pubble people

this was the first image i pick because of the name of the school (Leo) later I thought the wizard of Oz caricatures, the lion stands for "Courage" the tin man stands for "heart" which this school has tons of, and the scarecrow stands for wisdom or "knowledge"

The mural is 8 feet high and 12 feet long we use over 900 tiles to do it so each students gets to paint 2 two 3 tiles each.( lots of great little artist) every one from kindergarten to grade sixes and adult teachers. cool to see the variety of styles and subjects.

coffee table book

Phil Alain and myself went down to Calgary for the MRU book launch of the mural,(called, Work Of Art) The book used the paintings to tell the history of the school and honor certain individuals who helped build this wonderful place

Mount Royal university had all the art in this stunning mural publish in a beautiful coffee table book, nothing but class from this school, they sell the book on campus if you wish to get one.

ted talks

Back in November I had my big chance to do a ted talks, and man did I blow it,

here's how it went! the first half I would paint frailty I was going to paint an old man skeleton like but because I was nervous I jumped the que in the music and never finished the first half of the painting, then it went down hill from there, BIG DISASTER, you can watch for fun... I don't think they will be inviting me back :(

live painting cont.(youcan fundrasier)

on Saterday I was asked to do a live painting for "YouCan" organized by Kyle Dube, great guy. he gave me some key words to focus on "transformation relations," "getting out of harms way" the only image that came to my mind was an elephant being led down a path.

It was actioned off by Alberta's music legion Danny Hooper (raised over $4000) awsome danny
