That's all I got for now, I guess after a whole year I forget all the things I "loved" (i tend to change my mind A LOT). Whether it was for a short time or the whole year, there was a lot of good stuff that happened. If you have been following this blog then you already knew that.

polaROIDS from the trip

Here are some polaROIDS from our trip. Camera broke but was able to keep it together to get a couple photos's. Click on them to make them bigger.

This is on the way down to california, it's what i used to think america was before i moved here.... not much has changed in my mind.


my lovely wife, actually smiling.


outside my favourite art show to date.




this is the changing room at supreme


Chad Muska's supra and Kr3w shop.


Also went to Family books, that place is awesome. The photo wasn't so awesome so i won't post it... actually none of the pictures are that awesome... oh well too late.

after seeing beautiful trees, landscaping, the ocean and just all around cleanness, it thought is was funny that they labeled this "breathtaking"


Trip was fun, lucky for me my in laws are rad and my wife puts up with art galleries and me spending hours in book stores. Thank you.

how rude

I just thought of how rude it was for me to leave on vacation and not inform all 3 of you blog followers. Expect a semi decent post on my return next week. This our first lengthy vacation in a while. I guess i'll give a hint on our whereabouts, we saw a really fabulous art show yesterday.

barry Mcgee is one of my favourites.

saturday morning

While looking through this book, and listening to this band, I started to get that feeling where i think i have some artistic talent. I quickly made these little "sketches" before i forgot my AWESOME ideas.






They all have a personal meaning that I don't think makes sense... I'm most likely not as funny as I think I am. To me the dialog between the eggs is hilarious.

green apple "peep show"

finals week

It's was finals week over at the Pack house and this is what most nights consisted of....


...That was until these bros stopped by

Pat, Tyler and Evan made good use of the skateboard mags and videos that often sit around our house

Gabrielle gave a free Wii Bowling lesson

Pat "enjoying" some art.
It's about time this blog got a little more charleswood.

Bram

Bram has been a friend of mine for some time. He recently had an art show at green apple shop in Winnipeg. Wish I had been there, I've always been a fan.

The Young Victoria

I can't wait to see this one... I guess this genre of films is another guilty pleasure I don't, but maybe should, feel guilty about.

God save the queen.

no title

Luke Perry?.... dope

old picture

Trying to find a picture to post, I realized my style may have changed a lot through out the years. Even though I have gone through many different styles, I seam to be back at the beginning.

Celebs + bad timing = funny

While flipping through my latest GQ, I came across this add. It's not a bad add, it's just bad timing that makes it funny. Here is why. It's rather funny that the add comes out with him being the face of integrity in the midst of a sex scandal. At least it wasn't Tiger Woods....

hungry like a wolf

I forgot about wolfmother until my itunes "party mix" played a tune of their new album. Pretty solid.
