the first fluke

"St-Carley"

This is 45 minutes after my brand new brush dipped in student quality oils for the first time ever at the Massive black workshop in the Old Port here in Montreal.

My friend Carley came for a visit the same week-end and got body painted by Andrew "Android" Jones and posed for the traditional artists in the middle of this big old distillery building. With my best friend on stage and surrounded by a dozen of our generation's best (Shawn Barber, Dan Dos Santos, Michael Hussar) I bought a shitty paint kit and tried the feared medium... Holy discovery! Why didn't anyone push the stuff on me when i was 12...
