A solo show by Drew Young featuring small experimental works on paper. Destruction and transposition are the crux for this series. Drew fractures his oil studies in order to force his figures into new and obscure contexts. He also draws from a bank of abstract marks to create balance between the erratically positioned subjects and the intangible.

Young has exhibited locally and internationally and been featured by Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, Booooooom.com and BlueCanvas. He is also the curator and organizer for Snag, the worlds only weekly live-painting raffle.

Watch an interview with Drew Young:

Interview with Vancouver photographic artist Danielle K L Anathema. In a single frame, she creates an entire story… a horror story. If you’re sensitive to gore or nudity, viewer discretion is advised.

Interview with Vancouver comic book artist, film journalist, and self proclaimed “smut peddler” Robin Bougie. While some of you may be offended by Robin’s more sexually explicit work, his view on censorship, especially self-censorship, should be watched by anyone afraid to actually do work he or she really wants to do.
