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.

Right back at 'er

Vince dog and I arrived back in Whistler early Sunday morning (7AM) from our tattooing vacation to Revelstoke, BCand got back to work unpacking the van, tidying up the studio and getting things ready at Black Ohm Tattoos for work this week.

  Last night I met with Liz of BassCoastProject and Andy Dittrich to discuss building one of the stages,  which I got to design.  We are all so excited about bringing one of my characters to life this year.   If you were ever wondering about BassCoastProject,  get your ass down to Squamish Valley this year and check it out.   It is going to be THE music festival to be at this summer.  

Whistler Arts Councill is hosting "Artwalk" Thursday night at various venues in Whistler village.   I will be walking about with Vince dog checking out the art and the people.

Friday, August 5th is the Function Junction block party...  where local businesses host different artists and their art work.  As well as the art there is going to be food vendors and drinks flowing.  
  Myself, Arne Gutmann, Randy "RANDOID" Smith and The Incredible Amoeba are showing our artwork at the south end of Function across from Whistler Happy Pets, Whistlers only and best, pet food store.   So be sure to stop by and say hi to us Friday night.   You know there is going to be some sort of debauchery going down.
