re: spiracy theories.....
more, sacred geometry, conspiracy theory riddled art.
thanks for stopping by,
the day i flew out here to ottawa, i had a horrible dream, i was driving my truck downtown kamloops when all of a sudden there was this crazy sound, like static electricity getting louder and louder, buzzing and crackling filling the sky, and then it stopped and the city went dark, and all the cars died, everything.
i got out out and saw the city was dark, it was twilight, and ran to get my kids, because i knew shit was going to hit the fan. that same day, the earth was being bombarded by solar rays, a huge cosmic storm. coincidence?
thanks for coming by,

re: kanata day.
hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,
a final image for your Kanata day celebrations.
this one is called "the only good NDN is a Dead NDN."
a phrase i heard more than once in my life, granted, not since the 1990's. but still, i heard it more often in my life than i'd like to have heard it.
can you imagine hearing that as a child by your mother's blue collar, working class, spousal beating, alcoholic boyfriends?

re: oh kanata.....
hello friends, foe and lovers,

re: kanata day
hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,
it's Kanata day, a day that first nations, metis and inuit both loathe and maybe celebrate across canada.
we are a people that have many unresolved issues, actions and history with our government and citizens. we have a hidden history, one most people across the vast country called canada do not know even exists. i always have a challenging time with this celebration, because internally i'm wrestling and struggling with it, because both my parents went through the meat-grinder of the Residential School system and are complete messes as a result. i have no relationship with them, and it saddens me, and my kids are at an age where they are starting to ask about them. what do i tell them? the truth? no, they're too young, and i want them to have some sort of childhood. so, i soldier on, and tell them bits that i can and wait until i can figure out the rest.
in the meantime, i'm posting four or five pieces today, older and newer and i hope you contemplate them each, and try to understand what i'm saying through visual metaphor.
all the bets,
cb

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,

re: upcoming gig
hello friends, fans, foe and lovers,

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

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.

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,
