I hope that each and every one of you are feeling the beauty of the world around you! I know I am!!! I wake each morning feeling a little groggy but as soon as I look out into the world we live, I cannot help but be moved by what I see!!! The birds fly through the air, the fluffy clouds gently rolling by, the sounds of a fire truck whizzing by to help someone out. Such beauty is all around us, we but need to shake our heads and see it for what it is, rather then taking it for granted. </div>

I walk to work some mornings and happened to bump into a friend of mine from the city, here we were just chatting away about our wonderful city and I posed the question, "why is there so much garbage around? I mean do people not understand that someone has to pick up your litter? Do they have no respect?" He answered with, "its our society, we do not care to see, we do not have much morels or care for anything." He went on to tell me that something as simple as J-walking is frowned upon in other societies and in our society it is socially acceptable. He raised a very good point!!! Do you J-walk? I know I J-walked at any chance I could get, even sometimes crossing directly across the intersection if I could. Now that he has opened my eyes I am trying my best not to J-Walk. As for the garbage I pick up as much as I can as I go along. Can you do me a favour and do the same? I hope we can be the change together :D</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Good day to you all, I hope this message finds you positive and full of energy!!! On April 26th, 2012 the Lennard Taylor team put on a fashion show at our Studio/Boutique which was open to the public. We thought the show would be well attended but were all blown away at the magnitude of the support we got that night. If you were able to attend, thank you very much! If not then you'll have to make sure you come see the next show September 27th, 2012. I promise not to disappoint, details will be leaked soon :D<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Before the show came to be I was extremely lucky to meet the Gentleman from <a href="http://www.atfirstsightfilms.com/">At First Site Cinematography</a>. They explained to me that film making is their passion and while they are happy doing commercial work, every once in a while they enjoy filming something they feel will be exciting to them. Lucky me they choose to do something on Lennard Taylor, and since I had a show coming up they thought what better time to start :D We met a few more times and the Gents filmed me as I went about my daily work and of course asked me a bunch of questions. The questions part was pretty funny because they would ask something and I would gab gab gab, I don't know if it was the nervousness of being on camera, or whether I was just that excited to tell the story of Lennard Taylor. Either way once I clued into how much I was chatting I would apologize for being such a chatter box and they would say hey no worries, that's what we need!!! Either way we had a laugh about it.<br />

It got so bad that I had to stop creating. In packing up I turned my chair around and noticed the big bottle of paint thinner had been left open from a previous painting night. Clearly I felt like an idiot, thankfully I didn't spill it!!!<br />
<br />
Not to self and anyone reading this. Make sure you clean up properly!<br />
<br />
Its taken me a really long time to write this as i feel high from the paint thinner....thankfully my head is starting to feel a little better now :)<br />
<br />
Just a heads up the "its raining" series of art shirts will be for sale at my spring show (April 26) so mark your calendars and tell your friends :)<br />

Sorry about that friends, I really wanted to post on several occasions however due to the virus that has destoryed my computer I was unable to do so. That is a little bit of a cop out, because yes of course I could go out of my way and find a place to use the computer to do the post. Yes I could have done that but then I would have slowed down on the production on my newest line :) <div><br /></div><div>Thats right, last week I was lucky enough to work with Samanta (photographer) to shoot my Fall/Winter 2012 Lennard Taylor Collection! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!! I am very pleased with the creations, and the photos are spectacular! As soon as its all put together I will let you all know by posting on here :)</div><div><br /></div><div>I wanted to touch base about a friend of mine named Brendon. Him and I were introduced to each other this past summer and have kind of hit it off. Brendon makes unbelievable bags, backpacks, toe straps for bicycles and a few other wicked items. (He also lets me sew some leathers at his studio which is in the exchange church around the corner) Now I try and live a pretty neutral life, I try not to cause harm and try and help those around me when they need. Brendon goes above and beyond almost everyday! Just this past week I was sewing at the Exchange community Church and this crack cocaine addict was having bad withdrawals asked for help. Brendon instantly dropped everything and spent and hour or so on the phone and then ended up taking the guy to a couple places to get him all sorted for the rehab course. Now this isn't the first time he has helped out the homeless in the community, he regularly feeds the lot of them in the church out of his own pocket. He is an inspiration and truly a wonderful human being, just thought you all should know!</div><div><br /></div><div>In other news I had a fashion show this past weekend for the Never Alone Foundation. The event must have had over 150 volunteers of models, dancers, choreographers, hair, makeup etc etc etc. Wow it was quite a production! I was very pleased to be part of it!!! I will post a video of it as soon as I can :)</div><div><br /></div><div>I have a couple other opportunities which are starting to blossom, so please keep sending those positive vibes my way and I'll reciprocate by sending more positive vibes out! Much love friends</div><div><br /></div><div>ps.

I trust they were wonderful!!!! Please email with warm stories to info@lennardtaylor.com<br /><br />I started working again after a week off during the holidays, wow what a shocker to get back into it. Monday and Tuesday were returning emails and sketching the final drafts for my 2012 F/W collection. Wednesday was organization and completing application forms for Folkfest and Fringe and then proper football (soccer) of which I busted and crushed my holiday worn body. <br /><br />owwweeeeeee was thursday morning, my neck and back messed up. I tossed my phone to what I thought was my jacket/sweater and missed and broke it, came to my computer to get phone numbers/emails for people I needed to contact and a virus had destroyed my computer! (I curse hackers/virus makers) <br /><br />Shoulders/neck still aching I pushed through the rest of the week. The positive that I took away from all the downers of the past week was the fact that I stayed mindful that everything has an opposite reaction. That being said I was saying to myself that while all this bad is happening it must mean that somewhere along the line, something wonderful will happen, this makes me smile! :D<br /><br />A new week has begun and wowwwzzaaa what a different from last week, I woke this morning bursting with love and energy!!! I am finishing my collection for Fall Winter 2012, Im very excited about this one friends!!!! oooh meee oh my life is wonderful!!! Enjoy the warmth of another day on this wonderful planet!!!!<br /><br />In other news I have started tweeting :) please follow me @lennardTaylor<br /><br />Be well and keep smiling,<br />LTLennard Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09684260920572655469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972510760084296352.post-24621528390028922312011-12-29T09:05:00.000-08:002011-12-29T09:15:11.911-08:00Back to workGood morning, afternoon or evening depending on when you read this.<br /><br />The wonderful tunes of Beirut's album the Rip tide are playing as I slowly organize the studio of Lennard Taylor. December is always a busy month, with craft sales, orders, demands and then the chaos of making presents for family and friends. Im sure you all know what I am talking about! The smooth rhythms that Beirut play make me coast into the work cycle again, not easy but its happening. There is a warmth in my heart about this next year, I feel it will be a very big one, well at least here is to hoping :D<br /><br />Leather, I am obsessed, I want to continue making leather pieces over and over! Raw edged leathers smooth as butter made into jackets with minimal snaps makes the wearer feel like royalty. I have a couple, oh me oh my I loves them!!! A friend of mine just got back from Turkey and brought me a few lamb skins which feel so good I am scared to work with them!!!! I'll post some pictures soon. <br /><br />One last thing, Love one another, be with love and love will surround those around you.<br /><br />Be well friends :)Lennard Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09684260920572655469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972510760084296352.post-36101258764847208862011-12-12T17:44:00.000-08:002011-12-12T17:57:05.154-08:00Dec 12, 2011Thank you to those who came to the WFI first fashion market this past weekend at Red River College!!! It was a huge success and I look forward to the next market which is scheduled for April 7th 2012 at the Red River College, Roblin Center (princess st campus) DONT MISS OUT, mark it in your calender today! <a href="http://wpgfashionincubator.com/">WFI Website</a><br /><br />I sit on a board for the First Fridays committee which is a group of wonderful men and women who promote and plan First Fridays in the exchange district. Basically the First Friday of each month, artists in the exchange district open up their studios to the public in hopes that they will buy their creations. Its a great way to be up close to what artists studios are like and to be able to ask any questions in an intimate setting. Please come out and support what we do :) <a href="http://www.firstfridayswinnipeg.org/whats-on.html">First Fridays Website<br /></a><br />A friend of mine named Jeff Barkman recently asked me to listen to his album which just dropped on Itunes!!!

I was very busy last week creating an art/clothing showcase at my studio (89 Princess St) The opening was this past Friday and continues until Dec 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nd</span>. On top of that I was participating in Winnipeg's first "we day" If you don't know what a "me to we day" is please check out this link<br /><br /><a href="http://www.weday.com/event/winnipeg">We Day</a><br /><br />I was selected to gift some of the performers my art. I'll get photos of that soon enough but Al Gore, Mia Farrow, Rick Hansen and a few others now have my art in their collections :) I was truly honoured to be able to do this :)<br /><br />Well I better get back to cutting/sewing my special Cowl neck sweaters because I have a craft sale this Sunday December 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> at the park theater!

Sorry for the super long wait for another post, life has been crazy for me, and I really need to buy a laptop so I can keep up with computer work while I'm away from the studio. So a big apology from me. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">I'm</span> sorry!!!
<br />
<br />
<br />An OWL!!! I was walking along at the fringe and saw this lady holding a beautiful owl, I asked if I could take a picture to share with all of you. Isn't she a beauty!!!! I was stunned with how wonderful the eyes of this little creature are!!! I've never seen one close up, until now...keep doing your part to save the wilderness!!!!

<br />My group of friends and I do a huge camping trip every year. This year was camping 11 "beers in heaven" We went down to Apple river, which is just outside of Somerset, Wisconsin. We had 55 people go down and rented a greyhound bus. It was epic, so epic that i forgot to take pictures and only snapped this one...weird I know!

<br />I was blessed enough to go to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Saltspring</span> Island in BC on a Saturday. They have a market of all works from the island which are fantastic!!! In the market were my girlfriends cousins who screen print their own designs on t shirts, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Freebird</span> is the name of their company.

<br />We had planned on going to the EMP<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"></span> (experience music project) museum which was mind blowing!!! The museum is designed by frank <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Gehry</span> and looks straight out of space!!! Spent several hours looking at the Hendrix and Nirvana memorabilia/stories before playing with all the instruments they have to play!!! They also have a neat exhibit showing/explaining the movie "Avatar" Really cool place

<br />Went back to Victoria for a few days for my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">GF's</span> family reunion. It was a blast, she has a great family who really accepted who I am, BIG thanks to all of them! This picture was taken on fisherman's wharf, its of a kids pirate ship which allows kids to really experience being a pirate, they get all decked out and go looking for buried treasure and shoot water cannons.

The rain was pouring down with all its might so we dressed up in some gear and ventured out. When we were finishing putting away the last paddle boat, the sky really opened up and dumped down! We stood under the boathouse and watched the beauty that was in front of us morph (remember the islands) their green trees were enhanced by the white backdrop of the intense rain which made it feel mythical and surreal because you could not see anything past them. The rain blanketed the lake and transformed it into a playground of dancing raindrops. Its very hard to explain the beauty that we saw in that moment but we both felt very lucky to experience it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn1utJKgdtgm63e_7tX6Y85CbmV3yFRkixOy_96mfIiI0prTZfoEBrDe6kaoQlOSUxjSy92D89XsJD3X7cpS_wEZpdgx1tF_NSaCsOX_t4_4r4s6MT9L2SiVsWjXKgPEkdqzbDbrh2WziN/s1600/Picture+794.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn1utJKgdtgm63e_7tX6Y85CbmV3yFRkixOy_96mfIiI0prTZfoEBrDe6kaoQlOSUxjSy92D89XsJD3X7cpS_wEZpdgx1tF_NSaCsOX_t4_4r4s6MT9L2SiVsWjXKgPEkdqzbDbrh2WziN/s200/Picture+794.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622918104537682242" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />It was nice to get away after working 12 hour days in the past week.

After the Game in Vancouver the streets were turned back several hundred years as a civilized city was turned into the cave man era of simple smash and destroy. It saddened my heart deeply as i watched the images streaming the Internet. Not only was Vancouver's image portrayed around the world as violent, criminal and idiotic, the rest of Canada was thrown into the mix as well. Our country has always been seen as one of peace and love and now is looked at completely different. I've always believed that our Nation has a real chance to step up to the plate and show the rest of the world how one can live in peace, prosperity and be green. Now I'm sure we can still do this but we all have lost some ground so please do me a favour and do something extra nice for someone today :D<br /><br /><br /><br />Jazz Festival started this past Friday, I hope you made it out to a show or two :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQWtLRuj7TaDoSNi2jiJfK9QcDw45KVLyWJ-3HobJJqcw2qQ6TzhmQCUjrQRpBvsEbvVBbJpWQpFymvSokxOgG9G5ZZvHIt7a-WNLfQh9076idZImikE1vf6l8c0-XSFiKu719LRY7vEp/s1600/Picture+754.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQWtLRuj7TaDoSNi2jiJfK9QcDw45KVLyWJ-3HobJJqcw2qQ6TzhmQCUjrQRpBvsEbvVBbJpWQpFymvSokxOgG9G5ZZvHIt7a-WNLfQh9076idZImikE1vf6l8c0-XSFiKu719LRY7vEp/s200/Picture+754.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620312412478059762" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I traveled out to Brandon, along the way I saw a biggggg train and snapped a quick shot of it.

I got a few moments to really take in all the gems that he has on the walls. It moved my spirit looking at all the war blades and helmets that had clear signs of battle on them. Its hard for many of us to understand what these brave men went through to give us our freedom. Perhaps its because we are so naturalized from all the video games and movies we see that we don't think it would be so bad. One item caught my eye in particular, a boyonet, I don't know what it was but it put me in the war, in the trenches. Try and put yourself on the front line, dirty, smelly, your hands shaking with fear as you hear bombs drop and bullets zing overheard, your commanding officer gives the order to put your bayonet on your rifle because the enemy is going to get close, REAL CLOSE. Your not going to have a chance to reload your weapon, your about to kill another man with your bare hands using only a rifle as a blunt object. My eyes are dripping with tears as I write this, wow what they must have gone through....I dare you to try closing your eyes and really thinking how you would react, try for only a moment to feel what they must have felt for a long time. If you know of, or know personally a veteran give them the honour they deserve, call and thank them for the service they did the world, thank them for your life of peace.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">A beautiful display of the sky at its finest...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4b6g_t_3HkVT8jmc77WFiGqLj5YmN7-cpbHGC4tzxOfWuSELOp5guDVQ9Ln1dhWPion3S0NQzvcS5ioxeRJtOnJTYFc0IY9tQAcJLeiHmbhq941hkTRlonkZRrvAVGUd_tQXUibiqQFj/s1600/Picture+756.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk4b6g_t_3HkVT8jmc77WFiGqLj5YmN7-cpbHGC4tzxOfWuSELOp5guDVQ9Ln1dhWPion3S0NQzvcS5ioxeRJtOnJTYFc0IY9tQAcJLeiHmbhq941hkTRlonkZRrvAVGUd_tQXUibiqQFj/s200/Picture+756.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620312407689506370" border="0" /></a><br />This weeks post was a hard one to write, lots of emotion poured out of my being.

Does anyone else hate that we cant vote directly for the prime minister? I've been talking with many individuals who want to vote for Jack Layton however they do not like the NDP representative in their riding. I've also heard many conservatives say that they are voting conservative however given the chance to vote for the leader of our country they say Layton is the best fit...hmmmm I believe change needs to be made to our system...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvtc-iV08wIVeUTBcVJKtxsUdaf46snolx8plqwzXtBYUMUrQp2YHE2JEKU4a74iTYiF6sRoaWm0MtOF3ybRw20GBeQOsRF7WKn6uSISrFZhGI3Zhv2IfDczSUuhBaQyvzghbNgA2CLjy/s1600/Picture+849.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvtc-iV08wIVeUTBcVJKtxsUdaf46snolx8plqwzXtBYUMUrQp2YHE2JEKU4a74iTYiF6sRoaWm0MtOF3ybRw20GBeQOsRF7WKn6uSISrFZhGI3Zhv2IfDczSUuhBaQyvzghbNgA2CLjy/s200/Picture+849.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602130914918335410" border="0" /></a>This past week was busy and hectic for me because I was gearing up for my spring/summer shoot for 2012.

Of course this will be at my studio 89 Princess St :)<br /><br />until next week,<br />be well and stay true :)Lennard Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09684260920572655469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972510760084296352.post-42371454939132694712011-04-11T09:15:00.000-07:002011-04-11T10:45:30.275-07:00its a long postSorry for the long delay in posts everyone, It wont happen again because I've figured out a schedule :) Every Monday I will do my best to post a little something from the week I've had for your viewing pleasure.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBqYkE9HSJS62OfD7hilKM1RWkE0G5eqgCSNhZOYZyhwJEyz9bK7bdFdU2-PCqig2-aH2GS2nvmIuPMG_V0t25pZDOqGx5yeIgVUcvERol5M6DTFcHV_pinJETaOwEBS9e7hr2YDqilJql/s1600/Picture+781.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBqYkE9HSJS62OfD7hilKM1RWkE0G5eqgCSNhZOYZyhwJEyz9bK7bdFdU2-PCqig2-aH2GS2nvmIuPMG_V0t25pZDOqGx5yeIgVUcvERol5M6DTFcHV_pinJETaOwEBS9e7hr2YDqilJql/s200/Picture+781.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594368717301042658" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This Polaroid was snapped by Mike Talastas a very talented videographer/photographer doing some big things with his main man Josh Tamayo (photographer/videographer. <br /><br />Check them out at http://www.li7photo.com/<br />or scope the duos latest videos at http://vimeo.com/user2810413/videos <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNFBBFcKwh_WhIoDEf9FRPKYcJud4NQI1P9NKpKhamlR5XpBHDuAatnSuKFIlbRqXtjmdLsKPfoeIlmx_pmovGiDwuXUyXMFG-LHkREHh2JuYpU6LBlPioXgSCs-myM6MDNIdoXtfugcbm/s1600/Picture+804.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNFBBFcKwh_WhIoDEf9FRPKYcJud4NQI1P9NKpKhamlR5XpBHDuAatnSuKFIlbRqXtjmdLsKPfoeIlmx_pmovGiDwuXUyXMFG-LHkREHh2JuYpU6LBlPioXgSCs-myM6MDNIdoXtfugcbm/s200/Picture+804.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594364487313454898" border="0" /></a>I came across this chair a week or so ago, thought it was just the happiest little chair around! smile on chair, smile on<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc4ZHEJ4tQAIW5ASBhXNu1MW3GrYoVdt0LywUZlCEfmr3U8zrrT0kRutNQ31TnU7_IiIkxjErKlk3VuJkrE5ORgcYvdfp5O-eRm_CNlE-0WiBgV_ipsRl6rkGkU3jB4nE36UzHh41P2Abg/s1600/Picture+803.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc4ZHEJ4tQAIW5ASBhXNu1MW3GrYoVdt0LywUZlCEfmr3U8zrrT0kRutNQ31TnU7_IiIkxjErKlk3VuJkrE5ORgcYvdfp5O-eRm_CNlE-0WiBgV_ipsRl6rkGkU3jB4nE36UzHh41P2Abg/s200/Picture+803.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594368714296662978" border="0" /></a>I was at the legion the other night, guys bathrooms are disgusting!!!
