Some sketches
This week I began working on a poster with the wonderful design firm Sali Tabbachi. They are the designers behind Azure magazine, Design Lines, IDS + all of the branding for Mjolk. (!)
I can't tell you the name of the project yet but can tell you that it involves music and booze!
I have been drawing up a storm this week. Here are a few rejected sketches.

PWYC YOGA on the Roof at the Drake!
Does this sound fun or what?
During the summer every Monday at 10am The Drake offers a PWYC Yoga Class on the Roof.
Even more exciting.... the class is taught by my wonderful friends David + Scotty! (and their lovely friend Andrew)
After class you can enjoy a fabulous coffee on the patio.
Guaranteed to be a great start to your week. See you there next Monday. :-)
Atom Egoyen at The Drake
Atom's Egoyen's talk at the Drake tonight was great.
He chose to focus on some of his lesser known side projects which he explained inevitably inform his commercial work. (A favourite theme of mine)
We saw some footage from his film Krapp's Last Tape (based on Samuel Beckett play) and also slides from 2 of his multimedia installation pieces: 'Steenbeckett' at the Museum of Mankind in London and 'Out of Order' from Musée d’art contemporain in Montréal.
Themes discussed:
The virtues of analog vs digital technology
The fact that documenting every moment of our lives is now a give in.
For young filmmakers he lamented the fact that there is no longer a process of apprenticeship but celebrated the fact that through the internet it has never been easier to get your work out there and to learn from other great filmmakers. (He singled out David Fincher's DVD commentaries as exceptionally instructive!)
Inspirational.
