GASP! FLOR carpet tiles


Great colour combos


Juicy Chartreuse (My fave colour)

Yum.

With my sale completed I'm moving back into nesty mode and working on my loft.
I visited Barton Carpet in Parkdale and tentatively chose a sandy sisal for my livingroom but then later on in the day my stylish friend Natalie introduced me to this incredible company FLOR. Their carpet tiles are both gorgeous + very environmentally friendly. I gasped when I saw the website.
Stripes, checks, juicy colours - How does one possibly decide?


Here is the Sandy Sisal I picked out earlier at Barton carpets.
Still might work nicely altho not as exciting or flexible as the carpet tiles.

ps. If you have any carpet recommendations you'd like to share - Don't hold back!

Inspiration: Saul Steinberg DVD


DVD sent from Steinberg's niece and director of the film Daniela Roman.

Love this image with combo of line and small slice of photography.
Saul was a Master of collage.

Enclosed Card


French cartoonist expressing his feelings at the sight of Steinberg's work.

Saul's iconic piece for the New Yorker

Exciting for me to see footage of him actually drawing.
Has inspired me to experiment with using pen + ink rather than just marker.

I ordered this DVD on Saul Steinberg from his niece Daniela Roman who co-directed and produced the film along with Thierry Fontaine. She sent it to me from Paris and included a lovely Saul postcard with it. It's a great doc which I know I'll replay again + again for inspiration. Favourite line from film:
From the French Cartoonist Cabu "When I saw Steinberg's work I thought I should put down my pen and find another job". I know that feeling.

TIFF is here! (And the poster campaign is illustrated!)


TIFF banner on College St. illustrated by Gary Clement

The design is meant to celebrate the idea that films spark great conversations

A really cute one with a guy + martian

YAY TIFF has arrived back in Toronto. These great street banners went up last week and with it the attendant buzziness that the Festival always brings. (It is my favourite time of year) Was so pleased to see that after years of using photography Tiff decided to go with illustration for their posters! Taxi advertising designed the campaign and chose non other than the funny + smart Gary Clement for the illustrations. Fantastic work by both - I'll be sorry to see the banners come down!
