On April 8, 9 and 10, 2015, I worked on a mural project at Parkview Elementary School in Granby.

The theme was "Peace" and I created a background resembling a train inspired by Cat Stevens' song, "Peace Train".

The students filled this background with truly inspiring images and Cat Stevens' song was used in the video. I'm very pleased with the result!

Bravo to all participants.

"Looking Back - Looking Forward"

Hadley Junior High School, Gatineau, Québec March 26, 2015

On March 24, 25 and 26, 2015 I worked on a mural project at Hadley Junior High School in Gatineau.

The theme was "Looking Back - Looking Forward".

I created a series of pages as if taken from a diary or sketch book as a background to represent the past, and falling stars to symbolize the future.

The song "Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show was used in this video and I'm pleased with the result.

Bravo to all students!

"Vers le Pacifique"

École Jean-Nicolet, Montréal-Nord, Québec 18 mars 2015

Les 16, 17 et 18 mai 2015, je travaillais sur un projet de peinture murale à l'école Jean-Nicolet à Montréal.

Le thème était « Vers le Pacifique ».

J'ai créé un fond de fleurs et d'oiseaux comme inspiration pour le theme de La Paix. C'était la première fois que ces jeunes artistes ont dessiner avec un marqueur noir sur un mur. Le résultat est magnifique!

Bravo à tous ces jeunes artistes,

Parkdale Elementary
"The Art of Reading"

Parkdale Elementary School, Ville-Saint-Laurent, Québec March 13, 2015

On March 11, 12 and 13th, 2015, I worked on a mural project at Parkdale Elementary School in Montreal.

I created a background of book covers and pages to illustrate the theme of Reading.

I decided to use the song "Livros" (Books) from Brazilian composer Caetano Veloso. It's the only song I know that speaks directly about reading in a very poetic way, saying "Reading is responsible for the expansion of the Universe" amongst other beautiful verses.

Bravo to all students and art teacher Karolyn Liverman for this beautiful realization. Karolyn is responsible for infusing this piece with great attention to details.

The result is wonderful!

Bravo to all the participants!!
