Final preparations! Don't forget, I'm going to be in booth 222!

Today is the start of the final week of preparations for the Artist Project and I am ready! All the paintings have been painted, booth layouts have been designed, bio's have been written and prices have been tagged. I will be spending the week playing around with plastic wrap and bubble corners, making sure all my paintings are securely wrapped for transport next week. 

Tomorrow I'm picking up a couple of extra pieces from Viva Vida Art Gallery, in case things go really, really well. Fingers crossed! I also have to prepare for some upcoming interviews later this week and early next week.

On Friday February 12th, 2016 Jono Dorion, Louis-Bernard St-Jean and I will be interviewed on The Friday Morning after on CKUT radio between 8am and 9am.

On Monday February 15th, 2016 Jono Dorion, Louis-Bernard St-Jean and I will be interviewed by Camille Ross, live on Morning News on Global TV Montréal at 7:20am

Can you believe it! January is already over! The countdown has really started now, it's only 18 days until the start of the Artist Project, I'm excited! Last week we received some great support from Anthony Bonaparte at the Suburban newspaper, you can read the article here.  

I also met up with my partners in crime, Jono Doiron and Louis-Bernard St-Jean, to work on creating some bubblewrap pouches to use when transporting our work, fun times! I'm very happy to have such a great team to work with on the preparations for the show! Thanks guys, go team!

Although I'm not creating regular v-logs at the moment I did create a new video to give you a look behind the scenes. If you are curious what happens in my artist studio and how I create my paintings you can check out this video. It gives you a look at the creation of my epic 48"x108" triptych 'Motion', which was part of my solo exhibition 'Viewfinder' early last year.  Enjoy!

And don't forget! I'm going to be in booth 222 at the Artist Project from February 18-21, use Promo Code BUISMANP16 to get a discount on tickets!
