If I Were A Boy...

You can tell a lot by a man's choice in footwear... I repeat, A LOT.

THE EMPERORS BLACK ROSE

ENEMIES TURN TO LOVERS

LOVE ONES BECOME EXCUSES

DISTANCES SEEM LIKE REASONS

AND SNAKES CHANGE THEIR MASK FOR THE HUNTING SEASON

INTERPRETATIONS ARE MY NEW NIGHTMARE

STILL YOUR IMAGINATION MAKES ME MORE THAN JUST A MAN

I WONT STOP, AND I WILL SAY IT ONCE AGAIN

FOR AS LONG AS YOU GIVE ME YOUR DREAMS

I WILL CONTINUE FILLING THE BLANKS

Federico Cabrera

NOBODY IS RIGHT IF EVERYBODY IS WRONG

the beautiful

the outrageous

the liar

the gent

the whore

the fake

the crazy

the sad

the bored

the envious

the critic

and its our silence

what we feel

what we live

how we see

its you and me

to be all we need to be

inside our bubble of dreams

where we can reach out and feel

by Federico Cabrera

Fiona Ackerman in Abstract Beginnings...

One of the more recent Lab Artist Series artists with the Lululemon Lab in Vancouver showcased the stunningly abstract and multi-leveled creations of Fiona Ackerman. When I saw the piece, the first thought that came to mind was "limitless imagination". Looking a little deeper I found that my mind was not wrong...

"Originally from Montreal, Fiona Ackerman is a painter living and working in Vancouver, BC. Since completing her BFA through Concordia and ECIAD, Fiona has exhibited across Canada and in Europe (Germany & France).While Fiona’s work is diverse in style, it is deeply rooted in the practice of painting.  Whether working on a wild abstract piece or a delicately rendered portrait, her approach is at once playful and meticulous. Through her painting, Fiona is continually reinventing the way she represents her world, her environment and the places of her imagination." 

Cut it out...

Lucas Simoes has perfected the art of layering. With images that layer up to 10 times,  her creates a specific depth of illusion in his cut out art. The photos of his friends sharing their deepest secrets connect on such a deep level that it is easy to believe the viewer might also dare to tell theirs...

Rodebjer S/S 2012...

I don't think I have ever loved canary/butter yellow as much as I do after seeing the Rodebjer Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Design lovely, Carin Rodebjer of the New York based modern woman's collection, has taken an often "off the point" shade and presented it perfectly in communion with sky blue, soft whites, perfect peach and pops of periwinkle. The color combinations paired with billowing silhouettes, various textures and both masculine and feminine structure is ideal for the anticipated season...
