Artist Docs

During the pandemic I started making a documentary on my art. It was an interesting process of writing, shooting, sound, editing, and redoing, over and over. I learned that you usually have 3 good stakes, and the first one is always the best in the sense that it is the purest. It was a fun journey.
Documenting the Art Life….
Sometimes the art chooses the medium, and sometimes the medium chooses the art.
The making of the Santa mural 2024
I was commissioned in December 2024 to create a Santa mural for a hundred year old historical building in Wilmer B.C. This video documents my process with narration, time-lapse, and behind the scenes footage. This is an unsponsored video, I am open to working with companies and this is the beginning of many more videos about art and art process. I did all components from sound to cinematography, editing, and so on. Special thank you and shoutout to Adrian Nico and Flo.
