re: east van skull

hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

just back from east van, or as some call it, "yeast van," which is somewhat derogatory as i have come to love east van, it's really one of my favourite places in canada. at least, urban places, it's up there. main street and commercial street, east broadway, those are some dope streets with great comic shops, shirt and skate shops, bone rattle music, lucky comics, mintage: vintage clothes, cafes, venues, art galleries, and the like, it's a cultural hotspot.

i don't think i appreciated it before, now i am starting to really love it. and i designed a skull shirt to show my love of East Van.

here it is:

it needs some work, but it was quick and dirty to do. just the way i like it.

anyways, vancity has been giving to me for years, and i'm stoked to have shows there, and read there, and scream and rant and rave there. it's great. working on new art and projects all the time lovers, stay tuned,


cheers,


cb

re: vancity show

happy new years friends, fans, foe and lovers,

i spent the past week in Vancity, as i've had a show at the UNIT/PITT gallery in 15 East Pender, as well a book launch in conjunction with the show. my good friend Cease Wyss curated the show at the gallery, and was a super awesome host, taking me around the city, showing me cool art and giving me a annotated sense of the history of vancity. it's been awesome, got to spend more time on the rez in North Van, and check out the community garden she's got going on on her reserve.

so, it's been a great week for my headspace and the show was great fun, the launch went super, a lot of people made it, and i also read at Cafe De Soleil on commercial drive with my good friend Anthony Metvier, who added a performance art element to his reading by destroying his book at the end of it. haha, it was awesome.

well, a lot of people really helped out, and i'd like to thank Keith Higgens at the UNIT/PITT Gallery, Cease Wyss for curating it, my friends many who made it to the launch and were great sports and good to see, as well as everyone else who made it to the show!

i've included some photos for you to enjoy,


cheers,


cb.
