Under Pressure 2010




Spending a wet Sunday afternoon checking out the graffers, skaters and breakers hanging out @ Under Pressure 2010. The light was dull and the place was packed, but I got some shots worth showing. Processed in Xprocess just like the old Kodachrome days. This adds some magenta colouring to this doughy day’s lighting. This illuminates a little better the mood of the peoples and arts displayed.

Hirundininae: Ruelle Verte

On October 6th 2023 in Windsor Ontario during Free for All Walls… I went down with a heart attack all while I was painting a Mural. After 6 weeks of recovery with many ups and downs both physically and mentally. I pulled myself together, made a deal with myself that life on the other side of this episode can only get better. My goal: come back better and stronger. Allowing everything to take its time and leaving myself open to continue exploring my creativity. Yesterday for the first time since Windsor I painted a Mural. With the amazing help from the best team mate, friends and talented hand  @jshantzart  Jeremy I can’t thank you enough for giving me the confidence to jump back on the horse. Push my style even further and continually being a positive and understanding human. Your the best.

National Gallery of Canada

Three years later, Jamie’s leaving the education department of the National Gallery of Canada. Changes have come to the department, and I must move on. Today was my last day. I’m sad it happened this way. I had three great years here. Giving guided tours, in community workshops, studio workshops and kiosks for ALL age groups. This environment has pushed me to get back to many art forms I had forgotten; Silk Screening, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpting and pretty much anything else you can think of in the visual art world. Worked with some amazing people, experienced some world class art first hand, but now it’s time. Much love to all of you, I learned so much in such a little time. images courtesy of Staff, Rebecca Miller & MIV Photography for the National Gallery of Canada

Fort Coulonge 2010

The Coulonge river, a beauty and legend of it’s own.  See Wiki article to understand the importance of this river to the Pontiac area.  Lucky for me this has been a yearly destination for OMG, 15 years! Like they say; time flies when your having fun. Can’t even count the number of times I’ve floated down this river in nothing but a life jacket. This year I was not able to do so as the river was the lowest I’ve ever seen it. Still got wet, both by the rain and the comforting water of the Coulonge. Enjoy the video of my week spent on the farm and I’ve also added some of the stills.
