 "Luminaries"
Yo-yo's
"Myrrh For the Modern
Man"
By Guy Babineau
Georgia Straight, Dec 2004
John Ferrie Yo-yo's. During the recent East Side Culture Crawl,
I visited the home and studio of artist John Ferrie, who was
presenting his new "Luminaries" exhibition of
paintings based on the annual Illuminaries lantern parade.
His playful collection of bright hand-painted Yo-yo's ($20.00)
mirrors the shows theme. I couldn't resist. For the rest of the
evening, I tried to recapture a time long ago when I could walk
the dog, rock the cradle and go over the waterfall like a pro.
It made a great conversation piece. People approached me all
night long. This is a trend waiting to happen. An ipod, a pair
of oakleys's, your John Ferrie Yo-yo, and you're all set. To
purchase, contact John Ferrie at 604-215-0012.
