re: perspective.....

Hello lovers,

i'm contemplating a lot of big decisions in life, getting my teacher certification, pursuing a Master's in Fine Arts, all manner of large decisions.....

the problem i see with pursuing an MFA in the arts, when you're young, as in under 40, is because you become institutionalized and your art weakens and gets more mainstream and palpable, and acceptable to society. you haven't formed a body of work to pull from and you haven't lived enough to even do so. i believe a person needs to live before having authority and influence upon others.

it's all aboot perspective i guess?

anyway. just a thought. haha.

until next time,

cb

re: new mural images!!!!

Hello Lovers,

it's been awhile and i apologize, i've been busy working on a variety of projects and life in general. here are some images from a mural i did with several TREC youth at a building called the "Emerald Centre," here in Kamloops, BC. It's an emergency shelter for men and women and they wanted something positive, with roots, balance, and vibrant and bright.

Legal walls and murals are a strange beast in this town, to get this project off the ground from concept to completion took over three months. the actual work on the mural took 10 days. weird eh?
But at least we did it and it was great fun, and the first time i've ever worked with a crew of all boys, or teenage boys.

so, here are some images for you!!!

cheers,
