I was interviewed earlier today by Stefan Christoff on Radio is Dead over at CKUT FM. We spoke at length about the role of art and cultural resistance in the face of the conservative politics of Canada.
I feel like I rambled on a bit, but hopefully there’s some interesting/inspiring stuff in there. The interview starts about 19 minutes in.

Below, you’ll find a quick overview of some recent identity and web projects completed by the studio prior to my adventure in Europe. Quality clients and collaborators led to some great projects, and there’s many more coming down the pipeline.
Cinema Politica is an amazing international organisation run by Svetla Turnin and Ezra Winton out of Montreal that screens independent political documentaries. Over the years they’ve built the largest archive in the world of these films and created an expansive alternative distribution and exhibition network. In updating the site and visual identity, we’ve facilitated access to this archive and created a platform for participants in the network to have a strong, unified voice.

I’d been meaning to post this for a while, but I’m only now getting my tech set up back in order after a little computer mishap in Berlin. But it’s really not such a big deal, because Berlin brought me so many good things, among them the chance to meet the wonderful Lotti Thiessen. Her and her partner (aka Cow Heart) produced this beautiful little experiment for us, with Charlotte reading Nettelbeck’s poem Fuck Death, from our last issue Happy Hour.
I’m currently computerless in London right now (my apologies for the lack of images and brevity of this post), but I thought it would be worthwhile to share the news of the BA & FDA Roundabout show at my Alma mater, the London College of Communication. I was at the private view last night, and it was truly overwhelming (as is London in general, I’m finding) with the sheer scale, diversity and spectacle of the event. Not to mention the incredible talent involved!
If you’re in London over the next week, be sure to check it out. I was particularly impressed by the Design for Graphic Communication cohort and the work from the Graphic and Media Design Typo/Graphics course.
