Squiggly lamp and Morning sketching

I am trying to get back in the habit of sketching each morning
As an illustrator it's so important to keep the drawing muscle flexy and also to do personal work along side commissioned work.

This morning i stumbled across this fabulous squiggly crunchberry lamp by Straydog Designs.
Immediately inspired me to  do some sketches - and to also hopefully make time this summer to do some paper maché which my heart has been longing to do.


The Crunchberry lamp from Stray Dog Design.
Isnt it fabulous?
So squiggly.

Branding Brilliance and Civic Pride: We The North


Love this photo
Look at all those skin colours baby.
Absolutely love the We The North slogan/logo/campaign created by Ad Agency Sid Lee. It was immediately embraced by Toronto and is now seen in some form throughout the streets of Toronto on a daily basis.  
It makes my heart swell.

You can learn more about the brilliant thinking behind the campaign in this video featuring Sid Lee's Executive Creative Director Tom Koukodimos. 

And here's some other great info  showing how for many Torontonians the three words mean alot more than just basketball.
