  • Canadian Style Flickr Photoset

    I’ve put up a Flickr photoset of 35 pictures taken earlier today of the Canadian Style event. Still missing are pictures of Marc Xavier LeBlanc’s “The Minimalism Series” and Sonia Chow’s “Red + White/Read + Write” interactive installation (I’ll add those tomorrow).

  • Canadian Style Opening Day

    Canadian Style is officially on at Cafe Pause! I just have time to post one quick pic, but I’ll be updating tonight with plenty more, including lots of info on the various installations. For readers who are a bit tired of my Canadian Style promotion, skip reading tonight and come back tomorrow.

  • Canadian Style Signage

    For Canadian Style, I’ve also created plenty of signage.

Marc’s card is actually at the same scale…

  • More Canadian Style Merchandise

    It’s no big secret that I’m a big fan of event merchandise, and you gotta figure that I’d do something for Canadian Style on top of the t-shirts. I’ve set up some stuff at CafePress, mostly a few things that I’ll probably order myself, but I figured that I’d make it public in case anybody…

  • Fit for a Tee

  • Canadian Style DM

    Here’s a look at the front and back of the DM (what they call flyers/postcards here) I designed for Canadian Style. It’s been sent to the printers, so should be ready soon. The map is courtesy of Jesper Larsson, and huge thanks go out to Shawn Doyle, a Canadian photographer, for letting me use his…
