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.

"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.
