New Creation Skateboards Catalog

2012-01-13T20:05:00.003-05:00

For the last three months I have been Brand manager for Creation Skateboards, and in that time I have tried to make this brand my own, at least stylistically. This week I was finally able to show some of the fruits of my labour by releasing the new Spring/Summer 2012 Catalog. Other than using all sustainable material like recycled wood, bamboo and hemp I got art from some of the best visionary and street artists like Luke Brown, Mear One, Bue, Other, Carey Thompson, Xavi, Mark Henson, Amanda Sage, etc.

I also recruited my good friend Barry Walsh to be Creation's newest Pro, which was hard to keep a secret all this time! In these months I've been building the media to launch this news with a big bang, and it has been. His new welcome video is here below for you to check out and more info on the Creation webpage. www.Creationskateboards.com . I hope you're feeling the against the grain spiritual vibes we're plugging into the industry!!

This is a video from last year's Moksha Art Fair, during Miami Art Basel. You can see some of my art behind Alex Grey who speaks so eloquently as per usual, and later also Allyson Grey and Mark Henson.

En Masse in Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

2011-11-03T14:48:00.003-04:00

Yesterday was the opening of the Big Bang contemporary art exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. En Masse was part of that show, so I now got art in a Museum, in the same show as Riopelle, crazy. I only did one piece during the En Masse jam, but it was a 10 foot tall destruction monster that took me 3 days to paint in Acrylics. Im pretty happy how it came out and about this whole giant room.

Skatebot #3 for Cease It group Show

2011-10-30T21:09:00.003-04:00

This Friday was the big Opening party of "Cease It 2" a Installations group show that included popular Montreal Art organizations like Under Pressure, En Masse, Massivart, Paprimase and Decover. I was invited to be part of it cause I had my first Skate robot available for it. But then the building we where storing it in got condemned, so that piece is locked in and will probably still be in there when the building is demolished.... Because of this, my partner in that project Yannik Malek built me a 3rd Skate bot will the last of my broken deck stash and I quickly painted it up this past Thursday afternoon, along my new intern assistant James Farrell.

Anyways, Cease it will be open for at least a month at "Fresh Paint Gallery" (180 Saint Catherine East, Montreal). Here some amazing pictures by Adida Fallen Angel of the Skatebot production day and the opening the following night: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150908342875381.760836.691325380&type=1 .

My art in Big O report on the mainstream news

2011-10-30T20:34:00.002-04:00

A couple of days ago Canada's main TV channel, CBC, had a report on their news show about Montreal's classic skate spot, The Big O (I am local from). In this report you can see lots of my good friend Barry Walsh talking infront of one of my spray paint pieces and also my new Big O Sanctuary graphic. I hope things go well with the transportation!!

Big O Sanctuary Graphic

2011-10-25T10:40:00.004-04:00

I originally did this Big O Sanctuary graphic for my good friend and legendary pro skater Barry Walsh. he was riding for Skull Skates at the time, and PD was supposed to use it, but he took so long that Barry just quit their team. Years passed and now the graphic was used by Halifax's Homegrown Skateboards (http://www.hgskate.ca/). They hand carved and silk-screened a limited edition of 36 boards with this image! Came out great. Then at the same time, EMCB MTL, a small brand from Montreal used the images for some wheels.
Both where launched a couple of weeks ago during a party. Here you can see a video of the launch with me lurking around and some of my art on the walls.

New Creation Webapage

2011-09-28T18:34:00.002-04:00

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have recently assumed teh position of Brand Manager of Creation Skateboards, from California. This means pretty much that I decide what the general style of the brand should be. This is right up my alley, since I have been doing graphics for them since 2004. Now I get a bigger chance to step up their game to the next level of evolution!!

Anyways, the first step was to revamp teh webpage and that was launched today. Still many changes to be done, but we got a solid dent into it. Please support this brand, that pushes recycled wood and conscious graphics, so we can grow and keep expanding!!

Im Creation Skateboards new Brand Manager!!

2011-09-22T15:28:00.001-04:00

It is obvious that I like painting on classic skate spots, cause in that way we can all skate on the art itself. Yesterday I did this simple piece at the infamous Big O Pipe. Lettering is not my strength but I wanted to big up Creation, the Cali skate brand I have been doing graphics since 2004. They are now promoting me to brand manager so I am stoked on the potential!
Creation also sets the intention for what I think skateboarding is about, as opposed to the stereotypical Destruction we're usually boxed in. In the pic Marc Tison shows a creative lip slide, with no destruction needed.

New Spray paint Shit

2011-06-22T23:25:00.003-04:00

Now that Summer is here I am back at doing large scale art with spray paints. Today I hit up the infamous No Damn Good Skate park in NDG, a cool Montreal hood I lived in for years. The place is totally DIY, done by skaters for skaters to rip during our harsh winters or whenever. I made them this "Worshiper of Fun" in the entrance to their L shaped bowl, next to a Ben Tour piece. Locals where stoked and I got to skate a bit.

Alchemyez 2011 Report

2011-05-20T00:31:00.005-04:00

This last week I was back on the Big Island of Hawaii with 30 of the top Visionary artists for Alchemeyez Visionary Art Congress. This time it was at the Hilton, which was mega fancy of a setting, and shocking at the beginning, but as I got used to it I mostly enjoyed it and had a good time with the fans, and my fellow co-creators.

The art was great as usual, and most of us did live painting during the endless epic dj parties. I also did a one hour slideshow presentation about my artistic journey, which ended up being more like stand up comedy. Everybody laughed tons and left there energized and inspired, or so they told me.

Anyways, if you would want to see a full album of my pictures there, please go here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150624505010381.684125.691325380&l=7cd3ac155b

A new 7 hour speech of David Icke in London has just come out on DVD. ON teh 4th disc, he talks about the evolution of our species and he used one of my most popular paintings to illustrate his point. So honored!! It's on minute 33: 50 if you want to check it out.
David Icke has never been my #1 consciousness research speaker cause he focuses so much on the negative side and gets so mad about it, but I do must admit that I agree with him in most he says and appreciate his work helping wake people up. Enjoy the video.

Moment of Truth, new mega painting

2011-02-15T10:31:00.001-05:00

I have been working on this puppy from mid December, until February 11th (Egypt's liberation), for 55 days exactly. I tried to step up my techniques game by adding airbrush (thanx to Luc Bouchard for lending me his pump) and oil paints (thanx to Kevin Ledo for the refresher sessions).

The piece is about a normal urban human as the middle of it's reality, at a crucial time where all parallel realities are open. As opposed to past mega paintings that focus more on worldwide and ancient cultures, I wanted to give more props to our own contemporary North American cultures. The man has a city landscape skate jam session going on to his right/east and a rocky mountain rain-forest surf session to his left/west. I also included graffiti and tattoos as art cultures I appreciate in our areas. The man is holing a power ball of light that has a crystal scull inside, the ancient technology we need to balance out the vibration and create the rainbow bridge to a better reality. To the left he has a futuristic ET , equipped with a Nintendo Power Glove, Zapper and Flux Capacitor (props to video game and psi-fi cultures) and to the right he has a multicultural Goddess Priestess with a mega crystal. Both shoot rays to activate his heart, so the evolution is complete.
Above we have a more higher aspect of the God face, complete with flower/plant soul, freedom bird consciousness, 3d flower of life and a votex into infinity! We also see the Sun and Moon on each side of the male/female duality of this canvas, as well as a dieing planet with blood earth and black oil sea (top left), and a pure healed earth (top right) that is upside down cause it is after the axis flip.

Anyways, big thanx to my reference pictures models: Barry, Valerie, Csilla. Please feel free to share. I can make canvas prints on request if you'd want this on your wall. Blessssssssss!

Sings of our Times

2011-02-08T16:31:00.002-05:00

Most doors on my block have the "No Flyers" sticker on them, yet the “Publisac” delivery man will hang their bags on our stoops and front fences instead. It looks horrible and it is super disrespectful towards us. Publisac is such a waste of resources: paper and plastic, trees and oil, and for what? Some stupid coupons nobody wants? Maybe I shouldn’t be so aggro with my installation here, but I just need them to get the message clearly and stop leaving their wasteful garbage all over my block and our city.

This picture n story was very well received on my Facebook page and recently made it to the blog "Sings of our Times" you can check here: http://networkedblogs.com/e1Nrk .
