Airspaces

I came across an awesome site that lists a ton of different homes, shops, rooms, etc for photographers, directors, artists etc to rent and use for whatever they need.
I clicked around for hours, wishing I could live in these amazing spaces.
Whenever I get bored I tend to rearrange furniture or see what kind of interior design-y type things I can do, generally for free, and this website is just a big bundle of inspiration.
Here's some of my favourite interiors:






Here's the Aispace site. Check it out for tons, tons more rooms.

And here's something I did the other day when I should have been doing a drawing assignment. I pinned up old curtains into my hideous drop-ceiling. I guess they're good for some things!

The Prairie Chicken comes alive at night...

Today in 3-D fundamentals, Ron took us on a little walkabout around the campus to look at all the sculptures that were commissioned around the time of the '88 Olympics. Here's a few of them.

"Rhythm One" - Drahanchuk - 1970.

The figures were sculpted by Ann something...finding out... The arch was designed by Diamond Architects.

Kinetic sculpture park by Katie Ohe.

"The Prairie Chicken" - George Norris.

There's tons, tons more art on campus if you ever want to wander around one lovely summer day and take it all in! But keep your eyes peeled, some of it is a little hidden.

A First

I got the chance to do a silly little political cartoon for BeatRoute and here it is!
I think it's kind of hilarious although the dude on the right is supposed to be Stephen Harper and it doesn't really look like him at all.
Let's just say it's Barack Obama and the love child of Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro?

Factory Party 5

Well, Calgary, it's that time of the month again!
Factory Party is back this Friday at the Uptown Stage and Screen! If you haven't been yet, you really should, and if you have, then you're probably already planning on coming again. It's a great night for music, art, film, dancing, socializing and drinking...all in one place for one low, low price!
I'm even lucky enough to have a couple things up this time 'round and I would love to see some familiar faces and shoot some celebratory tequila. Maybe, just maybe I'll see you there!
Come down early if you don't have tickets...they're expecting 1200 people so there'll probably be more than that and door tickets will sell out.
See some bands, watch some films, check out some art (mine, too, please!) mingle, shake ya tail feather and party!

Movie Madness

Got a couple more movie trailers for ya.


Away We Go is directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida. It's got a great cast and looks to be filled with dry humour. Looks like a good'er.

The Limits of Control. Great cast. Great director. Looks quite interesting.

Must Read After My Death. Documentary. I can't even describe it...just watch it. A beautiful, if not entirely disturbing, idea for a film.

Explicit Ills. This look amazing. Paul Dano is making some really great choices in the films he works on. He's extremely talented and I look forward to watching the rest of his career unfold.

Alien Trespass. Set in 1957, this film looks absolutely ridiculous in the most wonderful way. Check out this movie poster:
