The canvas - affrodable prints.

in ,

www.thecanvaswave.com Printing, matting and framing, can be sooo expensive these days.  Especially if your like me, and you want that sh*t to look good.  For the average teen-young adult - they go through life with some awkward posters and paintings there friends made them (wasted obviously) for there birthday, or tear outs from mags. Although we would appreciate something better it seems highly unnecessary to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to decorate our beer stained walls.  But I love art,  so when Jared Price hit me up about selling a handful of my photos at dirt cheap prices,  I stepped on board.

"Each photograph is printed to order on archival canvas with Canon Lucia ink, coated with varnish for protection, and wrapped around a 1½ “ thick pine frame.  We are trying to offer the highest quality product for the lowest price we can. We hope to provide you with artwork for your walls that you will enjoy and be proud to display for years to come."

$ 99 for a big ass canvas print, stretched ready for hanging and delivered to your door. Rad deal.  Even if your not interested, check out the site,  there's some awesome photographers stuff on there including:  Jordan Manley, Matt George, Aaron Dodds, and Matthew Clark.

Happy Halloween - Zombie Skatepark Blood

in ,

On set with Don't Sleep Productions.  Ben Stoddard, Dave Ehrenreich, Liam Mitchell and the crew for his submission for the B-Grade Horror Festival in Whistler. Missed the festival this year, but I checked in with this crew while filming the video.  Cool to see some of the special effects, makeup and creative minds going into this thing. The video is obviously way better then the still. Check that out here http://vimeo.com/31076557

LAX

in ,

Dawn and dusk. Photo and video nerds and nerdettes call it magic hour. It's flippin' magical. The slum, paradise, LAX, it don't matter where, things just look better. It's kinda like food in daylight. If it looks great inside with the shitty fake light, take it outside and it's probably gonna look 10x better.  Ummm, I'm hungry. A couple weeks ago I was flying back from New Zealand with 3 others.  Initially we were all seating together, but I moved seats during the flight to sprawl out in a vacant aisle.  We had a two hour lay-over in LAX before YVR.  I thought it was plenty of time, but shit didn't really pan out that way.   Tthe rest of the crew got some sort of cards (delivered to them on the plane to there assigned sets of course) that got them to the front of the 'super fun' line.  Everyone dreads that line. Waiting to find out if they are gonna let you into the country.  "What questions are they goona ask? What's this guy gonna be like? Am I gonna get that guy or this girl? I hope I get that guy, definitely don't want that guy. He's sending me into seondary for sure."

It's not like secondary is scary.  I got nothing to hide.  It's just annoying, and to be honest I feel violated when I go in there.  I am not doing anything illegal, half them don't know the 'rules' with my work, and  the fact that they are alloud to ask anything about my work, personal intentions, where, why, when, it just doesn't sit with me well.  Anyway, I waited in line like a sucker.  Still should of had plenty of time, but of course I got mister mean and went into secondary.   Classic 'do you work in America?' type questions, and on your way, 1 hour later and flight mid boarding.  The plus side,  they googled my name, so I got at least two more fans(chuckles).

Anyway, this is how I made use of my time.  Well..20 minutes time.  Asked a couple people if I could snap a pick, poached a few too.   Strangers reactions are always funny when you ask to take there photo, usually awkward, and sometimes really intrigued..  View post for pics.
