I Can Blog Zine.

Hey all,

okay so I know Canzine was few weeks ago, BUT I've been out of town (at the happiest place on earth!)...so do you could do me a solid, and pretend like this just happened last weekend? okay? Cool!

*time travel sound effect*
WOW, whatta weekend! Bro-ad trip, Birthday, Concert and Canzine, oh my! I was lucky enough to have my Birthday and Canzine fall on the same weekend, and also lucky for me, I had two awesome bros who were willing to take a Road-trip down (bros + road trip = bro-ad trip).

Canzine
 
This year was great! I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Tessar and Peter.... People would show up and feed us delicious treats! (it sounds awkward, but it was delicious). Something new about this year was that the fine folks at Brokenpencil decided to throw us a little pre-Canzine party, where we had the chance to meet some of our fellow exhibitors, talk shop, drink and be merry! Thanks BP! I had a few new products available this year, including two new zines, buttons, prints, postcards, catalogs and a few other goodies.

Friends from far and wide came out. Look at Ryan, look how happy he looks!

Here's a shot of the table i took with my old cell (r.i.p. bb).

 

 Here are some of my zines that were available. If you're interested in getting a copy, they'll be available on my store very soon, so stay tuned.

Some of Brittany, Vicki and Phil's sweet zines!

This is Brittany. She is VERY excited about Movember.

This photo has a little treasure hidden away, can you spot it??

We decide to hit up Poutini's Queen afterwards for a very, very satisfying meal. 

Om nom nom.

 

Thanks so much to everyone that came out and picked up a print or a zine. Here are some photos that Peter took from the day. And if you want to see more photos from Canzine or my trip to Toronto feel free to visit my flickr page. See you guys next year! 

Don't go chasing waterfalls.

I had the great pleasure recently to design a set of T-shirts for the kayaking company, Tribe Riders, which features some incredible talents including Patrick Camblin, Rush Sturges and more. These designs were a lot of fun to work on; besides a few concepts that they wanted in particular, I was given total freedom with these. Here are the five designs:

Check out the Rider of the Year videos to see some of what they do over at Tribe.

Many thanks to Pat for the project! Hope you're having an awesome time in China, dude!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm in Miami, beach!

I'm heading out to the sunny sands of South Beach tomorrow, until the 15th. If you need to get in touch with me, or want a souvenir I'll be checking my email through out the week.

Here are a few shows you might want to check out this weekend:

My man Brian Donnelly will be having his solo exhibition at Show & Tell Gallery, along with the much talked about Winnie Truong. Brian is an awesome guy, and I've only heard amazing things about both Winnie's and his work for the show. If you're in Toronto, you should take sometime out of your busy night for yourself, and go see the shows. you deserve it. *wink*

And if you happen to find yourself on the West coast, you should A) try and hang out with Tessar and B) Head on over to LeBasse Projects for the opening of Nate's new solo titled, "I should know who I am by now". Have a look at the beautiful promo video done by the talented and incredibly kind Jeremy Asher Lynch.

Be well everyone. See you soon.
¡Hasta Luego!
