About Us

Julian first sauntered onto the stage in a production of "The Marriage Proposal" in 1968 (Chekhov).

First-time out, Ayrs won an "Award of Merit" from the Simpson's Drama Festival, for his portrayal of nervous suitor, "Lomov".

Essentially, though, he started his career as a painter.

Ayrs was part of a group show of West Coast artists at the Galerie Allen (Gastown) in 1970.

On the heels of this exhibition, he was commissioned by the City of Vancouver to create kiosks for the downtown core (1972).

One-man Exhibitions followed at the Contemporary Royale Gallery (Vancouver) and Open Space Gallery (Victoria).

In 1973, Ayrs made an entrance onto the International Art scene when he was invited to exhibit his abstract-expressionistic paintings at the San Francisco Arts Festival.

During a brief visit to New York in 1974, Ayrs appeared off-off Broadway in a "Hot Peaches" spoof on the Andy Warhol stars.

The production was titled, "The Magic Hype".

After his short stint on stage in that successful musical comedy, Warhol Star - Jackie Curtis - invited Ayrs to appear in a special New Year's Show at the Fortune Theatre in the East Village.

Ayrs was first published by Coach House Press (Toronto).

In addition, a short story - Cottage Cheese - was broadcast by CBC Radio (Robert Chesterman).

His face has graced the pages of National ads for American Express, the Bay, Eatons, Big Steel, and Sears (to name a few).

Ayrs' fashion column - Dressing Right - appeared in the morning newspaper, the Province (Southam News), for approximately two years after he gave up the fashion runway.

An acting bug catapulted the struggling actor into the exciting Film & TV industry full throttle when he moved to California.

Ayrs has appeared in bit parts on the popular daytime soap General Hospital (Reporter), Victims for Victims (Doctor), Murphy Brown (Doorman), and Fox Studio's big-budget comedy, "How I Got into College".

Drawing on his background in writing, Ayrs pursued a career as a Literary Agent for the next two years at Wallack & Associates and the Camille Sorice Agency, respectively.

An opportunity to pen a blog for a Fox Network Show - "On the Lot" - not only opened up a new avenue of creativity, but the opportunity for Ayrs to flex his creative skills in several areas of the arts - writing, film & video, web design, etc.
