East vs West

Lifetime Collective, Ayden Gallery and Three Monkeys hosted an in-store exhibit featuring new works by a crew of Montreal and Vancouver artists.   My urge to buy art has not yet been quelled, so I have some serious pondering to do.   But in the meantime, cupcakes, colourful beverages and good times were had by all!

Ohhh, I love this one! That funny little creature is called "Falafel" by Kristian Adam.  And one rad customized sewing machine.

Bam! Get your art on until July 1st!

Kevin Ledo

That's it, I've been immortalized! Forever young (ish)!

Kevin Ledo is a friend and artist whom I've had the pleasure of exhibiting with in several group shows has painted a small series of portraits of yours truly.

So that's me in paint!
Kevin Ledo is a Montreal based artist whose work focuses on beauty and religious iconography and  has been exhibited and featured in a whole slew of places and spaces, from Belgium to Ucluelet, from Juxtapoz Magazine to Cool Hunting and is part of my favourite collective En Masse. 

For those of you who will be in Vancouver, BC during the month of April, Ledo will be showing new works at the Ayden Gallery.  Get your art on!
