These posters are on display  in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

They are from a series that Omega (http://www.omegawatches.com), who is the official time keeper of the Olympics, puts out called Great Moments in Time. Regardless of whether you love sports or not, there are lots of cool such things on display in Vancouver over the next few weeks while we host the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Just before the New Year, Cowie and Fox launched Lili Blossom, an online beauty retail boutique. You can find the most amazing gifts for others and a little indugence for yourself too! Lili Blossom features a unique variety of products with beautiful scents as well as unscented for sensitive skin. You’ll be able to find something perfect to suit almost anyone you’re shopping for.

One of my favorite lotions is Malie. When you open the bottle it’s like a mini tropical vacation inside, it’s fragrant, but not too strong (i’m one of those people that doesn’t like perfumed products). I was also impressed with how it softens the skin. Definately a must have product!

It’s still in the works, but the new Semperviva location on West 4th Ave at Yew Street in Kitsilano is nearing completion! For now I thought i’d share a photo of the signage, but look forward to photos of the completed exterior soon. Learn more about Semperviva today.

This past month I was featured on a little website called Vancouverisawesome.com and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Turquoise, the 2010 Color of the Year, is PANTONE 104-2-3 C in Goe and PANTONE 3258 C in PMS.

“Turquoise inspires thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a comforting escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while restoring our sense of welllbeing.” (via Pantone.com)

I’m loving it, it’s probably one of my most favourite colours, especially for home decor.

I was about to eat a banana the other day and much to my amusement it’s regular sticker had been replaced with a very cool, toothless, Mexican wrestler. I was a bit confused how it got there because it seemed way too cool for a banana company to dream up.

So I went online and dug a little deeper and sure enough it’s a campaign for Chiquita Bananas – http://www.eatachiquita.com.

I never really liked bananas as a kid, but I bet if they were this cool when I was young I would have eaten a lot more of them.

I find these very funny. Make sure you zoom out once you’re done your work and look at the finished piece. Whooa what’s that mean? Ah nevermind, just go to print…

And here’s the latest one…

For those of you who always wondered what our studio looks like, here it is.

When we moved in there was a huge long cutting table down one end and offices at the other. We cleared everything out and now have 3000/sf of open studio space in the heart of Yaletown. Our desks hang from the ceiling and they sway just enough so that we all get in touch with our inner surfer.
