The Proof
1. This was taken at my desk a month ago. I was starting work on our Fall 2009 collection, Selector group show in Tokyo and we had just got in our new Holiday 2009 catalog.
2.聽 This was one of the聽out-takes聽from our Holiday 2009 catalog shoot in Stevston. What a great town full of interesting history and so close to Vancouver.
3. My inspiration board taken prior to getting into our Fall 2009 collection. Pretty bare but聽always聽a cool feeling to start from scratch.
4. An installation I did for a show I was asked to curate in Tokyo. The show focused on artists, photographers and bands from our first issue of Selector.
5. Vincent Skoglund, Paul Wong and Michael Carter. 3 great聽artists, photographers and designers! Friends are always inspiring to have around but when聽traveling聽in Tokyo, muchos Karaoke!
6. This photo was taken of our friend Bryan Webb of the Constantines. They played in 麻豆传媒映画not too long ago. Music would be one of the biggest influences on my work.
