last sunday may 6th was the 9th annual Greynolds Park Love In Festival . It was my 3rd year vending the Love In Festival and my 4th year going. It is my favorite festival of the year. I can't wait for next years already. The park has been the hippie hang out since the 60s with jam sessions, poetry readings, peaceful demonstrations, dancing, and playing and this festival brings back all the flower power for a day festival celebrating the 60s with peace, love, music, crafts, food, and fun. They day was a perfect sunshine & some clouds day. Music played all day with fun cover songs of the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Tom Petty, etc and you just couldn't help but frolic around. They had The Rascals close the show and everyone was 'Groovin' to the songs. Greynolds Park is a beautiful nature filled park. It is a great setting for the festival with a nice hill with a castle on top the stage is just below facing the fill and people can ...

on march 31st i participated in a rad art contest at a surf shop in fort lauderdale, BC Surf & Sport. the show caught my attention in particular because one of my favorite surf artists Andy Davis was putting it on along with Billabong & BC. I have been a fan of his art for years and never thought i would get the chance to meet him. He is an artist from California his surf art has been on posters and clothes his paintings show so much joy that is from the soul of a surfer. he paints such life into the waves and into the surfer guys and girls he paints. they are wonderful. he recently joined forces with Billabong and has been creating art for them and making lots of rad shirts, shorts, hats etc. His art is reaching places i'm sure he would never have imagined. This contest was a great local art show with the theme of Waves, it was open to anyone to submit an original artwork with that theme and on march 31st they would have a show & announce a winner. Whe...

    flash back to july 22nd was an intergalactic fun time at IWAN The Bubble, hosting a fashion show with Betsey Johnson and other local indiependant designers. all who came got the chance to get a glamformation including glitter and big hair. a special host Travulous (a bowie like cosmic rock star) kept people entertained and closed the show with a great preformance to get people moving and shaking. this all happened after an out door runway show that included Total Recall Vintage, Fox House, Katty Munoz, Maria Veronica Rivas, Sean Murdock and Betsey Johnson Aventura showing her fall line. i got to walk the runway like a bird in a fun Betsey Johnson dress with flowy flowery sleeves that reminded me of wings. Lots of art sparkled on the walls and bands played outside. it was a great place to be in the cosmos. i painted a cosmic david bowie special for the occasion. peace & love

 Travalonia :) this saturday was such a fun celebration of IWAN The Bubbles 's Happy 2 year Anniversary. i captured some of the fun for the first part of the event and got some of the wall art and bands, but more fun was to be had and the camera didnt stay attached. thanks to everyone who was apart of the magic.
