i haven't seen it for awhile, so it's crude, funny and unbelievable. My favourite stuff is when he goes to the deep southern les Etats Unis, and we see the "proper and formal" side of racism and propriety of america. 




one other great find i had this past week, is the book by Shaun Tan, "Lost and Found."





it is a beautifully illustrated book of three short stories. i highly recommend it. the anecdote i have regarding it, is i saw it before christmas this past year, and in one of those foolish moments, put it back, and didn't purchase it. i also didn't write down the author or book title. after the holidays, a couple weeks later, i went back to find the book, and it was of course, gone.

i searched high and low, and could not find it. it was a bummer. i gave up. 

then, this past weekend, i was at the bookstore again with my kids, and checked the place where it was, and lo and behold, the book was there. i bought it. brought it home, read it, and loved it.

it's in the kids books section of bookstores, but it's totally meant for adults. it's content is deep and cerebral. check it out, you will likely dig it.

so, lovers, in the meantime, take care, and stay tuned for more art/film/music/poems.

deal?

hope you are well, all the best,


cb
