Artists To Look V

One artist this month is an old friend of ours.

Jimmy Baptiste
I've probably mentioned him by stopping by to his last solo exhibit 08-08-08, in which I took photos of the vernissage.

I could say he's more than being an artist; he also took on as art instructor, and ran his independent brand of logo design wear in which he kept going once in a while.

His use of graffiti art style in paintings and illustrations shows his own passion for the arts and the distinction of putting creativity as part of its social urban environment.

You should check out his newly-opened artist site, which he has many drawings and artworks that interested slick designs that made more of its uniqueness in graffiti art form.

PIED[CARRÉ]MTL - group exhibition

I bumped into miss Kirsten McCrea at a café recently and mentioned of a couple of her art pieces in a great local gallery at the heart of the city: the Old Port.

The main purpose of this exhibition is a display of paintings and drawings no more than 12" x 12". Lots of artworks by more than a hundred local artists participating, including miss McCrea.

Each piece is $200.

Check it out; displayed until December 23rd (a perfect last-minute shopping day before Christmas Eve)!
