The Four Seasons, works from Silver at Kahawa







Top Spring {Work in Progress}
Fall {complete}, Winter {complete} , Four Sketches
each piece is eighteen x eighteen inches
acrylic on canvas
four hundred dollars each, full set for Twelve Hundred
For the month of January work from "Silver" {see tabs} will be hanging at Kahawa Coffee House on College Street, just East of Bathurst North side, three doors over from the Cloak and Dagger. Also we'll be showing the above "Four Seasons" series, which I've always wanted to do, and will probably do more of, so here's the first "Four Seasons" based loosely around Chinese Propaganda poses, yet also containing familiar "mad craft shoppe" symbols. When "Spring" and "Summer" are finished expect to see them here.

Custom Water Towers


The Who, Water Tower
eighteen x eighteen inches

Water Tower Sketch

Water Towers remain as popular as ever, everyone just loves them and we are fielding inquiries as to personalized pieces, whether it be bands {see above, Rock N Roll } or peronal messages {You Are My Sunshine} so if you'd like to lay claim to some real estate contact me here to discuss a commission. I quite like the high contrast between the white tower and the mod symbol.
