The new fashion-forward identity of the Canadian Olympic Team designed by Ben Hulse Design. Based on the geometry of the maple leaf, the concept was inspired by Canadian artwork, iconography, the tradition of quilting, and Canadian athletes’ remarkable performance and pride. Thanks Chris K for Showing me this.

"Linotype: The Film" is a documentary about Ottmar Mergenthaler's amazing Linotype typecasting machine and the people who still own and love these machines today. I've witnessed someone typeset on a Linotype machine and it's incredible. The complexity of the machine, the sound of the mechanics, and the smell of hot lead and grease. Even though you can call these machines obsolete, learning about the way things used to be done helps you to appreciate the tools we have at hand today.

I've been attending a letterpress/bookbinding class at Martha St. Studios on tuesday evenings taught by Paul Phillips. It's been a great opportunity to learn more about the printing process and about the craft of bookbinding. The coolest thing I've done during class so far was this letterpress print of the city of Winnipeg divided into civic wards. I carved the block out of basswood and printed 56 at 5x8". I'm sure there will be more prints to come.
