A FULL WEEK OF ANTICS

I live in a world of symbols and signs that seem to change over time and disrupt my mind.
I live in a world where I torture myself till I feel what I feel and still feel like I need to feel

When push comes to shove, the things that happen, well, they happen.
When I come to push and shove there is nothing more than a blank stare
An open mouth utters one word.

"Ha."

When I look at what has happened, I can only imagine what will happen in the days and years to come. There is a journey forming.

Another week's worth of antics
More to come as always/

ONE IN THE SAME

I'M AN ARTIST

I'M "THE" ARTIST

A DEMAIN

Be You, I will love you

I can't see your bones but I can feel them
Thoughts of you keep me company like a fire to a home
Rags of clothing strain themselves to cover what is exposed

To feel you is to feel your heart
I don't need to be close to do this. Your heart is open no matter how much you'd like to ignore it.

Fail the test.
Do it.
Fail it and feel what comes from not being perfect.
You are not perfect and it's beautiful.

I see past those eyes and see truth in the tears you wont shed.
Shed a few for me and I would build a pond to sit around with you.

The things I would have done, and now the things I will do.
What will I do?

I will write this and hope it is viewed by the eyes of someone who cares. By someone who believed in the moments that were found and not created.

Leave the superficial and embrace the impossible.
For without the impossible, you don't exist... this does not exist.

Imposible is the foundation in which I live life.
If only you felt the same.

If my imagination could build bikes- Drawing Book

In the last year, I've played around with geometry and weird shapes a lot and have recently discovered a fun way to mix my love for bikes with my love for weird and random shapes.

 My latest collection of drawings entitled, "If my imagination could build bikes", explores all the insane ideas for bike designs that I would love to see rolling around in the streets. This is my first experimentation with this idea and will most likely put out future collections.

Here is a little teaser.

If you are in Montreal this coming weekend, you will be able to pick up a copy at the Marché Cyclart happening at the Cyclo Nord Sud headquarters
Here are the details:

7235, rue Saint-Urbain, Montreal
Facebooke Event

I'll be painting a bike live and will have not only this collection of drawings but also posters and maybe even some post cards.

If only

If only I didn't care that you didn't contact me today... my birthday.
If only.

That'd be be nice.

If I didn't care...

That would be nice.

I'd love it to mean nothing.
But it means too much.

Crushing reality.

Cam Novak's Painted Track Rims

Throughout my art career, there have been a few landmarks that really make me happy.

Years ago, I met an artist, bike messenger and all around cool guy named Matt Yathon. He was the first in Montreal to do painted rims and he inspired me to do my art on rims as well.

Being able to have my art roll around in the city is by far one of the best feelings.

Here is a variety of rims that I've painted over the years.

Interested in getting a painted rim? The sky is the limit.

One hell of a week

I Gave up on winter

Got excited about art

My art is now at 3418 Parc- Central Stamp is the best place ever. 

What the hell will this be?

Drank a lot of coffee to figure it out.

Some dude who doesn't own a track bike now owns some of the dopest track rims in Montreal

Had to redo a mural to make a "spooky face" disappear 

Shinny Diamonds instead....

Made it more colourful

Way more colourful

Gave up on life...

... and then built a bike

Made someone smile

Finished a painting

Cosmic fish meet and talk

They enjoy

For my summer wheel. Can't wait.

Started a poster for this-> http://www.facebook.com/events/169101436562147/?fref=ts
