STARVING ARTISTS-1981 Vancouver

In 1981 I did a short film for Pacific Report on some artists in the downtown eastside of Vancouver and Gastown.
The late great Frank Fry was the reporter.
My old friend Mark Murphy (RIP) is one of the featured artists. He takes us on a short tour of his studio in Gastown.

Pretty wild to hear the same realities today existed back in 81 as well!

I love them all I'm a working poor artist and I stand and live for art forever. I sacrifice ridiculous life style choices BUT I WILL NEVER sacrifice my art for a lifestyle that just suffices :D support artists and giving them housing and the world will improve.
