Cool art at the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival

Just off the slopes after the second day of skiing at B.C.’s Whistler Blackcomb. Last night, my posse and I got all cultural and attended the opening of the State of the Art exhibit, one of the highlights of the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival. As a magazine editor, I was keen on scoping out some fresh talent in the world of illustration. I wasn’t disappointed. Here’s a sampling of the works on display (there was even an interactive art installation, where guests could get in on the act; see the inset photo, above). To view the full images of the art work below, just click on the thumbnails. (Note: two more ski days and three more sleeps before meeting up with B.C. Sportfishing Group to tackle North America’s largest freshwater fish: the white sturgeon.)
