After watching the video footage of Ewok and Pose’s latest production and noticing some glimpses of quality photography interspersed between the clips, I decided I would extract those shots and share them. The actual video is extremely well shot but seeing these two talented members of MSK at work in the form of still photos—allowing more time for the imagery to sink in—is possibly even more impressive.

‘Faking It’ is a transformational battle against the odds. This episode’s faker is a 20 year-old country boy who is plucked from his natural habitat and given four weeks to make his name in the urban jungle as a graffiti artist—well enough to fool a group of expert judges.

Chill sunday afternoon painting.. 20 feet in the air on an aladdin lift, by one of Vancouver’s graffiti forefathers: Dedos, of AA Crew.

Sorry, I didn’t get an interview or anything. I’m not an investigative journalist—I just blog! I mean, I got some photos, what else do you want from me?? Just playin’ … I probably would have made the effort to chat with him and ask a few questions but as you can see, he was busy.. and high up in the air.

Head down to the Ayden Gallery tonight, some time between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM, and buy this guy’s shit. One of the most prominent artists featured, among a slew of other equally talented individuals, Tim Barnard’s work will be hard to miss. As he puts it, his “focus on the infinite extremities inherent in the possibilities of high contrast black and white automatic drawing,” has given him a very distinct and original style. Equipped with nothing but a black marker a lot of the time and filling up entire eight foot canvases, the dude definitely has some skills.
