The St.Albert Children's Festival 2014 and new costume update.

I don't have much to say in regards to the International Children's Festival in St. Albert other then go see it! I, unfortunately, will not be attending as a performer this year; I really do love the culture of the children's festivals, and they have some of the best international shows I've ever seen, but it just wasn't in the cards for me... this year.
Please go to their website if you're so inclined: http://www.childfest.com/

Now, on to the important stuff: my new costume. I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit behind. Ive just found new pants and jacket, and Im still way behind on props...maybe lights? too far? Anywho, Ill be working with more acrylics in this costume that I have in the past. It will make the costume much harder to produce because Ive relied heavily on spray paint, and I still will be using spray paint, but I want more texture and character in the build. Challenging myself  is another big reason for the change. Here's hoping!

Here's a few pictures from last years festival:

Space and Time.....

This will be quick post, more of a teaser really, but Im working with a new theme this year and Im hoping to share it with you as I build. SPACE and TIME is my theme for this year, and a modernization of the cowboy theme. It'll be completed this month (or not, perhaps June. Who really knows) and ill be blogging what comes out of this exploration.

The Paul McCartney Concert gig, 2012

A few years ago I was asked to work the Paul McCartney Concert Tour held at Rexell Centre back in 2012. I was part of the CFR Rodeo the month prier so they extended their olive branch to me to part of this as well. They needed a Royal Guard so I was set up in Northlands, to co-en side with their impromptu "tail-gate" party.
It was in the middle of November and I was growing a pretty gnarly mustache as part of the Movember fundraiser; the Royal Guard don't typically have mustaches, but I was only caught once so I didn't do too bad.

And those sneakers aren't fooling anybody!
