NLA has some of the images from Sometime Ritual (daily desktops) hanging in their main hall way that acts as a gallery space.

This is just 40 out of the over 1,000 that are on Look Forward To The Past.

ONE THING OR ANOTHER Art Show

Walrus is hosting another event. This time they a solo show “ONE THING OR ANOTHER: Art by Randy Laybourne“. A majority of the pieces have never been seen, even on Look Forward To The Past.  The work will be up for about a month and if images are sold the are gone then and there (at once).

The work was hung salon style without frames so we could get a whole lot up.

Other Things Tee

There is a new tee (called Other Things) available through Walrus or by emailing me (laybourne at lookforwardtothepast dot com). A very small run in both mens and womens sizes for $25 each.

The Other Things art was printed in blue ink on a light blue tee.

Bobby Paul Art Benefit

The one night only deck art benefit, Bored of Canvas, at Bobby Paul in Port Moody made $600 in the period of 3 hours. With only six artists, the show had great results that will go toward Share Food Bank.

Drawing On Vancouver pt. 6

It was a dark and stormy night… but people braved the wind and rain to come to the Drawing On Vancouver opening at Walrus. Thanks again to everyone that attended, bought art, drank some Phillips beer, and had a tasting of Caroline’s Mother’s baking. The show will be up for the next month, if you didn’t get a chance to see all the great and varied drawings yet.

Lots of people braved the weather to come check out the art and have some Phillps.

Drawing On Vancouver pt. 5

Drawing On Vancouver, sponsored by Vancouver Is Awesome, hosted by Walrus and supplied with beer from Phillips Brewery is opening tonight at 6 pm and will go till 10 pm.

Walrus is at 3408 Cambie Street.

Getting all the pieces together in order to sort out what will go where.

Drawing On Vancouver pt. 4

Along with the local artists, Drawing On Vancouver invited a couple out-of-towners to send in some work. Porous Walker, Don Pendleton, Shawn O’Keefe and Josh Holinaty have never lived in Vancouver but have great friendships and connections with those who do.

Drawing On Vancouver pt. 3

Vancouver just has too much to see and do, even in the rain. The drawings I did for the show feed off images and the environment of this city. As I was working on the pieces (that you can see at the show), I had a few printouts of pics I took while roaming around. Along with photos, I did a couple sketches of stuff related to Vancouver.

For one of the pieces, I drew a market similar to the one pictured.

Houses with nice detailing.
