Cero live painting


Cero had another party March 16th at Max Fish nightclub in Whistler,  I think it was their 16th party,  more of a fundraiser really with all proceeds going to help build schools , etc. in Asia, etc.
   I was asked to be one of the artists who painted live.  Of course I said yes.
  The photos you see are of me painting from that night.
My good friend Randy"RANDOID" Smith was painting live beside me.   Other artists painting live were Oliver Roy and Stan Matwichuk.   DJs - Mat the Alien, R3, Fareal, Rich-A, Praiz and Phroh kept the music pumping all night.   and there were some MCs - Shamick the beat box king,  Lozen and Infinity  performed.   and visuals were by Apok.

"The Woods" series

These are some of the black light paintings I spoke briefly about last month.   These are some of the first in the series.   They are mainly florescent (day-glow) pigments , black gesso and glow in the dark for stars in the sky and for the critters eyes.

  The pigment is such that it requires a black light to truly see the colors the way they were ment to be.

  The inspiration for these pieces comes from spending many hours in the woods in the fall searching for wild gourmet mushrooms with friends and our dogs.   Such woods are magical places indeed.
