The latest Live Different event we shot found its way into the local black and white. Give it a read here: http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1592607&auth=KARENA

Spent this past weekend working Overflow: Next (www.overflowyouth.com) and it definitely went off. No doubt a rush as the event neared but the team killed it all weekend long… well minus that moment we thought we lost 6 macs. This year’s screen setup featured a widescreen made up of 3 individuals allowing us to switch between 3 seperate visuals or one complete wide – below that we had a team of artists making some beauty happen on a massive wall as the event rolled on – it looked great so have a look in the portfolio at: http://www.thebrosociates.com/clients/overflow/.

All in all, 2000+ turned out, over $33 000 was raised for Life Campaign (www.lifecampaign.org), we got our fruit-to-go’s in the zit pit, and as always a total honour to do this thing with friends.

Two of my favourite captures from the 50th b-day celebration we found ourselves at last evening. Nerdia welcomes us and Jonny looks mighty fine for his lady.

Flew back into Van and up to Whistler. This last trek home wasn’t as crazy as the last when I found myself through Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. Here’s a couple from February and I will get some of my favourites from Ottawa up next week.

Just a couple snaps from our time spent hanging out with Pete of Love The Empire. All in all, it was a good day as we nailed down some ideas on the creative front and landed some good material we’ll be able to tie into everything we’re working on. It is always good to hear about everything this guy has on the go and – full on inspiring and he knows how to bring the good times. So if you want really want, stalk him via the latest interfad: http://twitter.com/pete_klassen

Heading downtown tomorrow to shoot and make some magic happen with friend and fellow ruler of Love The Empire, Sir Peter of Klassen. Should be a good one shooting and prepping for the upcoming album and all the fun and creativity that comes out of that. Hopefully we can drop an update on how our day goes tomorrow. And in the meantime, check out the first single “This Life” at www.myspace.com/lovetheempire. (which consequently, is about to get a massive overhaul).

A work in progress. Friends over at the Life Campaign have been killin’ it with over $100 THOUSAND(and counting) raised to deal with the water crisis… we’ve been working with them on the latest pieces of the ad campaign so check it out. And below a photo of the tour and the official video in case you don’t know what it’s all about. Follow what Darcy and the team are up to at: www.lifecampaign.org

Had the immense pleasure over the last couple months of working with housebeautiful. Yep, that’s lowercase with the period. Essential. It’s been fun taking this thing from the initial concept to what we’ve got in our hands today. So now we have what should make its way onto the record.

This piece is about the idea that at the heart of chaos there’s this place of rest. I decided to explore a bit of what creates that longing… there are a number of elements at play here such as the water or smoke, often things that bring a peaceful feeling, wreaking havoc – things have come undone. There’s a bit of shipwreck happening.. but the clouds and the light suggest a lighter feel to all the heaviness around – hope is looming. You can follow them and await the release here: www.myspace.com/housebeautifulband

Don’t forget band at the end there or be prepared to deal with some serious polka dot action.
