Back to my roots: Analog photography. With so much time spent in closed quarters, I took the time to get back on the photography train. Set up my darkroom and woking on digital to analog transfers, as well, working out some older film cameras. Results are still coming, but happy to be back in my favorite setting... the darkroom... More to Come

HeaRth Multiple Exposure Photography Wheat Paste on block canvas

A newly purchased and renovated building's front foyer now has a freshly completed Mural done by yours truly. The theme is in my typical vain of image to place. When I first moved to Montreal 10yrs ago down the street from this location at a small park on a fall evening random encounter with a red fox in this urban setting marked me. I told myself if I ever do a Mural in this area I would recall this encounter in it.  A full wraparound Mural this the highlighted Red Fox welcomes you in the entrance of this building. Thanks to my friends at LNDMRK and the good people at MTRPL for this opportunity.

This Mural is my first 100% solo production in MTL. After many years of collaborations, production and assistance on countless murals, this is my first solo mural. The idea behind this mural is simple. Urban barn quilt, a sign of collectiveness and bringing people together. the colour palette bring together diversity and the cardinal is a representation of the building owner's father who recently passed. On rue Vaillant in quartier St Henri, Montreal. Completed in 14hrs straight, one day :)

First Solo exhibit in 15 yrs. Jackson's Falls in Prince Edward County hosted NotYourAveragePhotographer. A Mixed Media Street Piece exhibit on upcycled canvases. Burnt Plywood, Wheat pasting, Live painting and Lightboxes mixed with stencils showcase some new works, as well some festival one offs for resent festivals. On till November to harmonize with the changing colours of the county countryside. 

Montreal come to Toronto for a Block party with Mural Festival Montreal. Murals, Pop up shop & Parties made this a successful collaboration between Stackt and Mural. I took on the lead production role with the responsibility of painting Maser's Mural for him, as scheduling conflict did not allow his to make his way to Toronto from Ireland. Look forward to more instalments of this collaboration.
