Toronto Alternative Art Fair International

The TAAFI was held last weekend at the Drake and Gladstone hotels. At the Drake there was a cute old-fashioned photobooth I was checking out when I bumped into an old classmate from my landscapes class at U of T. We were catching up and she took me to see her pieces at one of the Queen street galleries, where she introduced me to the gallery owner. The owner agreed to take a look at my stuff to see if my pieces are worthy of representation, which is pretty exciting! (But now I gotta spend some a lot of time putting together my portfolio) I spent an hour there checking out the pieces and chatting around before I continued westwards to the Gladstone, where my 3rd year drawing instructor, Ed Pien, was showing as a Gladstone invitational. The first room I stepped into was that of Bruno Billio, who is the residential artist. I met him and he asked me to help him take a few shots around the room for his documentation. The rest of the afternoon I got to see a lot of really neat and unique pieces. Here is a collection of some of the artwork that were there. After finishing up with the exhibits, I headed back to the Drake photobooth to take some fun pictures of myself. Due to the silly/retarded nature of my poses, I'll withhold those from public viewing.
