Hockey and The Kids in the Hall - I lived and breathed both when I was in high school. Years later I had the chance to combine these two things while creating tons of designs and illustrations for the KITH latest effort, Death Come to Town!

From character montages to logo designs to a full-on hockey rink you can check them all out at the show’s official site - www.cbc.ca/kidsinthehall

Thanks to Trevor Shaikin for hooking me up with a great gig!

Water on the Table

February 1st, 2010

Recently, I worked with documentary filmmaker, Liz Marshall, to create the opening title sequence and end credit sequence for her feature film and television documentary, Water on the Table. Here is a a little blurb about the film from the official website:

“Water On The Table is a character-driven social issue documentary by Liz Marshall featuring Maude Barlow, who is known as an “international water-warrior” for her crusade against the privatisation of water. The film asks the question: Is water a commercial good like running shoes or Coca-Cola? Or, is water a human right like air?”

As part of a special World Water Day Week on TVO, The View From Here will premier the broadcast hour of Water On The Table Wednesday March 24, 2010 at 10 pm.

In the meantime you can watch the trailer on YouTube.
