Freddy

This coming weekend I am taking the cube on a road trip to Fredericton NB! My roommate and I are going to go visit my cousin who just moved there! Should be fun, I have never been to Freddy and we are going to snowboard on Crabbe Mountain! This will be my 6th time out this winter/ever! Last weekend my roommate and I went to Martock and I fell and sprained my wrist pretty bad… The swelling has gone down and I think by the weekend I should be “OK” to go snowboarding again! Haha I am stupid I know, but the season is almost over! Martock!

The weather is starting to get nice and warm here, I cant wait to get my Cube nice and clean again! I will have to get my winter floor mats out of there next time I go to Bathurst! Anyways that’s all for now! I have just been busy with school and trying to find a job for after I graduate in MAY!!! :D

 

CUBES RULE!! <3

Entrevues

Demain c'est le grand jour ! J'ai deux entrevues dans des grands cabinets d'avocat à Montréal. Je sors donc le Cube dans la Grande ville. Souhaitez moi bonne chance !! =)Cube

Austin bound

It's been forever and I've been really bad at updating over here, so many things have changed in my life and basically I felt like the rug was pulled from under me. But things are about to change again and I hope to be posting here  regularly again, probably even more so, to catch up. 

Anyway, I'm about to embark on my biggest Cube roadtrip to date. Driving out to PEI and the Cabot Trail over the Labour Day weekend last year was pretty epic, but this time I'll be heading down to Austin, TX. for SXSW. I'll likely be tweeting a lot from @photojunkie, but I'll also be using my Cube twitter account @JPCube so follow along if you wanna see my Cube in the wilds of America. 

 

Advertising Award

Last night I attended the ACE Awards (Advertising Club of Edmonton) for the first time. I've been in Edmonton for about 4 months and had only one submission for the 2009 awards show. I created a self-promotional piece for the agency I had been interning at. The piece was a Christmas card to be sent out to clients, the concept being to make a wish for those less fortunate, as our agency would be donating turkeys to those in need. The front of the card was held together by these plastic wish bones that looked pretty real and actually snapped apart. I concepted and designed the card, which I'm pretty proud of!

I knew the piece had been submitted to the awards show, but never expected anything to come of it. When they called my piece for the category of self-promotion, i was utterly shocked! The Cretive Director then motioned for me to head up on stage with him to accept the award and say a thank you speech. This is definitely a better than expected start to my career as an art director!

Western Canada Tour/San Diego/Olympics Recap

Hello my cube-loving friends! I figured it was time for a fat ol' update, since February was absolutely packed and there's a lot to talk about. First of all, my CD dropped in HMV, CD Plus and Sunrise Records across Canada on Feb. 2nd. To promote the CD release, we kicked off the Western Canada OneByOne Tour (I've posted a video below to give you a taste of what it's like touring half of Canada in the winter - what was I thinking?! : ) ). It was actually and truly a blast despite the cold and we met so many incredible people. Right after the tour I headed to Vancouver to take in a quick dose of Olympic spirit and play at one of the Victory Ceremonies at BC Place.

As some of you know, when I'm not playing my own music, I perform with Canadian Country Artist, Paul Brandt. Paul was the headliner for the "Alberta Night" Victory Ceremony (the night Maelle Ricker received her gold medal for snowboard cross!). That was such a fun show, for obvious reasons.

Nuit Blanche @ [SAT]

Hey cube community!

I had a great night Saturday doing VJ at the [sat] society of art and technology in Montreal. The Nuit Banche/all-nighter indeed!  We had thousands of people come through, dance with us and test out Toon Loop to make stop motion animations.  Some pics from fellow Vj MarXel3D and thank you to DearMinds.com. Me with VJ Tonio.  allisonMoore VJ

tattoos:: what i've been up to...

in

When I'm not scootin round in my Cube, I spend a lot of time drawing my clients' tattoos.... and then tattooing! I've been keepin' busy this winter and...here's some work I've completed lately! 

WHAT A MONTH!!!

With the Olympic hangover in full effect, with withdraws are all on a positive note. This is an amazing time to be a Vancouverite, and we thank all who participated and watched the events. During the 17 days there was much more going around the city, and many companies held social events at various locations. I had the privilege of working for Monster Energy and Nike 6.0 filming and editing their events.

Here are the movies.
