Dollhouse

Hello. And welcome to the guided tour of my dollhouse.
I recently helped with the sets, props and a bit of costumes for a music video for a Montreal/Swedish band, Thus Owls (I think my official title was Assistant Art Director). It was the best! I was put in charge of making a dollhouse for the head of the lead singer, Erika. It took me 4 days and at least 48 hours. I might have gone a little overboard. Please excuse the mediocre photos, the lighting in my apartment is terrible. I'm going to take better photos when it's nice out.

 Full house. Keep in mind: insert head.

Side house. Note shingle job, and flower box.

Top Floor dream bedroom. 

Bottom two floors. Note: yes, that is stucco.

I put a red LED in the tiny lamp for the video.

Bedroom detail. Note: family portrait, bed skirt, tiny pillows.

Kitchen detail. Note: tiny faucet, linoleum counter, stained stove.

Burned curtain.

Landscape painting.

Tiny little footprints. Note: I screen printed the wood floors.

Here is the music video:

Wild Ways

My friend and roommate Conrad released his band's first EP recently and used my multiple exposure photos from Burning Man three years ago as the album cover! So cool. You should listen to his album and/or download it for free.

Annah Mackay everybody

The onslaught of photography continues. Now the guilt sets in but this is how it's going to be for a while.

This is my friend Annah Mackay. She has some photographs up at The China Cloud tonight. So if you live in Vancouver you should check them out. And all 3 of my roommates are playing shows in their respective bands: Alanna Stewart, the debut of Lacuna, and Wild Ways. It's going to be fun! If you want to know more about Annah and decide whether she has good enough taste to have nice photographs (she does), you can watch this video I made of her and check out her blog .

Jaguar Mode!

A short little music video by the band Jaguar Mode (featuring Long Blonds) masterminded by Garrett Jones and Adam Gilmer that I did the filming for last week at God's Pocket. Sadly, to the dismay of their many fans, both Jaguar Mode and Long Blonds are now broken up.
