New graff

Being a hot sunny summer in Montreal doesn't really make it easy staying at home doing art indoors, so I've been doing more n more spray paint art in different spots, preferably where I can also skate. I recently got a small sponsorship of Sabotaz cans (brand from Greece) making it affordable. Here's a couple of pics. One i did this morning at my local skate park (Rosemont) for my friend Nilton Neves' upcoming book. The other one is one of the pieces i did at the new Urban ambush Yard, a skate paradise in the underground of our city.
For more pics of new art I've done lately, please go to my facebook fanpage here.

My Spiritual Wedding

A week ago I got married to the Love of my Life. Though this news isn't business oriented, I chose to mention it in my blog because it is something important for my life, and in a way it was an art expression in itself.
The intimate native American/Celtic ceremony was a magical experience, let by a Algonquin tribe elder. It was beautiful and I cried like a baby. If you would like to see the full album of it, you can go here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=469862&id=691325380&l=11ac9a158a

Alchemeyez show in Hawaii

I just got back from the Big Island of Hawaii where I spent a very magical week. Other than the beautiful weather and Nature of this volcanic island in middle of the sea, I also delved much into art. On my first full day there I had a lil solo event at Oasis Skateshop where I signed boards, black-books and then did some live art, a trippy fish with spray paint.

Late rthat week I joined over 20 of the best Visionary artists at a nature retreat centre, for Alchemeyez, a Visionary art congress, basically a festival where we the artists flown there where teh focus. It was epic. The art by everyone (including Roberto Venosa, Martina Hoffman, Alex Grey, Carey Thompson, Luke Brown, Xavi, etc.) was great and all of us did live painting together at one point. I also took a painting workshop with the Venosas and heard speeches by many of my favorite artists. There was much more enjoyed, but I will let the images do the speaking. Go Here for a full album of the event.

Bombes Sur Le Main

Yesterday I participated in a surprise "Urban Intervention" in the intersection of downtown Montreal's busiest Avenues (Saint Laurent and Saint Catherine). There are all these porn/streeptease shops that got closed down in that block and will be demolished at the end of summer. So Under Pressure hired me along a bunch of the best graffiti artists of Montreal (including other crews of mine like La Paria and EnMasse) to beautify this area.

So I painted up a shut down store front with a big spiritual Godface. Peeps seemed to like it as I even got interviewed for the 6pm news on CBC.
You can check the report here: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/Canada/Montreal/ID=1507273561

So enjoy these fun mural's over summer! Bless!
