I will have more up on my flickr and will be adding most of these to the art site ::downloads for 7 bucks.::

Checked out a few of the Olympic hot spots that are around the city on Friday night.  Most of the cool and interesting things are best viewed at night.  Didn’t get as many good shots as I would have liked but a few came through.  Did manage to get to the Olympic rings on the water by Stanley Park as well as the mess down at the Art Gallery.  I’ll have to head down again to see if I can got more images.

Spent my Saturday night hitting up a few events in Vancouver, first was a show and auction held by PUBLIC magazine! in  a cool little space across from the  new Woodwards building.  Some really cool pieces and a good mix of different talent.  Shots from the show can be seen here.

After the Public magazine launch party, we headed down to Chapel Arts for I heart Van Arts Launch Party for a festival that will be during the Olympics in Yaletown.  The crew that put this event on did an amazing job and used the the chapel to perfection .  A lot of  talented artists, as well as a large range of mediums from the music, art, and sculpture.  I was impressed with the overall set up and huge turn out.  They are also looking for volunteers for the festival during the olympics, so check out their site if your interested.

After the night out, headed down to some of the main venue that will house the Olympics.  Some really interesting structures and buildings all around the false creek area.  The hype has  started.  I don’t have any tickets but I will have to head down and see the gears turning, maybe check out a few of the free things going on.  Found a list free music concerts from vancouverisawesome.com.

Things are looking all good. There is the half a million affordable housing.

The non science world, its the center to learn about 2014 in Russia. I think...

See a hint of Cypress from Downtown.

Photos from yesterday for today.  Shots around my house, went for a wonder.  Got some happy shots before it started pissing rain.  Will be adding some pix to our stock digital downloads section on TAPO.

This was the display window @ Champagne and Lace, with some reflection off the street.

Interesting house just down the street from me, the roof is just weird.

The old court house at the end of my street, shot first thing in the morning.

Been playing around with a few ideas for wood frames, and different ways to present art.  In a previous post I had some fun with chemical stain and good old fire.  Some shots of what the original frame looks like with out fire with a different piece.  Looking for some feedback…which is better.   These pieces have been added to the ART PRO.  If you want one, try out our new ordering system, its pretty mental, in a good way.

Photo Thursday…, shots from the start of the week,   was so pumped to see the sun.

Been pretty busy these last few weeks getting the list around the house smaller, one of the big things that got finished up was getting power to the side shed on the house.  It was the last step towards a second workspace where I can do work that I can’t do indoors.

Once I got the locks and all the tools set up inside, I was able to finish up a few pieces that I wanted to fix up and get on to the art project.  I’ll be selling this as well as a few others on the site for 65 bucks. Click here to see it on the art project

Final Product

Took a few shots of the after all the ripping and shredding.  It was a cool but beautiful morning and had  some sun creeping into the living room.  So very interesting light and makes the morning that more enjoyable when its not raining!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and are getting pumped for 2010.  Should be a great year with a lot of good things to look forward to.
