One of my originals
From my olympic collection.
My favorite piece at the show done by Patrick Walsh.
Headed out Thursday after work for the show in Calgary at Endeavor Arts. Spent Friday and Saturday getting things ready for Saturday, then headed out to Banff for some late season ski touring.
Ready to go.

On the way to Banff to Calgary. I miss the big skies.

Got some sun on the second day.
First lap of the day.
Hard to see the track after my ass slide on the first run and got the camera filled with snow.
Last one is usually the best one.

I’ve been toying with this idea for a long time. My grandpa was going to throw out all these slides that he didn’t want anymore, so I decided to save 192 of them from the trash. I came up with a lighting box concept, similar to ones that I have built before, but this one will be an actual lighting box.
I will be making a few more of these as more slides come in and with be for sale on the art project website. Be looking at about 350-400 dollars for one of similar size
The basic materials used. The frame size will be 20 inches by 4 foot. Perfect size for over the fireplace. Also have 2x2 and 1x3 wood for the structural framing. It's already primed white..
Basic frame built with the 2x2 and a 33 inch light and switch.
Glass inserted and is cut to fit the 20 inch by 4 foot frame. The glass was placed in between the 2x2 frame and the 1x3 outer frame. All ready started gluing the slides to the glass. Used a weldbon glue that was a quick dry.
I tried sorting the slides into colours and glued in a sequnced but didn't have enough choice of colours and slides to really make it work. Total of 192 slides, and took about 45 to an hour to glue and sort them all out.
Final result...pretty happy with the final product.

Some shots from this afternoon, Dan and I didn’t endure enough pain so we took a trip down to i-candy. We didn’t go for the generic symbol that you probably have seen on a lot of legs if you where down watching the Ironman on the August 29th. Spent quite a few hours trying to figure out how to draw it out, pleased with how it looks on Dan’s bicep. I ended up getting the IMC on my forearm, with the three characters, swim, bike, run, on my rip cage.

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.

Trying to get training back on track after a crazy wedding weekend. One more work week then it will be Victoria time. Getting pretty amped up, should be a good race and hopefully the weather will be as good as this last weekend.
I didn’t get a chance to put these photos up but here are some shots from Thursday morning. I don’t think I have ever seen light like this. I was loosing my mind when I saw it, and was so stoked when I saw my camera in the backseat.
Some shots from friday night. Fun time, good turn out and all around great event. Some great feed back and thanks for all who attended. Can’t wait for our next show.
Month Long show is up til the 30th of September. We are hoping to do an opening reception on the 18th starting a 9pm, so if you haven’t been to see whats up on the walls –come out and check it out. Here are shots of whats up!
Trying to get everything loaded up and ready. Having some fun getting everything ready. Few shots of whats going down. Studio is getting a little full. Tuesday is going to come fast.
Placing some imagery together for the upcoming show for the month of September, and had a bit of a slow down. Ended up shipping a few images off to the press tonight. See how everything matches up and how well the colors look hopefully tomorrow night. I am doing something similar to what I did for the show in Calgary but with a little different technique and a few more steps. :: link ::
Here are the images I am currently working with and hopefully by friday I’ll have a pretty good idea of an end result. I’ll show all the steps once everything is put together.
