We have started a new Fill in the Blanks series, which is introducing Record readers to a variety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainment community. Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, "filling in the blanks" to let us know about themselves.
Meet this week's featured artist, Richard Armstrong:
1. I am Richard Armstrong.
2. I spend my time organizing New West Artists Art Squared show.*
3. The book on my bedside table is Emily the Strange by Rob Reger and Jessica Grunev.
4. Three songs on my iPod are Got To Lose by Hollerado, Dig lazarus Dig by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Cold Cold Feeling by Sena Ehrhardt.
5. One work of art that inspires me is The Sistine Chapel because it's a complicated story picture.
6. One artist who inspires me is Tom Thomson because he went out and captured The Moment.
7. My idea of a perfect day is just the right amount of coffee, not too much sun, a good strong creative effort followed by eating, drinking and laughter.
8. My favorite edible (or potable) treat is cold beer.
9. My guilty pleasure is sleeping in.
10. My favorite vacation spot is by the ocean.
11. My favorite thing about New Westminster is that everything is so close.
12. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone, I would choose William Burroughs.
13. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose Atlantis.
14. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be the ability to travel through space/time.
15. If people want to find out more about me, they can email me at [email protected]
*(Editor's note: This questionnaire was submitted before the show, which was held in May.)
