Final day at this mural today. Finished and tightened up all the spraypaint. Really like how the black and white train works with the background. All hand painted.. . . . #stanmatwychukart #forwardtogether #mural #art #squamishmurals @stanhopeprojects #muralart #artist #artwork #ınstagood #spraypaint #train #mountains #bcartists #squamishart #publicart #originalart #illustration (at Sḵwxwú7mesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjb69rcr-To/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Caution satisfying post: My projector was not up to the task for this large wall. I normally dont use projectors because I think its cheating 😜but I thought I might need to due to the upcoming seasonal change but the weather cooperated so I hand lettered this wall. Typography always stressed me out however with the help of some math and painters tape I got it up. Here we go.. Forward Together. . . . #stanmatwychukart #typography #handlettered #painterstape #tape #satisfying #satisfyingpost #lettering #forwardtogether #squamishmurals #workinprogress #originalart #mural #art #painting #squamishart #bcartists #bcart #instagood @stanhope_projects (at Sḵwxwú7mesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjYNmTUrvFE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spotted in its natural habitat.! I was sent this photo by a friend out biking. Making trails especially MTB trails in Squamish are kinda like the movie Fight Club. First the idea starts out in a dank basement (pub usually). Then the idea gathers strength and people join in to build it up. Eventually, the idea takes on an identity all its own and gets wildly accredited with more people wanting to join. The idea then becomes ideology/ corner stone of the community (heard of the trail Full Nelson?). I still don’t know where this sign is in reality. It lives in the forest in Squamish somewhere surprising people when they bushwhack up a mountain. When you get there though just remember. “ His name was Robert Polson.” 🚵🏾‍♂️ (at EARTH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-p5bYJ0Sy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cup of Joe.? Sure. Now you can get a cup of Stan at Zephyr Cafe in Squamish. Love how these turned out. Thanks Zephyr for the community collab. Illustration is the best.!

Level 4.0 is here. Thank you for all the bday messages. This post is a tad late. A lil update- My boat re-power project has been a success after years of work. Just had a sea trial. Working on a handful of fun art events & projects this summer. Super stoked. Became a Federally approved Transport Canada certified Marine Operator. Known as a Masters Certificate. Yes, Captain Stan. Halfway through a real estate certification course. Looking forward to what this new role brings. I know we dont see each other much but know that you matter and I am happy to have you as a friend. My life is in fact better for having you in it even though some of you are digital.! Until then, here is a video of a new friend of mine. This rare sighting of a Sea Otter in Squamish that just hung out and cleaned up its fur for hours at the dock. . . . #seaotter #seatrial #boatrepower #yachting #westcoast #boating #trawler #realestate #masterscertificate #studying #explorebc #squamish #playoutside #wildanimals #boatlife #boat #yachtlife #summerofstan #captainstan (at Sḵwxwú7mesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeCqSZJp6Q3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you to Galileo Coffee for the opportunity and trust to create this art signage. This artwork speaks of Galileo’s inventions and discoveries within our Universe. Acrylic Latex/ Spray Paint/ Watercolor Pencils / Ink/ Plywood panels. It was challenging to layer these panels off the wall and to make them appear to “float”. Go check out their new location in Squamish at the old Northyards Cidery location in Squamish. . . . #stanmatwychukart #homebasestudios #squamishartist #bcartist #galileocoffee #coffeeshop #coffeeshopart #bcart #originalart #artsignage #plywood #spraypaint #artistsoninstagram #muralart #art #artwork #galileo (at Galileo Coffee Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlloA7J0Z7DPVkNMZFaiXIn_xBh9KK_eoX8_s0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Painted this Mountain mural for the Chiwis boardroom. The colour palette was taken from the area rug. We also decided to apply panels before hand so the mural can travel to their expanded location in future. I really like how these colours work together. I just happened to be wearing a matching jacket.! . . . #stanmatwychukart #mountainmural #handpainted #atmosphericperspective #murals #mountains #muralart #boardroom #entrepreneur #hustling #originalart #instagram #instagramartists #bcartist #squamishart #squamishmurals #homebasestudios #squamish #britishcolumbia @arcteryx @chiwisfoundersarah @chiwis_snacks (at Squamish, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqU_BCJKXjM_dym2ic5cZCRaaWmx5XkqKHP1Y0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Somewhere between an Artist and Custodian..! In an official capacity today… 🤓PPE & note book. Matching up colours on an old mural project via Montana’s colour matching spray paint swatch booklet. This project from 2015 was for Squamish Wind Festival. Called the “Water Wall” celebrating the lifecycle of salmon in BC. .. now I have a list of paint. Time to order Spray Paint. .. . . @montanacans @montanacans_usa @squamishtown @squamishchief @squamishwind @squamishartscouncil #squamishart #squamishmurals #muralfix #wip #squamishwindfestival #stanmatwychukart #muralart #muralmaintenance #artcustodian #squamish #squamishartist (at Squamish, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbgkQBkL7PYVhClx0kTVuwL9snzl6pga8hv8b40/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday an old mural project in Squamish got hit with some less than profound low quality grafitti.. I have just been notified. I am working with the District of Squamish and the Arts Council to get it fixed up asap. I cant really even begin to express the struggle it was to even get this “under bridge area” legally sanctioned to mural paint, let alone get to paint it by myself and one other. I will fix it right Squamish. The DOS has lodged a complaint with the RCMP for the incident. Please direct any info in that direction. Please educate your kids that Murals and Graffitti/tag/ bombing are very different. Most writers respect the mural before throwing up some paint. Please help Squamish. . . . @squamishtown @squamishchamber @squamishartscouncil @tourismsquamish @downtownsquamish #squamish #muralart #lowqualitygrafitti #horribletags #squamishartists #squamishart #murals #educatethekids #educatethekidsinart #pleasedonttagmurals #windfestival #squamishmurals #stanmatwychukart #pleasehelp https://www.instagram.com/p/CbGs6qFJPf9DlwALm_b2h_aS1piK9Lugtu_v2M0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fired up on how Prior Ski/Snowboards made my artwork look legit as a top sheet. Thanks for the photos that I keep getting sent of the boards and skiis.. it stokes the fire to make more art.. Thank you Dana at Stilhavn for kicking me in the pants to get this graphic together.. The artwork is a landscape inspired piece for the west coast mountains that I call home. .. . @priorsnow @stilhavn @danafriesensmith_realty #snowboarding #snowboard #skiing #customgraphic #snowboardart #customtopsheet #stanmatwychukart #customart #originalart #priorsnowboards #priorskiis (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYpOSVXv7i8gmwFzKh9ZMAOjPbFmgZ7rWf1_fQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr
