After a couple week of preparation I was finally able to piece together highlights of my favourite moments in a short montage of the Coachella Music festival (Weekend Two). Three days of non-stop partying, dancing and enduring the scorching 42 degree weather. I must say I had the wildest experience of my life. I join my cousin and a couple other close friends on this journey, along with the IDKYBILY (I don't know you but I love you) gang.Here is how the story goes! [Keep Reading]

Hey Roosters, it's my first post and I would like to take this opportunity to shamelessly advertise an event that involves you watching me shake my money-maker on a stage (in a tasteful dance conservatory show). Bring your grandmothers. Bring your alcoholic friends! Bring a stranger from off the street. Virtually anyone can appreciate the art of dance in this setting. Except babies, they don't seem to "get it." 'Dance Reflections' is the annual Spring showcase of works presented by the Senior... [Keep Reading]

Winnipeg is filled with amazing talent. Every once in awhile you meet someone who is exceptional in their talent. For me, that is Celeste Brunel. I had the privilege and honour of meeting Celeste back in 2009. She was a part of a major art sale I put on annually in the city of Winnipeg. Celeste’s design blew my mind. She is one of a kind and is the true essence of artist, innovator and entrepreneur. I am inspired by artists but rarely do I pull the trigger on purchasing artwork. With Celeste... [Keep Reading]

Being an artist and creative person I am always looking for ways to put my own spin and unique touch on my home. Easy ways to express yourself, in your home are through art, books, colours, paintings, photography and furniture. But there are other great ways to express yourself and put your own personal touch on, and that’s with flowers. Though this is not limited to the home. This is great for the office or for all the guys and gals out there looking for a super thoughtful way to impress that... [Keep Reading]

As an aspiring filmographer/visual artist, dancer & musician, it is necessary to compile a set of essentials to carry around with on frequent basis. Simply to fuel drive and motivation. Whether I'm trying to stir up an idea for a new concept, or blog. Scavenging the interwebs for raw tunes through my Klipsch Image One headphones (16). Or jamming out on the portable m-audio keystation (13). There's always some way to keep this happy-go-lucky tech fanatic/futurist entertained whether I'm out... [Keep Reading]

With a population rounding to 700 thousand inhabitants, Winnipeg certainly keeps a small-town vibe. It’s nostalgically and gradually transitioning into a smarter/larger city. Winnipeg is currently the leading innovator of sustainability through hydro-electricity. The entire city utilizes hydro-power. In other words, Winnipeg literally runs on water. If you’ve never heard of Louis Riel Day, then you’ve probably have never lived in Winnipeg. Louis Riel Day was a day to indulge in fun and... [Keep Reading]
