Here are more shots of last week just before the show started, going to try to get into the city again soon.  Heading out Saturday to try and get some ski touring in,just out side of Whistler.  I’ll hopefully get some good shots and some possible shots of the village in Whistler if we can find some parking.  I’ll also be adding more photos to theartprojectonline.com later on tonight.

-Wish list for any art or images you like, like a favorites area.

-Product size selections on prints.

Still might have bugs or spelling, gammar, so pass that on if you see any.

Some fresh off the press images for a future show.  I think most of these images are on theartprojectonline.com site but will be on the new site for sure.  The new site will be coming your way in the new year.

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.

Yours truely and four other artists are hitting up The Fall Gallery @ 644 Seymour St, in the heart of Vancouver, BC for the month of September.  Stop in if your in or around the downtown core.  I’ll have all new work with some sneak peaks later on next week.

Pretty solid weekend in Calgary, AB for our big art show.  Had great weather and the drive went pretty good.  We also didn’t have to haul too much art home since we got rid of some inventory while we were there.  Not too much to say but it was pretty rocking and the morning came too quick.  I think the show finally got shut down around 2:00-3:00 am, somewhere in that area.  Good space, and a pretty good location.  We hope to have future shows there, so stay tuned.  Pictures below are taken by Grubbe. check his flickr out!

We got in Thursday night and hit Artlife Friday afternoon to hit the walls with our Art.  Things turned out really well, and the space was amazing for our little show.  I still have to get show images up but here are some shots of what we had to deal with as well as some of the set up to get the show ready.

Getting things in Place...

Artlife is located  at 1312 1st SW Calgary Alberta Canada.  Website is here.

Gearing up for the big show tonight at 8 in Calgary, arrived in Calgary last night at around 7 after some craziest from the night before.  Wednesday night we had a lot of work to do, from getting everything packed up, to me trying to get my three pieces looking right.  I had some issues in the beginning but got everything ironed out by the time the midnight bell sounded.

I tried to show most of the process of how I got to my final product.  The last step was probably my favorite, after nearly lighting my house on fire.  Wasn’t the best idea to play with fire on a dry treated wood deck.

Flexisonic will be rocking our show down at Artlife in Calgary on July 17, and these guys have made an absolute gem of a mix.  So good that I will probably be listening to it on loop 6 times for the drive from Vancouver to Calgary.  Check out there site for the mixtape.

If your in the Calgary area while we are there look us up on the 17th.  I am scrabblin to get my art in gear for this one-Game on…

Been another good week for adding artists at the Project. We just finished up adding Helen Bond to the mix.  She has a very distinct style that we enjoy and hope to see on some gallery walls in the near future.

She was trained in England and later emigrated to Canada where she works full time as an Artist from her Studio in Saint John, New Brunswick.  Hope your enjoy here work and look around the site while your there.

This week has been another busy week, we have added another artist over at the artprojectonline.com.  Pretty pumped about his work.  Charles Marburg brings us his talents from New York, New York, and gives us one more reason why one of our next shows should be in that great city.

My Favorite piece from Charles.

Keeping with the art side of things, I did some looking around yahoo a few months back and finally checked out deletedimages.com.  I’ve had many chats with other photographers about the amount of photos they take and how hard it is to delete or throw out the shitty ones.  Here is a perfect example of how those crappy, blurry, or just shitty pictures can be worth throwing up on a wall somewhere.  I’ve wasted a few hours checking out all the images.  Nice and simple site with a great concept, submit some photos while your over there.

One of my favorites from deletedimages.com

We have the works of Robert Cobb on our Site.  He is an american painter, with 35 years of teaching experience.  A landscape painter with a wide range of color.
