Dolores Hart is no longer thinking about ‘Where The Boys Are’
Last night I finally had the chance to watch the film Where the Boys Are which I had rented on Itunes about two weeks ago. While discussing the film in the studio the next day, Tammy and I went on an IMDB promenade to learn more about the actresses who played in it. The film, [...]

Last Friday, the SQUAB team had the opportunity to attend the launch party of the Mason Magazine and showed their support for this brand new publication. “The MASON is a contemporary culture magazine that features the resurrection of post-industrial cities through the efforts of their creative communities.” Their premiere issue focuses on the city of Detroit, [...]
And – we’re back.
Hey, remember us? We used to blog and post pictures and spew tidbits of design-y fun things? Well, after an inexcusable hiatus (though you will soon get a list of excuses), we are pleased to be back and (hopefully) blogging in full force once more. This year we moved studio locations from our shared space [...]
Pretty Pumpkins
Some of my favourite’s from last night’s 4th Annual Harbord St. Pumpkin Festival.
Autumn Leaves.
A recent road trip took me up through the swaths of Muskoka where I was lucky enough to catch our great Canadian autumn in full swing. Aside from from the highlights of seeing a train with hand-painted “Warning” instructions, countless inukshuks, and a meandering black bear, driving along the #17 was the perfect setting for [...]

A couple of dear friends and I drove up to spend the weekend at an old 19th-century schoolhouse in the [...]

Come and get your Lovely Shit.

Winnipeg Folk Fest

Some of my favorites from the weekend were Christa Couture, Beats Antique (live set feat. Sidecar Tommy & David Satori), and [...]
Signs Along the Coast
This summer, I had the opportunity to drive out to Canada’s East Coast (with a mini-dip down to Bangor, ME and the marvelous Nonesuch Farm). Aside from the beautiful views of the Atlantic ocean, pilot whale sightings, and, you guessed it, more lobster than we could handle, I couldn’t help but take special note of the [...]
