Burnt Toast Studio
Posted in: Uncategorized
My friends at Burnt Toast Studio are looking for new members to join their studio (image above by James Jensen).
“Three of our members are moving forward and abroad to pursue careers and life-changing trips. The studio is an approximately 1,400 Sq.ft. bay with two levels, located at 215 – 36 Ave. N.E., close to most Centre Street bus routes. We have two silkscreen tables, a 33″X56” intaglio/relief press, a spray washout area, many shelves/paper storage units and lots of desks/work space. We use mostly water-based inks for non-toxic printmaking. Rent fee (based on 10 members) is $130 per month. That covers rent, utilities, insurance, phone, business license, pop in the fridge, 24/7/365 access, and an online portfolio on our website. If you or anyone you know is looking to share a printmaking oriented co-op studio space, please feel free to contact us at mail@burnttoaststudio.com”

In November of 2008, derek beaulieu approached a number of poets and conceptual writers. He asked each to fulfill a series of simple instructions: “On a single sheet of paper in letters approximately one half inch tall write the alphabet from A to Z”.
“26 Alphabets (for Sol LeWitt)” documents the results of that request, and includes work from Gareth Jenkins (pictured above), Lorenzo Menoud, Oana Avasilichioaei, Helen Hajnoczky, Robert Fitterman, Donato Mancini, Gregory Betts, Jonathan Ball, Nico Vassilakis, Mark Laliberte, Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl, Christian Bök, Harold Abramowitz, Johanna Drucker, Giles Goodland, Ross Priddle, Gitte Broeng, John Bennett, Crag Hill, Peter Ganick, Jeff Hilson, Peter Jaeger, Nick Thurston, Stephen McLaughlin, Kjetil Røed and kevin mcpherson eckhoff.
Produced in an edition of 100 copies, 48 of which are available for purchase at Lulu.

New things from House
Posted in: Uncategorized
I always like getting emails from House Industries—every aspect of their products’ design and marketing has been carefully considered. Their latest release is a font family and products inspired by Alexander Girard. Lots of great imagery to enjoy in the Girard Exhibit micro-site.

Can you believe it is January 19 already? If you’re still looking for a calendar to mark off how quickly time flies, then Sandijs from Hungry Lab (Latvia) has emailed UPPERCASE with their project. Twelve graphic designers from Latvia, the Netherlands and Japan have each created a month for this limited edition silkscreen calendar. Each spiral-bound copy is numbered, packaged in recycled paper and includes a sticker. (Available here.)
