    Bill Helin is of #Tsimshian / #Norwegian decent and is a member of the Tsimshian Nation, born and raised in the Northwest Coastal community of Prince Rupert, BC. His father was Arthur Helin, his Grandfather Henry William Helin, was Chief of the Gitlan Tribe, and his Grandmother Maud Helin, was Chief of the Gitgeese Tribe. Bill spent many hours listening to his grandmother in wonder, as she told him many Legends of the Tsimshian People. By the time he was three, he was already drawing and it wasn't long before he was amusing his family, friends and teachers with caricatures and cartoons. For the most part Bill is a self-taught artist. He learned from books, and was soon mastering techniques such as three-dimensional forming, called repousse. In the 1980’s Bill was sponsored to go to K'San, BC's famous #IndianArt and Carving School in Hazelton. In February 1988, Bill attended the renowned Gemology Institute of America in Santa Monica, California, completing advanced courses in gold smithing and gem setting. Today he lives and works from his studio/home on Vancouver Island.

    Bill spent most of his career, which started in 1979, carving traditional Tsimshian wood carving, jewelry and paintings. His art has evolved from creating large wood projects such as a 40 foot long Ravensong Canoe in 1993 and working on the world’s tallest totem pole with Richard Krentz in 1994, to illustrating children’s story books and working on many animation projects. Other projects include working with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to design three mission patches as well as some education materials.

  27. SCAF’s Jaw-Dropping 3D Graffiti: Gollum and Other Unbelievable Urban Illusions

    French street artist SCAF is amazing at creating 3D graffiti that grabs your attention. His newest work brings Gollum from The Lord of the Rings to life in a breathtaking scene.

    It shows Gollum crouching on rubble, looking like he’s about to leap off the wall. SCAF used real rubble and clever props to make the scene even more realistic. His attention to detail and use of perspective make this artwork stand out.

    SCAF’s older pieces are just as impressive. One shows Sulley from Monsters, Inc. smashing through a wall. Another has a creepy skeleton face that looks like it’s coming out of the shadows. He’s also painted a huge purple snake that looks ready to strike and another scene of Gollum sneaking up on a sleeping person. SCAF’s art is fun, scary, and super creative all at the same time.

  28. In the hands of New York street artist Tom Bob, the cityscape becomes a canvas for wildly imaginative creations. This ingenious artist doesn’t just exist in the world; he’s on a mission to transform it.

    Tom Bob specializes in turning the mundane into the extraordinary, breathing new life into everyday urban objects. His world is a playground where drab urban furniture becomes vibrant art, each piece infused with Tom Bob’s signature playful spirit and vivid color palette. His creations – from charming characters to whimsical animals – invite passersby to pause, engage, and most importantly, smile.

    The scope of his creativity is vast: an ordinary pipe becomes an anteater, a dull fire hydrant transforms into Princess Leia. There’s no limit to what Tom Bob can conjure with his creative vision. While his work is predominantly seen on the streets of NYC, Tom Bob’s transformative touch extends far beyond the city limits, sprinkling creativity wherever he goes.

    With Tom Bob on the loose, nothing is safe – everything is a potential canvas, a chance for an ordinary object to become part of a delightful urban fairy tale. He has an uncanny ability to

  29. Today is bright and crisp in Edmonton, and I thought Churchill Square might be a good place to visit on my first day back in a long while. It didn’t have the food trucks and patio chairs I had anticipated, but it did have some interesting Christmas decorations. 

    The artist probably anticipated snow on the ground when they devised these giant snowballs, but sadly the lighting cable coverings are still very apparent. Thanks to some curious visitors who showed them to me, I discovered windows in one of the snowballs and when I looked inside I saw a very elaborate train set.

    I could not find the name of the artist for the sculpture in the following pictures, but if and when I do, I will post it here. The colourful protrusions are a lot of fun, and they too would probably look even better if there were snow on the ground.

    Here enjoying the skating rink in front of City Hall are a few folks who have it all to themselves.
