hope all is well in your world, i'm doing alright in mine. just painted a bunch of murals across canada, starting in montreal at a 'decolonizing street art,' festival, the 1st year, then i was in prince albert, saskatchewan where the indigenous people's artist collective commissioned me to paint a large mural for their 2 story cafe festival. i also did a book launch there for my new book, 'a moon made of copper,' then i went to vancouver and victoria for art, book launch and a gig with "the monster project," the band for the grunt gallery's 30 anniversary party. things didn't go as planned, but i still had fun in vancouver. then i was in boundary country where i ended my little mural tour across canada and had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people.
so, for now, here's a few photos from the boundary country mural i did with the grade 11/12 class, and something for you to check out. as well as some graff i did here in kamloops at a local high school with my bro KAST. it's nice to be able to finally paint stuff legally and have fun, while bringing art to the streets and the students. opening minds and ideas to street art, proving it can be fun, safe and non-gang related. i'm going to breathe some life back to my blog and start posting again. been through a lot the past year or two, and was burnt out and tired, but i'm finally feeling good. taking a bit of a break from the art world has been great. the band i'm in, "the monster project," is exciting and fun, mixing heavy guitars, atmospheric guitars and with dj beats and live visuals by Deano Hunt and Bracken Hanuse Corlett respectively.
well, we'll talk more soon and i hope you come back and keep checking out the blog and art, and adventures!
cheers,
cb
