Rad Boob Club Ski Calendar AVAILABLE NOW!

GET YOURS TODAY!!!

In Golden, British Columbia, there is a group of girls called the Rad Boob Club. Reacting to the exclusivity of the unofficial Rad Dude Club, these ladies can be found out skiing the best lines in B.C. Recently, this group of skier chicks created the Rad Boob Ski Calendar to raise funds for the Rethink Breast Cancer Foundation. Available for $20 here at MCCC or online, the 12-month photo gallery features athletes such as Ingrid Backstrom, Grete Eliassen, and Lynsey Dyer. And sorry fellas, but there’s no nudity—just ski action and lifestyle shots.

Whistler based freelance writer, skier, and calendar designer, Holly Walker felt privileged to be a part of the project. “I had a stroke last winter, which provided me with a lot of free time on my hands,” Walker says. “I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time, than to get back into graphic design and help the girls out.”

This winter the girls of the calendar will be touring to different ski resorts to sell their product and pass out information on breast cancer awareness. Check out the website [radboob.com] and find more information on Rethink Breast Cancer awareness foundation [rethinkbreastcancer.com].

Featured Artist: Betsy Barnum

MCCC is pleased to announce that Betsy Barnum has her work up through the Fall.

Betsy is a Seattle based artist, who creates artwork that is not only captivating but also deeply layered and full of life. Her current series contains scenes of flight, growth and portraiture that is subtly infused with pattern and soft tones.


Artist Statement:
I use my works on paper to describe my life, expressing my thoughts and emotions about a specific moment or circumstance through my relationships with those I am close to. I build up thin layers of paint, ink and pencil to conceal and reveal images the way emotions and behavior are unconsciously layered to hide or signal something to others. The gesture and composition of the figures in my work are very important, as they are the first indicators of the work's meaning.



I use recurring objects from piece to piece as symbols or metaphors for people and ideas. For example, I often use a typewriter to represent myself, or birds as metaphors for fear and emotion. I use paper as my surface because of its flexibility, smoothness, and capacity for erasure. Like a palimpsest, it shows the progression and history of layers of marks. Like skin it wrinkles and fights back when worked on, asserting its personality into the painting or drawing. Like journal pages, my work is an ongoing narrative, each piece chronologically linked to the others. Each gesture, color, layer, and object is significant, and each work interacts with the others to establish meaning through a repetition of these elements.







Betsy Barnum has an M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute and is an artist, designer and maker of things. You can't help but love her. Come by and see her work for yourself!
