Okay it’s not mosaic, but just about as exciting. In Vancouver, we barely get snow & when it stays we almost declare a state of emergency! ;-)


Snowy Day on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

We’re in the middle of a freak storm, there’s about 3 or 4 inches on the ground in spots this morning. For Vancouver, in November, this is *weird*. But hey, I didn’t have to drive this morning, so it’s fun!

Who is Guy Portelli?


GUY PORTELLI ARBS - Born . South Africa 13th June 1957

Studied Interior Design and 3D Design at Medway College of Art 1974-78I worked as a sculptor in the special effects dept for the BBC TV before setting up own studio in 1981, producing sculptures for the advertising market. My first opportunity in the world of fine art sculpture was being commissioned to sculpt 13, 9ft classical sculptures for The London Pavilion, in Piccadilly Circus, London. Elected as a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1998 and voted on to the council in 2000. Activly involved with the promotion of sculpture organising many group exhibitions.Having gained a reputation for Classical sculpture, I wanted to promote the more creative aspects of my work, and set about exhibiting my abstract sculptures in galleries, sculpture parks, Manchester Art House, Sausmarez Manor in Guernsey, and a major London show with Andrew Logan. Many large commissions followed:Sainsburys Lavender in Wallington,London. The Irises, a 5mtr bronze for a private house, and the Trafford Centre sculptures which was the largest commission in the U.K during 1998.

Guy Portelli Bio

“Seoul is the capital and largest city of South Korea (Republic of Korea). With over ten million people living within its city limits, Seoul is one of the most populous cities in the world. However, with an area of only 605 square kilometres, smaller than cities such as London or New York City, it is one of the most densely populated major cities, like Tokyo and Hong Kong. Seoul’s population density has allowed it to become one of the world’s most digitally-connected cities. It also has more than three million registered vehicles which often cause widespread traffic jams.” wikipedia
