Q: Two shows this week? A: Hell yes

Hey Internet and Art enthusiasts,

I have two shows this week at York University. One is a group show with a bunch of super talented drawing students that are pushing the boundaries of drawing itself! The other is a bit more "out there" where I will be putting in my paper skeleton into a study room of the scott library for a short period of time. I think this should be really awesome on account the art is in a section of the campus not occasionally open to this type of art work. Should be a good time. Anyways, the drawing show will be open all week in the Gales Gallery and my library show known as Paper Bones will be happening Wednesday the 10th from 12PM to 2:30PM (you can only book off these study rooms for so long). Well, hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Billy

the reception photos

Here are some pics of the Los Rechazados show I was in last week with Anahita Loghmanifar, Samantha Madonik, Joshua Vettivelu, and Andrea White. Also, just wanna say thanks to all who came out. Really appreciate it, thanks again

Some news and a paper hand

Hello Interneters,

I'll be setting up my group show "Los Rechazados" come this Sunday and hope to see a lot of people there. I also engaged in a 24 hour workshop (12 hours each day) to produce some artwork so I made a paper hand and put it into a gallery with several other works. Here are some pics of the hand:






I've also gotten back into drawing (havent been drawing as much because of classes and whatnot) but it will take some time to finish them due to the amount of detail. I'll show some "in progress" photos later on.

Anyways, Los Rechazados reception will be at Gales Gallery at York, this Thursday from 6-9PM. See you there!

skeleton and los rechazados

Hey Guys,
Haven't posted in a while. Here are two pics of a piece I've been working on for a long while. It is a skeleton I have constructed completely out of paper and masking tape. It'll be in a group show called "Los Rechazados" with four other emerging artists. For more information, contact me via gmail or by any other means. Cheers!

five-person show

I'm going to be in a five-person group show in late January (25th - 29th). I'm showing with several other emerging artists of different mediums and standpoints. I imagine the reception would be on the Thursday so, if you have time, come down. More information later or if you want to know more comment or contact me.

december now...

New post and it has been a while. School has been a little hectic but here I am and I have pictures. For the past little while I have been occupied with studio classes and other classes mainly focusing my time in foundry and in video. For foundry, I have been working on a bronze apple. It's really surprising that I spent perhaps three months on something that's as big as my fist. I've also been working on some absurd videos. The last one I did was, more or less, a modern take on Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. If you're interesting in seeing it or perhaps buying it, contact me via email. I will have pictures and possibly the video uploaded soon but no promises on the video. I might just take some screenshots of it. Anyways, here are some pics of the paper version of myself I entitled "Big Dummy"

interesting developments...

Dear Internet,

How are you? I am fine. Just thought I should let you know what's been going on as of late. Well, if you might have noticed, I have added some links of other artist friends that I like so you can investigate their artworks and that. The works range all over the place: drawing, painting, photo, sculpture, miniatures, and computer art.

I would like to add as well that I will be having an upcoming group show in the Gales Gallery of York University in January 2010. I am planning to have a sculpture in the show and one to three drawings. More details to come. Thanks for listening Internet. You're pretty cool.

Sincerely,

Billy
