Hi everybody, its Mr.Brown, aka me, haha, just kidding.  But I like the alias.  I ask everyone that reads this blog to write our local mayor and council on what you think of pay parking for lots 4 and 5.  Everyone should do it. I did. Gonna write them a special letter with my poofont. serious. do it people.  You should buy it too, its a great font to have!

Well well, if the boy’s (BMP) didn’t pull off another great show!  Randy’s place was hoping.  Yan Zombie had a great set, playing to an anxious  crowd.  Once the crowds left it was dance time.  Everyone revelled  to the tunes in the awesome  space filled with great local art.  As usual there was great diversity within the art, Dan Poison’s new works had some surprising new/old twist, go Dan go!  Arin Sieber was there, with Jose in tow.  Great to see them both.  Overall it was a success with some great art and good times!  Thanks BMP! Look forward to the next one!  This photo is one of my entries, it is Mal and Pepe!  In case you didn’t now, the name of the show was called, La Violenta tormento de art.

O.k, so I have put much thought in to the release of the poofont, so, now I have decided to share it with all my web friends!  If your not familiar with the poofont, well.  The site is www.poofont.com,  thats were the majority of info and history is.  I hoped to share it with you all before, alias, everything was not up to snuff.Poo history a la Arne.  About 20 years ago when going to the lew I noticed something odd.  When I looked in the white altar I saw a letter that was formed from my poo!  I was surprised as much as anyone.  So, I took a picture.  Well, it wasn’t long after that that I got another one.  20 years later I have compiled all the letters, numbers and most punctuation. Serious!  I then with the help of my designer Richard Meyers and my Vector-Man, Chris MacLeay have created the first ever human based, somewhat organic font.  The poofont!Just to reasure people that I am not obessed with scat and the outcome was brought on by suprise,  as I wasn’t expecting a letter when I first looked in the toilet that fateful day.  Being a photographer and a bit of a documentarist, well, I couldn’t not photograph my first fateful poo!  By the way, it was the M.Since that day I have created a book, stickers, t-shirts, with much more on the drawing board.  I hope to have these items available in the near future.  Right now only the font is available, for only $4.99, so, if you have any requests please contact me personally.Thank you so much for your understanding regarding this topic as it is a little weird.cheers and happy pooing.

Hi yall.  Big news in tiny town.  I am curating a show with 30 Whistler artists, of all types and giving them handmade paper to do what they will with it?.   The papers were either made with raw fibers done the traditional ways or post consumer material in a western style.  The show will be on March 12th at the Beaumont Studios in Vancouver.  On 5th just east of Cambie by one block, cool.  I will also facilitate a paper making workshop there the night before.  That is called S.O.T.  Every friday night they have an eclectic art appreciation night that is awesome, so stoked to work with Jude and Charmaine.  All the paper was made by me in my house by my little hands.  Hope you can join us either night, though the Saturday night show will be kickin!  Hopefully, Vinyl Ritchie will be spinnin a set, me too of course.

                                                                                                                           Please guess when this was taken?

                                                                                         Alrighty, the new year and time for some new fun!  Polaroids! Yup there still around!  Check out www.theimpossibleproject.com thats what has happened to polaroid.  Awesome.  It made me think that it was time for me to bring out some oldies and some recent shots.  You will have to guess which is old or new, dont foget about something called old film stock, or in this case, old polaroid stock.  Cheers mates and all the best! May we have a safe ride in 2011!  enjoi!

Again the changing of the seasons has brought me to the point of wishing everyone well again in the upcoming season, snow season that is.  It is a La Nina/El Nino winter, I forget, but, it is supposed to bring us snow!  Thats all that matters and that once again everyone is safe.   Other stuff, still got my show on in the hostel, it runs till the end of Dec, at the new Hostel in Cheakamus Crossing.  Its free. Got some other things planned, maybe another solo show? group shows abound! Stay tuned….This is a shot I did for the B-Grade Horrorfest, it is Mal, thank you Mal.

So, winter is slowly making its way to our crazy mountain town and I am having another solo show!  This will be the longest showing as it will be up until Jan 1.  It is at the new Hostel in Cheakamus Crossing.  The show is on the second floor and is always free to take a look.  Besides that, Chilli will be having a show titled 18 and over some time soon.  That should be fun as long as he dosnt shut it down early again, ps Chilli, I totally understand.  There will be a 3rd part to the Skulls show at Millinnium  Place in October, I think.  We (all the crazies) will present some kooky art during the B-Grade Horror Fest at the end of October.  I will also try to produce my first pair of Shitstixs by Christs-mas.  Wish me luck in that.  Besides that, just the usual level of debuchary and creativity.  pss if anyone wants to model for me just let me know.  cheers and keep on keepin on!!!  ohhh, and these cars were spotted one morning on the way to work, they are called Borgwards or something like that.  Havnt done any research but they are pretty cool visually, no?

                                                    Well another trip around the globe has ended with me now sitting in front of the computer doing countless hours of photo editing.  Just so everyone can see some of the sights that Japan has to offer.  What a visually stunning place for a photographer.  I am so lucky to have relatives that are willing to really show me the sites.  It makes a difference if you have someone helping you out,  even when you are used to the culture and now your way around.  I will be uploading many more in the weeks to come.  enjoy

  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!!!
