Studio Progress - Beat Nation @ the VAG, a set on Flickr.
In preparation for Beat Nation at the Vancouver Art Gallery, I was asked to post the progress on the new work I’ll be creating for this exciting exhibit. Two an a half weeks to paint 67 drums. Late nights, coffee and rocking out in the studio, what more could a boy ask for?

Join us for this evening of dynamic dialogue on Wednesday, January 19 from 7 to 9 pm at Club 560. Before the event, we invite you to explore the No Windowsexhibition from 6 to 7 pm upstairs at Satellite Gallery. Free admission.
