GIGANTIC MURAL PROJECT ROCKING WHISTLER CANADA "FULL CIRCLE"
April – June 2009

Whistler, February 10, 2009 - Code of Creation kingpins, Daniel Poisson and Corinna Haight, have been commissioned by the RMOW (Resort Municipality of Whistler) and the Public Art Committee to produce a gigantic, super funky 65' x 6', two piece mural on the Blackcomb Way Bridge underpass in Whistler, BC, Canada. Whistler is a mountain biking, winter sports and outdoor enthusiasts mecca, North America's #1 ski resort and mountain host to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Recent travel abroad and life in Whistler gives Daniel and Corinna the unique vision for this new and necessary mural project titled: "FULL CIRCLE", to be completed April 24 to June 24, 2009.

Sure to captivate the viewer and leave a positive, lasting impression in the minds of the observer, the "Full Circle" mural will incorporate vivid elements of nature from the highest peaks to the deepest oceans. Imagine being perched atop a snow-covered rocky outcropping, basking in your glorious state of wonder and fulfillment. Set out in front, is the view out across the magnificent Whistler valley, overtop the towering vertical peaks, vast mountain ranges and luscious evergreens, beyond the tranquil, glacier-fed lakes, through the motionless rocky bluffs, across the seas shoreline into the weather-hammered, adventure-drawing seas and into the depths of the deep, dark ocean where the largest marine mammals on earth reside. This leads you back to the shoreline and into the valleys again, up to the mountains where you have begun your awe-inspiring, life changing vision; having now come: "FULL CIRCLE". Then add Daniel and Corinna's funk factor.

Corinna Haight has produced her own art and music event in Whistler, called Diversity, organizing over 30 artists and numerous bands. As well, Corinna has participated in group art shows including Artrageous along with selling and

displaying her work at Fitzsimmons Pub and Cafe de la Place. She took the first place prize during the Masterpiece In Motion global snowboard design competition in 2007. Recently Corinna and Daniel were commissioned for 5 months, in Panama City, Panama to produce artwork for Luna's Castle, a new, world-class hostel. She produced over 70 pieces in total, now on display.

Daniel Poisson, producing 50 pieces in Panama, also has a long track record in the arts. Having been called "Whistlers Own Picasso" leaves Daniel with the passion, drive and desire to fulfill his dream of painting...forever. His parents and teachers collected his art from the time he was born. Daniel has donated dozens of art pieces to charities as well as put private collections in place around the world. Daniel is well known in the Sea to Sky region for his large, bold live paintings at festivals such as TWSSF, Artrageous and Whistler Street Entertainment. His abstract African tribal pieces have become well recognized and collected, although his work is tremendously diverse and ever changing.

Daniel Poisson and Corinna Haight look forward to your contact regarding questions, interviews, articles or any other promotional reason. Press Packages are also available upon request.

3 MONTHS LATER!

Mission...ALMOST...Complete.
Yahoo!...ALMOST Travel time!

Corinna and I are in the finishing stages of work here at Luna's Castle. 4 days left...for now.
Looks like we will be flown back to Panama City from Guatemala in January for a couple weeks to provide the finishing touches on a major renovation, before we fly home in Early February.
We are in the midst of framing and hanging the last handful of pieces, solidifying our promotional materials, documenting all aspects and tidying up loose ends.
What a trip!
Here's a picture of me out in the street showing the Presidential Policia some of the paintings I did of them. I had some help hauling them off the walls and out into the middle of the road for them to see. At first they thought I was crazy for sure, but they couldn't stop looking at them. Alexis' smile tells it all. At least I didn't get arrested...again.
Thanks for the photo skills Corinna.
And YES, that is a Whistler Podium Auto Detail shirt I have on.

Luna's Castle is a truly amazing place, and when you travel throughout Central America, you will undoubtedly here stories about how people come here and stay a while. Many people overnighting it, end up here for a week or more. I get a little wild sometimes and the 160 vodka jello shooters I made the other night to toss around for good measure, certainly don't hurt the fun-o-meter, not to mention it's so damn hot, everyones nearly naked!

What Luna's lacks in a natural outback setting, it makes up for with gigantic space to move around, a jungle courtyard, lazy hammock breezeway, big screen movie theatre, free internet, timely laundry service, new guitars, bad ass art, panoramic ocean and city views and super rad vibes. Panama City is a modern hub and great jumping off point to South America and many awesome surf locations, islands and jungle treks.
Check out these little cuties we found on Isla Taboga, a 45 minute ferry ride from here.

Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
Yeah! The ones the natives used the poison from to tip their blowdart points for hunting.

Fiddler Crab
These little guys are reeeeeaaaaal darn fast and beautiful saturated reds, purples and yellows.

We found this guy in an old Army War Bunker on a hike. He's 10 inches long!

Redrump Tarantula
Actually....a little bigger than the size of my palm. On the trail at our feet.

Pictures of the finished project will be posted very soon, so in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this new work from the last 2 weeks.

BAIL INTO THE CREATIVE REVOLUTION!

Everyone hates math, so here it is...don't be a hater.
Controversy and sex sell. I have a girlfriend, so here's the other.
$700,000,000,000 -bailout
divided by 400 (approx.) the # of paintings I have at my disposal
equals $1,750,000,000 which is the price I would have to sell each painting for, to cover this soon-to-be-bigger mess than it already is.

After 3o hours of work, this painting tells a lot.

"$700 Billion bailout for only $100,000.00" - 36"x48" - "FOR SALE" $100,000.00

So this painting is only $100,000.00. It is "for sale" and we figure it is one hell of a screaming deal for that lucky person with a significantly smaller amount than $700,000,000,000, who wants a non-polluting, emission-free, tangible investment sure to become a valuable short-term and long-term reward.
Barely chump change for the right buyer and I guarantee I will personally deliver it to you anywhere, worldwide to ensure it's safe, mortgage-free, no-catch arrival at your doorstep.

If nearly everyone in the world didn't bite the baitless mortgage/loan/finance/economic money hook the savages threw in when life was cherry, no one would be in this position and we would never be on the brink of....wait for it..........
on a bigger, badder, more serious scale than any point in recent history..........

"A CREATIVE REVOLUTION"
Here it comes!!!!!!!
WHY?
When this economic situation has leveled out, millions of people worldwide will be affected. They will be forced to think about business differently, view issues far more creatively, see one another on a more empathetic level. People will find new creative outlets to live the new way they may have never experienced.
There IS more to life than money.
Many people associated with penthouse suites, stock markets, 10 bedroom homes, global portfolios, Armani suits(trademark), board meetings, Rolex(trademark), 3 meals out, triple Manhattan martinis, diamond cuff links, day trading, Rolls-Royce (trademark), and 7am-6pm forget to view the world from an angle other than standing atop a stack of 100's.
Creativity is a vast interconnected energy that once tapped into will bring about new, exciting patterns, freedoms, realities and truths.
Creativity, once accepted and utilized is uplifting, entertaining, rational and persistent.
Everyone has it in them, some just forgot to follow this path.

GET CREATIVE........SHOW SOME LOVE!!!!!
Think outside the box
Don't eat money even if it's all you have
and PLEASE.............buy the above painting.

Here are the other piece I have created in the last 2 weeks. ENJOY!
