Some call him a Renaissance man—Doid has been creating art since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. Originally from Shawnigan Lake and now based in the Alberni Valley, Randy has spent over 46 years exploring all forms of artistic expression. A high school passion for art classes sparked a lifelong, mostly self-taught journey through painting, block printing, pin-striping, sculpture, wood carving, metal fabrication, costume and cardboard art, performance, installation, horror filmmaking (directing, acting, special effects), poetry, photography, and custom motorcycle and car building. Since 2006, acrylic on canvas has been a mainstay, but Randy’s experimental nature keeps him exploring new territory, including digital art and film. His work draws on recurring themes like the human form, classic cars, rugged landscapes, and surreal characters—always bold, raw, and often tinged with lowbrow humour. After 23 years in Whistler, Randy honed his craft alongside artists like Dave Petko, Chili Thom, Taka Sudo, Andrea Mueller, and others, showing in over 35 group exhibitions since 2008. He co-founded Blind Mute Productions and contributed to shows with The Weirdos, The Jettisons, and the Whistler Arts Council. Now creating from his home studio, Randy continues to be inspired by people, animals, and machines. You’ll often find him out and about, camera in hand, absorbing the world around him.
