jams' window display 2
I just wanted to post some photos of Jamiyla working on her display over the last couple of months...
If you want to see the display in person, its at Magic Pony (694 Queen west), and you can see more of Jamiyla's work here: www.jamiyla.blogspot.com. Her prints are for sale at Magic Pony as well now...
I think it turned out really great! Anyone who knows me knows I haven't been able to shut up about it all month...
Here is her initial screenprint that she based the installation off of...
And photos of the process:
This was around the time of Jamiyla's birthday... That night a bunch of us went to the park and drank too much... I put an opened bottle of Gatorade in my backpack (which contained my camera, ipod, and sketchbook), and didn't notice until we were leaving and saw my bag sitting in a giant yellow puddle... The next day my camera only took pictures that looked like this:
I took it apart, cleaned it, and it sort of works, but everything is pinkish... It sort of drives me crazy, that's why the rest of the photos look weird and shitty...
These are from last night... Jams, her roommate Stephen, and I were setting up...
I just borrowed Andrew's camera and took some photo's of the final product...
Ok, thats it, I swear I'll stop talking about it now!

jams' window display
For the last month and a half my girlfriend Jamiyla has been working on a big window display for Magic Pony... Its pretty much done now and she'll be installing it thursday night I believe... I'll post a bunch of pictures once its up, but in the meantime, here's a shot of her working on it...
During Jams' birthday party last month I put an open bottle of Gatorade in my backpack, and didn't notice for 3 hours... At the end of the night I noticed what i had done, and also noticed that my camera was also in there... It was literally dripping Gatorade from the seams... I took it apart and cleaned everything and it still works, but every shot I take with it now is pink... I feel like everything looks like a mid 90's Prodigy photoshoot or something...

Who’s Got the Papers?
Young Canada is committed to bringing forward survey shows that distill contemporary Canadian practice into a series of exhibitions that offer access to Canada’s most confident and ambitious young contemporary artists. A new generation is forging a path of innovation, creativity and technical proficiency which not only contribute to international dialogues within the visual arts but are also beginning to write their own. Who’s Got the Papers celebrates works on paper from a selection of artists and highlights the impact of what has come to influence a new generation of contemporary artists. Accelerated access to global cultures, and sub cultures, as well as a redefining of privacy and Interaction with digital social networking structures has created a set of influences unlike those experienced before. Today’s Visual Artists gauge and reflect the effects of this new landscape and our August Group show serves as a cross-section of drawing, printmaking and photography in today’s changing climate.

Store Back Online and New Book
My store is back online, and its got some new stuff on it... The item I'm most excited about is my new book...
Its small (5.75" x 7.75"), 24 pages, and black and white... It contains some of the black and white drawings I've done over the last year and a half, the ones I'm most proud of... It was published by Koyama Press, a great little operation based here in Toronto... Its called Wunderkammer No. 1 and the idea is that in about a year or so there will be a Wunderkammer No. 2, then hopefully a No. 3, and so on...
Below are some images. You can purchase it from my store, which is linked HERE. Its $8 plus shipping.
