Description
December 2024
Current requirements.
( Currently welcoming help in the home this winter,
help around the house and garden, and possible help with walking my 4 month old puppy.
Driving for groceries, supplies, and rides to ferry is part of job, so license and ability to drive is needed.
There is lots of creative projects as listed below to be involved with once the aforementioned is taken care of.
Help with marketing, art, mechanical and technical projects, model making , vintage auto restoration.
The bedroom in my house is large with large window and view of yard out to the yard and a large live wood desk.
Accommodations are available in Vancouver for day trips.
Valid drivers license, non smoking and low scented preferred please.)
Good day from Roberts Creek, BC.
I work in film. Primarily set design, props, and miniatures, as well as producing aerospace museum models.
My passion is making beautiful creations using technology, and skills learned from many years as a professional artist, and as a hobby. As well as being a team leader, and part of a creative process bigger than myself.
My website is, thecreatorsguild.ca
The most rewarding and inspirational experiences in my life have been tackling and resolving solutions to complicated projects. Times when minds come together as a team
I am currently designing and producing large scale whale models as a passion project, and as material for my portfolio, utilizing industrial scale 3D printing..
I restore my own classic cars in my spare time. I have made a living as a set designer for major feature films, a props and VFX designer/builder, model maker, chalkboard artist, working in forest silviculture, in construction, as a sign maker, as a pilot, as a sculptor, as a roboticist, as a painter, As an aircraft mechanic, as a dock hand, a private contractor to military equipment evaluation, and just a guy with a truck.
I have built a very large 3D printer for personal art projects.( Can always use help with technical aspects).
I am redefining my career goals, and am focusing on projects more inline with my personal interests.
As of Sept 2023 I have secured a large industrial shop space that is now up and running.
I like to be socially active and have friends around, as well as meet new ones. I have met a lot of interesting travelers through work away, Made some life long friends, and have decided to be involved full time. I think this program has a lot to offer and so far we've all been having a great time.
I always do my best to make the experience rewarding, educational, and a mutually beneficial experience.
Some of the adventures provided to my guests include an introduction to safe and responsible fire arms use, exploring all that the west coast of Canada has to offer socially, and naturally. Hiking, lakes, fire gatherings, Jam sessions.
My place is a ten minute walk to the beach, and a 20 minute walk to the mountains. Bus service every hour.
The atmosphere here is very chill, open, and accepting.
Guests are entitled usually entitled to determine their own schedule to a degree.
*Hours worked vs % of groceries provided is negotiable. Typically for Vegan, and alternative diets it's preferred the guest takes care of their own meals, with groceries provided.
(No smoking, or strong perfumes please.)
Drivers license is an asset.
Sincerely, Joseph
