From a word to a word- Matt Lodder

I haven’t done much in the way of non-photo updates in the past, but I think my friend Matt really captured some of the “why” in the following passage from the intro to the (consistently delayed) Scarwars book. Excerpt from Scarwars forward by Matt Lodder: “Why, then, are more...

Courtesy of Canada’s finest; Efix and Jesse got together and worked on a collaborative piece for Gabriel’s birthday. Collaborative pieces are surreal; you get a dislocation of sensation as the two (or more) artists work on different parts of the design.

five wisdoms buddhist scarification

Efix has been working on a lot of Buddhist inspired pieces lately; his latest one (on client Julie) is of the Five Wisdoms. (which you can read more about here: Five Wisdoms Wiki)

The intricacy of the design works really well with the subject matter; I’ll bug Efix for healed photos to see how it’s progressing.

Happy Birthday, Efix!

efixbday Happy Birthday, Efix!

We’re still months away from my visit to Efix in Quebec City; months to plan, make travel arrangements and most importantly save bail money. So as much as I’d like to wish him a Happy Birthday in person, it’ll just have to wait.

In lieu of a birthday spanking… Happy Birthday, buddy. Have a poutine on me!

lettering scarification

I hadn’t planned on updating tonight, but as I sat down to watch a movie and prepare for the threat of a major snowstorm I happened upon new cutting by my poutine loving friend Efix Roy.
He says this lettering took approximately two hours. Clean work as always. I’m counting the months till my summer trip to spend some time in Quebec City with Efix- until then….

Tabarnak!

efixblackwork Dont stop believin  Efix Roy

I sat here for a few minutes trying to come up with some clever title for today’s update; Efix from Quebec City is responsible for the work, but as for a title…. nothing came to me. I kept thinking of a Journey album cover, so in the spirit of the design….

Efix has been turning out some amazing work lately; I considered several kickass pieces before deciding on this removal. I’ll bug him for healing/healed photos.

snowflake scarification

The weather is getting colder in our part of the world; hopefully we’ll see some snow before the new year; Quebec City’s Efix Roy is getting a jump start on it with this snowflake/cherry blossom piece. Efix spent a few days with us at Xanadont a few weeks back- we’re already looking forward to visiting him in 2010.
