The cover story for Metro news. Thanks to Kate Webb for writing it and photographing me at the last minute (ya, the day before the opening!)

And the piece in the Vancouver Sun. Thanks to Erika Thorkelson for writing this one.

FK IT DUDE (mostly) opening night video

Here’s a little video (mostly) from opening night of FK IT DUDE: an art show that really ties the room together. All the art is inspired by the 1998 Coen brothers film The Big Lebowski. It ran from September 21-30, 2012. More details here >

Hot One Inch Action last night


Last night’s Hot One Inch Action show at the HAWC Gallery was crazy. People were arriving before it started (it was rainy so we let them in) and by 8:30 the place was packed. We had a line-up outside for a while but luckily food truck JJ’s Trucketeria was on hand to keep everyone happy. Looking forward to the US shows and next year’s 10th anniversary in Vancouver!

Hot One Inch Action in Vancouver

Hot One Inch Action at Hot Art Wet City Pop-Up Gallery on Saturday October 27, 2012. The trading was hot at the button show as costumed party-goers filled the gallery for the 9th annual event. Despite the rain, there was a line-up to get in and JJ’s Trucketeria outside serving up delicious food to keep people happy.

Hot One Inch Action is the original, one-night only show of button art and social interaction from Vancouver, BC, with the tiny art of fifty different artists reproduced on one inch buttons. These limited edition buttons are displayed on the gallery wall and the audience is offered the opportunity to buy randomly selected buttons in mixed bags of five for $5. Didn’t get the button you want? Trade with the people around you… how bad do you want that button?! That’s when the hot action starts.

MUSIC: “Blackout” by Amoeba Men
