re: image and power.....

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

here's an oldie but a goodie i did many years ago with Randall Eustache, it was part of a commission Arnica Artist Run Centre, and we projected it on the wall of the old Kamloops Daily News. which has been long since out of business, at least a year anyway. a shame. it was pretty cool to see this projected massively on public space, we had about 100 people show up and check it out, much more than we expected.

until next time,

re: street legal.....

hi lovers,

here's some street art that myself and KAST painted recently at a local high school in Kamloops, BC. after several years of doing FREE workshops in high schools, it feels good to finally get somewhere. although now, there's plenty of competition whereas there once none before. we started a good thing, and now others are getting on the workshop train. it's crazy. we're trying to show people that street art is vibrant, colourful, a safe means of self-expression, not gang related, not vandalism if done legally and properly. 

we did this in about an hour and a half. when we get going we can crush it out quickly.

enjoy,

cb

as you can see, we start with 6 sheets of plywood

at 4 x 8 feet in size.

they were from an art show we had at Arnica Artist Run Centre

we never buffed the wood, we just painted over them

at this time of year, buffing a wall means waiting over an hour

for the paint to dry before you can start painting.

I did two new fun characters and KAST wrote

some fresh new letters.

literally it is an explosion of colour.

Juxtaposed against the bland wall

of the high school, it just leaps out

adding much needed colour and life.

re: upcoming exhibition

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

re: words are the devil......

hello friends, fans, lovers and foe,

i cannot remember if i included this link or not, always trying to get some exposure for my creative endeavours. sometimes it works, sometimes, it don't.

in the meantime, enjoy this happy little song.

http://rpm.fm/music/download-chris-bose-words-are-the-devil/

and here's a funny thing about art i found on the intranet.

despite it all, i want at least one of my kids to be an artist. haha!

been sort of mulling things over, navel gazing or shoe gazing i guess you could say. i really feel like i'm just biding my time in kamloops. i feel very alone here, no fault of my own for sure, even though i am starting to do community stuff, sometimes i just feel like, i dunno. wishing my kids were older so i could go and figure my life out i guess? career wise and job wise, it's a tough go for a creative indian in this town. i'm overqualified for a lot of things, and i ain't getting any younger, which is what the world constantly wants, it sucks young blood. it feels like i don't fit in here. i've got to find out where i am supposed to be and get on with it. 

which is, sadly, the road, actually, it ain't so sad! haha! i love the road. 

and i'm working on new music that's gonna get me there! haha!

big love, take care peoples, buy some art, help an artist out, i've got art available right now at Arnica Artist Run Centre and The Art We Are, here in Kamloops, and online at my flickr.com site here:
