AHA MEDIA views Jeremy Crowle’s amazing artwork
AHA MEDIA had an opportunity to view Jeremey Crowle’s beautiful artwork. He is a local Vancouver artist in charge of a multidisciplinary creative studio specializing in Contemporary Design, Illustration and Fine Art .

.Born in 1978 and raised on the west coast of Canada, Jeremy Crowle is a self taught painter and photographer. After invested much of his youth exploring the details and emotions of human relationship in his work, his early 20’s moved him to Vancouver to pursue a career in Fine Art. Crowle took up typography at this time as a means to incorporate direct messaging in his paintings in 2000, naturally becoming more interested in the principals of contemporary design and architecture. In 2001 he focused primarily on typography and design while still fulfilling commissioned works.
Crowle went on to offer architectural consulting, Art Direction and Photography services for a number of creative agencies internationally, and in 2007 co-founded Change Creative Group; a small illustration studio focusing on modern high end illustration and typeography. Crowle’s love for photography inspires a unique and emotive style that remains constant, while subjects depicted in the work are diverse. A simple palette and monochromatic imagery are often used to celebrate a subjects complex posture, as well as simple emotional qualities.
Jeremy Crowle lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia.

AHA MEDIA is pleased to be a Media Sponsor of the Out of the Rain program in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES)
Initiated in 2005, the Out of the Rain program in Vancouver is an evolving unique initiative that brings together professional and marginalized artists to promote genuine solutions to homelessness, as well as develop new methods of art production, sustainable art practice, life stability planning, and dissemination.
Special emphasis is working closely with those artists who face significant challenges (mental health, housing, addiction, poverty) to maintaining and sustaining a regular art practice but who, in the face of these challenges, persevere to make art as a means of survival and self-expression.

In this video, Hendrik Beune, Director of AHA MEDIA and former OOTR participant gives an introduction of OOTR’s new work space at the Flack Block provided by the Salient Group. http://www.thesalientgroup.com

What About Love? : Out of the Rain Group Exhibition
June 5th to 28th, 2009
Opening: Friday June 5th, 2009, 6:00pm-10:00pm.
Artists from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside show new work produced during Out of the Rain program.
Since 2005, Out of the Rain has been bringing together professional and marginalized artists to develop new methods of art production, sustainable art practice, life stability planning, and a professional exhibit.
Special emphasis is placed on working with artists who face challenges to maintaining regular art practice but who, in spite of these challenges, persevere to make art as a means of survival and self-expression. To this end, twelve artists are being provided with studio space, art supplies and sustenance. These artists were selected from over 50 interested and qualified artists.

This year, Out of the Rain is generously funded by the Social Responsibility Fund (through the City of Vancouver). Gallery Gachet (http://www.gachet.org) would also like to thank the Salient Group for providing subsidized street level work space in the Flack Block (175 W. Hastings at Cambie).

AHA MEDIA believes that Out of the Rain ( OOTR ) is an outstanding and very worthwhile project in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES ) area! We are pleased to support all the artists for their creative spirit and hard work to keep arts alive in our communities! 🙂

Greg Milne aka G-Rock, a Vancouver DTES “Outsider” Artist shows his work
Vodpod videos no longer available.
In this video, Greg Milne aka G-Rock, a local DTES resident and new “Outsider” artist presents his latest work.
He is a drummer and has been playing for 43 years! He has played with the band Rapid Fire in the 1980’s and waxes nostagically about his youth in the local Strip bars – the Marr and the Drake Hotel. He laughs on how two strippers took him to Hawaii for fun in the sun! 🙂
He recalls that 3 years ago that he couldn’t even draw stick men and now he enjoys creating art for the enjoyments of his friends! He quips that if “We only use 11% of our brains, then we have 89% left to discover ourselves 🙂

He’s been drawing for 3 years now and even his mother wonders where he got his talent from!
He proudly says that when he gives away his artwork to friends, they display it in their living rooms 🙂

Now at the young age of 50 years he says “It’s not the way you look past a first impression, it’s not having one that makes for a special person with a giving heart!”
AHA MEDIA is proud to meet G-Rock – A great Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES ) Outsider Artist helping to make his world beautiful 🙂
