The past friday was Dan a.k.a. Danskee first solo show which was held at The Common… honestly Dan is such a talented artist that it’s unbelievable how he does his work. If you missed out on the first night of his work, do go to The Common to check out these art pieces yourself during Wednesdays to Saturdays because it is well worth it! For now here are some photos I took on that night…

Dan Chmielewski aka Danskee1 & 1/2 of Haven will be having his own art show at The Common on March 12, 2010. He will have several art pieces that under hush hush right now until reveal day. Pretty stoked to see what Dan has in store because I have not seen his work for awhile now…

Come out and support local art!

Tonight Mariel (Mariel Nom’s) and myself went to the Alberta Art Gallery to check out the awesome exhibits, BUT my favourites was obviously Karsh: Image Maker and the incredible sounds from The Murder of Crows by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. Karsh ability to create feeling into each portrait he did of many famous people in our time is incredible as well with his talent of lighting his subjects. With the audio presentation of The Murder of Crows was just unreal due to the fact it made you close your eyes and listen to every little sound that was pumping out of the speakers to create an image in your head. Unfortunately I was not able to take in photographs in the Gallery which was understandable SO this means you have to go check it out yourselves…worth going!

Afterwards Mariel and I got REALLY hungry…soo we went to Furusato which is btw the BEST Japanese restaurant in Edmonton! We ordered shrimp/vegetable tempura, assorted sashimi, and of course my favourite the dragon roll bbq eel…soo yummy! Here are the photos from our delicious meal…I know your jealous!

Enjoy!
