| We
are the"Bird Watchers of North America" Three friends living in three different cities decided they wanted to work on some collaborative pieces together. Tyson Bodnarchuk (Montreal), Aya Kakeda (New York) and Garrett Van Winkle (Winnipeg) began mailing each other drawings to add to, colour or whatever else that came to mind. The finished works are beginning to pile up and the B.W.O.N.A.C are ready to start exhibiting. Look for exhibit dates in the very near future in New York, Toronto, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary. we have a blog now! our first show is going to be in Montreal in May!!! |
