Tiny Monsters... Mini Creatures

I was part of the Function Junction "Block Party" two weeks ago along with a bunch of other artists, all of which had their art in various businesses in Whistler's industrial park/art hub called Function Junction.
  I shared a unique venue with three other local artists, Randoid, Arne Gutmann and the Incredible Amoeba.
  These are some of the brand new charcoal renderings of mini creatures/tiny monsters I created for the event.

The event was a success with a whole bunch of people turning out and supporting the arts in Whistler.
  Fellow artist and good friend of mine, Arne Gutmann, wrote a little something about the event in his weekly column (every Friday) on www.whistlerisawesome.com  a blog about the Whistler lifestyle and the people who choose to live here.
  Check it out,  "like" it on facebook, and keep reading.
  Arne is also the genius behind www.poofont.com     Don't know what that is?   check it out here.

Block Party pics

  I took these photos of my paintings on display at the Function Block Party this past Friday night in Whistler, BC.  
    Two walls were full of smaller paintings and drawings.  The last wall was full of the mechanical squids which I had shown during the State of the Art Exhibit during the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival.



The show went really well with art selling,  connections made,  and good times had by all.

Block Party '11

Function Junction, Whistlers own light industrial park is hosting it's annual "BLOCK PARTY"  with food, live music, live art and of course new artwork by Whistler artists.   I have the pleasure to be showcasing 10 new works of art,  all small if not tiny pieces, housed in ornamental frames I have collected over the past couple years.   Besides the new pieces I will be showing some new(er) pieces which have been in House of RTS Gallery in Squamish, BC and were at State of the Art during the World Ski and Snowboard festival 2011.
  The Incredible Amoeba, Randoid, and Arne Gutmann will be showing with me at our venue at the south cul de sac.    Stop by and say hello,   have a drink and buy some art...  
   My work will be posted here very soon,   check back to see it if you happen to live out of town or miss the show.
