Hi.. as everyone knows it is the day before the games begin in Whistler! Yup! I have taken a photo from the exact spot for over a year and a half, well, no more. The location is at the bottom of the Dave Murray Downhill and now I cant get access to it because of lock down. So here is the last photo from this location, until I compile all the others and publish them later. Cheers and wish us well during the games, may they begin. Good luck athletes!! Goo Canadaaaaaa!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got selected for The Whistler Art Walk during the Olympics. I will be displaying at the Fitsimmons Pub during the games. It will be up during that time, though it would be nice to see some of you at the opening. Its a bunch of new stuff in a new style. Cool. Pepe will also be showing with us and we all love his work. Should be a fun opening and I hope you can make it. Cheers.
Well, I wont say with much sadness that I will miss 09. It was a hard year hear for most of us in Whistler. Some more than others. I wish everyone well in the new year and that it will be better than 09.
Hi ya’ll. Well if you didnt know, Whistler is opening on Saturday the 14th of November! Yippee!

Thanks, ohh, and please pack out what you brought in, especially you military folk, cheers. Now lets have some good clean winter fun!
Well well, if another of the clan aint 40, yup, this one is Pepe! A good time was had by all, I think, as we celebrated the man’s 40th with a big pot-luck diner and some good friends. Photos to come, hahahaha. Now we just have to wait for the next one, I dont think it will be that long! Cheers Pepe!
Well, they said it is a great place and I didnt know before know, but Maui is great. This is Aki’s first step on to a black sand beach just outside of the town, Hana. Craziest darn road in N. America, yup! Awesome. There will be many more soon, unfortunately we are still here sooooo, I gots to back to the beach and will upload more later, Mahalo ya-ll. Cheers.
I know, I know. Some are saying, come on Arn, this is old news, dont you listen to music, or watch the art scene much? Yes I know that appropriation has gone on for a while, literally, it just seems to get a little over-blown latley. Music in paticular, not forgetting art though. With the recent case of Shepard Fairey bringing it to the for-fornt thats all. arghhh. But a cool thing I found on the net was that there are other boardstars out there that I didnt know about. I mean what? Anyway, check this link out and have fun, not to much but some. happy twirling! http://www.upsb.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=21869&mode=threaded&pid=300966
Well, the 2 photos below give one a perfect or somewhat so example of the copyright issue I think, correct me if I am wrong. But, I am using corporate logos openly displayed in a work that is not authenticated by them. Yet the next pic is heavily altered, so does that mean the first photo cant be mine but the second image can be? Funny little photo situation huh? I guess if no one sues me then I am just not that famous yet!
Well some of you know that I do more artistic things besides photos, not many others know. Heres a pair of shoes I did for one of the Blind Mute shows a couple of months ago that I thought would look good on the site. This was a german collage consisting of material that I picked up there. It is a variation of some shoes I did a year ago that were an applique of pure hemp sublimated to the shoe. Very Awesome! Will have pics of that soon as those shoes turned out fantastic! Check out the Blind Mute page for previous shows at www.blindmuteproductions.com . Don’t forget, art can be worn and should be!
