Show at Raw Canvas - The Shift

Next week, a few of us from Main Street Art Collective (MSAC) will be starting a mural inside of Raw Canvas in Yaletown (1046 Hamilton Street Vancouver, BC).

Some of us are also preparing for a show we are doing there in February. The show is called "The Shift" and will include 19 paintings about creation, transformation and destruction.

I'll post more about opening night when we confirm the details!

Matt Sesow and Dana Ellyn "31 Days in July Project" for 2010

Wow. It's hard to believe August is here already. And it's even harder to believe that Matt Sesow and Dana Ellyn just finished their "31 Days in July Project". I am in awe of their dedication and hard work. And even more in awe of their skill and talent.

Congratulations to both for completing another 31 paintings in July!

Water Water Everywhere, But Not a Drop to Drink

Many unemployed Americans are unable to move in order to find work because they can't sell their homes - their mortgages are 'underwater' (meaning they owe more than the house is currently worth).
