AHA MEDIA encourages everyone to go out and hear Bob Petterson and other local Vancouver musicians play on May 23rd 🙂
Bob Petterson says ” I’m fortunate that I get to work with some amazing local musicians and that two terrific local singer/songwriters are willing to make use of my modest talent on bass guitar.
The headliner for the show is The Mike Webster Band. More information available here: http://www.mikewebster.moonfruit.com/
Mike’s set will largely feature his original songs along with a handful of diverse, and surprising, covers. Magnetic West features all-original music by Randall T. Carpenter who also happens to be my compatriot, and the lead guitarist, in The Mike Webster Band.
Main thing is come out and have some fun! ” 🙂
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 hears Sherman’s thoughts on the changes in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside
AHA MEDIA encountered a local Vancouver Downtown Eastside Aboriginal/Native man named Sherman as he was shopping at the Astoria Hotel Cold Beer and Wine Store on Hastings Street in the Strathcona neighborhood of Vancouver
AHA MEDIA has known Sherman for a number of years and always regarded him as an always smiling, happy go lucky man with a postive attitude! 🙂 He enjoys making people laugh with his easy candor and quick wit.
In this video, Sherman thoughtfully gives his insights on the changes in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES). How some things are better, the same and worse in our community.
AHA MEDIA further learned that Sherman had a private school education which would explains his knowledgeable articulation on camera and awareness on issues endemic to our area.
