“SMILE ON YOUR BROTHER” Premiering Summer 2009

// About the show
Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer of www.clubmumble.com fame, “Smile On Your Brother” , is an art show centered around the original shape of skateboards when they first hit mass production. This seemed the perfect canvas to launch the contributor campaign.
The idea behind not only the show, but also overall project is to hopefully inspire people to think about their first skateboard and what it meant to them. For many skaters, this still represents a pivotal moment in their lives, with every last little detail, fresh in their minds. Bringing together contemporary artists both in, and affected by the skateboard industry to help raise funds to go towards the first goal of Contributor which is to donate 100 skateboards to disadvantaged youth across Canada in 2009/2010

So I got to paint this awesome mural in this spot that I love.
We were almost finished.
Then this happened because the owner of the building walked straight up to us while we were painting and said ” It’s Ugly” We were like, “pardon”. {all in high English} He went on to say it was fugly and he was going to paint over it and how he liked the old shitty mural underneath it {you can see it peeking through}. We almost got into a fight when the big boss, basically the man who runs the man with bad taste, said it was”beautiful”. Then the little man turned to us and said, “OK. You can finish it”
We finished it alright.
Good things happen to good people. Bad things happen to bad people.
