Albums which musically inspire while raising awareness for important social causes deserve a little due credit. Dark Was The Night is one such album. This double disc was released in February of this year through Red Hot Organization. Since 1989, Red Hot Organization has been releasing music compilations, producing media events and [...]

Lately it seems as though I haven’t been keeping up with the hordes of new music being released every day. But one act that has graced myself with it’s presence in my playlist, and repeatedly caught my attention is Toronto’s Timber Timbre. Spookier than most, Timber Timbre boasts hauntingly sparse melodies and percussion alongside vocal [...]

Through a chance link I landed on Aaron McConomy’s Behance profile today, and was drawn in by the detailed illustration set to subtle colour schemes. Turns out, Aaron is an Alberta born chap, which I’d say fits in with our ‘theme’ perfectly.

Help yourself to this great design. I am diggin’ this product, it’s clean, simple and the product speaks for itself. Therefore, I will let the photos below do the talking.

Inauguration Day 1961
“The president’s father beamed with pride and the King of Pop listened intently that cold, windy day when JFK suggested they ask not what their country could do for them, but what they could do for their country.”

I’m loving the Behance Network. There’s a ton of glorious inspiration and wonderful things to experience on there. I had the luck of snagging an account, and found some time early this morning to put a sampling of my personal work up there.
Shameless plugs aside, ‘Where There is Smoke, There is Fire’ hosts a series [...]

It’s pretty easy to get trapped into playing down Calgary when it comes to the local music scene. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we’re actually quite fortunate and really do have an amazing pool of talented musicians right in our backyard. Not literally… well unless of course Chad VanGaalen happens to [...]

I say with great certainty that one day I will own an original Josh Keyes painting.  His work is perfectly haunting and meticulous, to the point where you think it’s a digitally compiled piece. The shadows and dissections are seemingly both random and abstract, though somehow make sense alongside the visual juxtapositions of Wildlife v.s. [...]
