SP / SG Twenty Ten

Snakepunch is now being represented by Sleeping Giant gallery in Toronto. We have a bunch of shows coming up this summer from coast to coast, and with the cold months ahead of us everyone involved is busy working there butts off getting things ready.

Expect big things this year, as we are all super excited.

New Snakepunch site…. kinda.

Full site launching this month!

So Long, Marianne

I’ve been listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen lately, and during a break from work I decided to make a Cohen inspired poster. This is based off of one of my favorite songs of his, and I think it turned out pretty well. I have definitely taken a step back lately when it has come to producing personal based work, but I am really enjoying getting back into the groove of it. I think I am just a much more well rounded person when I am creating, so it is definitely a nice change of pace to stay in, drink tea and work on some art.

Tour Mode Tuesdays

Here is a poster I designed and illustrated for a night some friends of mine are putting together. It actually starts tomorrow at Blue Dog, here in MTL. Hopefully some of you Montreal’ers will come out and support. It’s gonna be a wicked night of Motown and cheap drinks.

Boys Night Out Reunion Show Poster.

Here is the poster I recently put together for the BNO reunion show. They were handscreened and limited to 45, so if you got one consider it a rare piece of BNO history. Anyways, here is the poster. It is super offensive.

More Fridge Door

Here is an article in The Financial Post about the fridge door project I was recently part of.

Two Hands.

Fridge Door

The fridge door I’ve been working on got picked up today to be shipped back to Toronto for the Junction Art’s Festival next week. Here are a few photos of the process, and one of me eating a burrito while holding a hammer.

This is the gnarly glue that is still all over me, my room, my clothes, and anything I have been in contact with the last two days.

The pictures don’t really do it justice, but as soon as I have some better ones I will put them up. And, if anyone has been following this project I am sure you can tell it looks nothing like I initially envisioned. I went for a more collage type feel, while still keeping the original idea in mind. I think it turned out pretty good, considering anytime I have any sort of deadline for ‘art’ I wait until the very last minute. For whatever reasons I think my work turns out better when i’m put under the gun.

Website Design.

I haven’t posted links to any sites I have built in quite a while, so here are three that I launched this week -

Custom Vinyl Die Cuts

East Island Screen Printing

As always, if you need a website built, or have any design needs, then get in touch with me.

Fridge Project

 

So here is the first ‘layer’ of my fridge for Toronto Hydro. From what I envision this will be printed out and cover the entire front, and from there I am going to mess with paint, pens, markers, etc and go nuts over the thing. I really like the idea of having digital meets analog ‘art’, and I think it will contrast well on the look of the old vintage fridge that I am using.

Check out the on going updates here.

Drawing

Drawing and ‘making stuff’ are the only things these days that keep me somewhat on point. It’s almost theraputic lately, and it’s definitely been a breath of fresh air to keep my mind off of the things that get to me and be able to create something. I’ve had this doodle lying around the house, and decided to mess with it a bit in photoshop. I’ve been kinda down lately, so being able to forget about things for even a little while is pretty refreshing.

Old Weird Door.

 

This retro fridge door showed up at my house the other day, shipped all the way from Toronto and originating from god knows where. The reason I now have it is because myself and five other artists were chosen to be a part of The Junction Art Festival this September in Toronto. Basically refrigerators aren’t the greatest for energy conservation, so the theme of the exhibition revolves around going green, the environment and alternative measures to what we can do to reduce the wasted energy being produced.

This will be the first of many blogs in the next couple of weeks where I show the progression of the door going from just an old fridge, to an actual form of art. Everyone involved is really excited to be a part of this exhibit, and it is icing on the cake that it is representing something meaningful.

Hopefully some of you Torontonians can come check out the festival. It is September 9th – 13th and should be full of some really cool things. Myself and the other artists will more then likely be in attendance, so come and say what’s up. Anyways, keep checking in to see the progress, it should be pretty cool.

Are you one of those girls with a mind?

Here is another doodle I put together. I’m gonna try and post something I ‘create’ up on here everyday. Hopefully they aren’t terrible.

Doodling.

Here’s something I drew a little while ago. I have a lot of random stuff like this kicking around. Maybe I should get around to posting more of it?

Lucero Print

I want this for my house.

One of my favorite bands, and the show took place on my birthday.

Buy me it here.

Sony

This is me at a ‘job’. Haven’t had one of these in a year. No biggie.

House

I hung some curtains last night. (This is what happens when you live alone, and have watched every movie you own 600 times.)

I couldn’t sleep, and ended up finding these hiding in a cupboard. I think they look pretty good, while Zoe says they don’t match the walls. This might be the case, but since there is a school across the way I don’t feel like looks are the most important factor -

a) I don’t feel like as much of a perv having wide open windows to an elementary school.

b) Now I don’t have to be terrified that I will wake up in the middle of the night and look out the window into the blood red eyes of a ghost child standing in the school waiting to steal my soul.

I also finally tackled dish mountain. It took a good hour to get through, and got pretty shitty towards the end (cigarette butts and old bozey limes). And for whatever reason I have been waking up at like 630 am everyday and getting a jump on normal people things before noon (laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc.). I’m not really sure why, but it feels pretty good. Oh, and i’m also getting a ton of work done which is great.

PS. Sorry about the photo, but when your digital camera is a 15inch macbook pro you can’t really get the National Geographic type angles.

The Gonz

I found this earlier today, and have been plastering it wherever I can, all over the internet. Mark Gonzalez is a huge inspiration to me, if not the biggest. He represents everything creative about a person, and the attitude that you should only do whatever brings you joy, happiness, and a consistent piece of mind.

Enjoy.

Work.

Some work I am finishing up this week -

Colin Moore Album

I have a ton of stuff to get to, but there is nothing like having a burning deadline to keep you on point. I really enjoy being busy, especially at times like these.
