IVY LOVELL: Smith Westerns

1/2 YEAR UPDATE

New/s :

-The gallery show I was in was a total success! "VACANT STARES" at Galerie SAW Gallery in Ottawa, ON ruled so hard. All the photographers involved were total sweethearts and supremely talented. Pregnancy Scares, METZ, and the Men played the opening party on June 13th, as part of the Ottawa Explosion weekend. Special thanx to Paul Galipeau, Luke Nuclear and the Hanlons. SO FUN!

There are 4 prints still available from the show, email ivy@ivylovell.com for details.

-Coming next month: "TIME OUT" 2012. New work from The League showing at Pure Prime Laboratory (140 Hepbourne St, my new house) with a BBQ and day show style party. 1 band TBA! More detail real soon, I promise...

- Backup singing with the wonderful Jess Nicolette in The Sphinxs! Comes a time...

2012: 1 down, 11 to go

This January I released my Yearbook, in case you didn't know. Check out what NOW! had to say about it. Resonacity, Alan Cross, and AV Club Toronto all spoke some words about it too. If you want to see what my brain looks like, come check out the permanent instillation in The Shop, where my best work from 2011 is plastered on the walls. Upstairs I have a gallery show featuring 12 of the best photographs. It will be up until February's bitter end.

Much thanks to Mark Pesci, Hayden Menzies, Aminda Wood, Ryan Halpenny, Chrinine dont-know-yr-lastname, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple other people, for helping put all the photos up. Much love to all the bands that played too.

Here's some pictures I took for Melissa of her somewhat recently opened, incroyable hand-picked vintage store, Chosen. Which I love.

Castor Design launched their new line last weekend at Parts and Labor. They threw a free show with Cut Flowers ( Andre + Andrew of the Deadly Snakes + Chaaaz), Teenanger and METZ. It was beyond nuts. It's common knowledge that I love both Metz and Teenanger, and those dudes were all super tight on Saturday. Oh, yeah I broke my nose too.
