Art with a story...

Guillermo Forchino.

He first caught my attention, when I was living in Powell River. We have a local grocery store called "Quality Foods", that has a gift shop upstairs. It is filled with kitchen gadgets, art, and other unique quirky items. I was walking around, and then I saw it. A wild, and crazy, Volkswagen hippie van, that was made with caricature characters! It was love at first sight.
                                                      
                                                          "The Good Ol' Days``
I had to find out more, so I checked out his website, and instantly fell in love! The detail that goes into each piece, is simply unreal.
Love, Love, Love!!!!

No Sleep Till Brooklyn...

Today, a pioneer of music passed away. Adam Yauch, a.k.a MCA, from the stupendous posse, known as the Beastie Boys.



This trio defined my adolescence, and it truly saddens me, to lose such an inspirational contributor to the music industry. 47 years old, is far too young.

You will forever be missed. We'll continue to fight for our right......

Rest in Peace.
