re: the weather

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

hope it is going well in your world, over here in British Columbia, more specifically, Kamloops, BC, we're approaching record rain and floods we haven't seen in nearly 4 decades. lame.

i've personally never the north/south thompson rivers this high before. they've pushed inland a good 50 feet that is usually land. my guess is they've risen nearly 20 feet this spring. crazy.

anyway, i've got a whole whack of new art i'm going to start posting and feel good, got through whatever slump was plaguing me.

this isn't true, i've been busy making art everyday, just opting not to post it. sometimes it's good not to let the world see what you're building in the woodshed.

been doing a lot of admin, getting ready for the summer workshop series the arbor collective will be doing, planning exhibitions, and finalizing some details for the "Voices of the Valley Music and Arts Festival" which will be taking place Saturday, August 11th, from 1 pm to 10 pm in beautiful Spence's Bridge, BC.

it might be the only First Nations Festival in the interior, and i'm really excited about it, we'll keep going on it and expanding it and letting it grow organically.

this year, we'll have musicians Niska Napoleon, Gitwaalk Jeremy, Blackout Artists and SKookum Soundsystem!!!!

there'll be movies, art, spoken word and more......

hosted by the Cooksferry Indian Band!!!

cheers,

Chief Tetlinitsa Memorial Building in Spence's Bridge, 

where the Festival will take place!

re: upcoming gig

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

i've been doing almost NO posting this month and i cannot figure out why?

it's weird. i've had zero interest in posting or doing things on my blog this month.

i've been doing art like mad, but haven't been posting it. haha.

weird.

anyway, here's a gig next month i've got coming up, so come check it out if you're in the vancity area.....

looking forward to some traveling in the next few months, and organizing a festival in Spence's Bridge of First Nations artists and musicians on August 11.

well, until the next time i post something, all the bets,

re: eyes of doom

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

here's some new art for you. 

been busy doing stuff, good stuff, keep at it, i tell artists all the time, once you stop making art, you stop making art. and then it's more and more challenging to get the artwork going again. so, never stop making art. make art every day and you'll get somewhere. 

all the bets,

re: admin stuff

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

it's been awhile since i posted anything, and it's because i've been busy doing administration type work for the Arbor Collective. riveting, exciting things like grant research, going around to schools and organizations connecting with people and artists for upcoming workshops i'm doing around town. busy.

also drawing too, it's great to draw, and make art. and music. and stuff.

so, there you go. for now i'll post some entertaining images to let you know i miss you.

all the bets,

cb
