Happy Canada Day!

Yeah, I'm early. I don't plan on being around the 'net tomorrow, so I figured I'd hit y'all off with a good wish for the moment. I figure I'm gonna spend the day reading this. Sarah gave it to me as a grad present. She rules.
By the way, I highly recommend checking out the Drawn and Quarterly web page. It's beautiful.

Cowboy Bebop

I'm almost finished watching all 26 episodes of Cowboy Bebop. What a series! I've been thouroughly entertained by each episode. And the music for the show is absolutely great. There's elements of jazz, reggae, blues and other genres mixed into it. Along with the action-filled stories, it makes for a very engaging viewing experience. Believe the hype, fucker!
Thanks to Jean Snow, I now know of a new series created by Shinichiro Watanabe, Cowboy Bebop's character designer: Samurai Champloo! I can't wait for this to hit our shores. Of course, I could jump on the BitTorrent bandwagon, but y'all know where I stand on that shit. Patience is a virtue.

Mini-poster thang.

Seripop @ CBCradio3.ca

This week, the folks at the Mother Corp. have decided to shine a light on Serigraphie Populaire, better known as Seripop. They do some really hot shit. See for yourself at cbcradio3.ca (check the table of contents).

On a somewhat related note, I just got into Advanced Diploma Graphic Design Program at Red River (aka Third Year). Yay! More sleepless nights!

Gun Crazy!

If all goes well, this should be showing up around Houston, Texas.

The Pistons

Props to the Detroit Pistons for defeating the LA Lakers for the NBA Championship. I wish I was still a basketball fan, then it would mean more to me. I was a Pistons fan throughout the "Bad Boy" era, and a basketball fan in general. But, after Jordan's first retirement, and Isaiah Thomas leaving the game as a player, my interest waned. I'm more adept at following the world of pro wrestling than the NBA. There are kids that live and breathe that shit that would put me to shame. Still, I can't help but feel a tiny bit of pride for 'em. Way to go, guys.

Ray Charles

Rest in peace, Brother Ray. I always thought you were gonna be around to keep thrilling us. I have no doubt that you're leading the choir now.

Co-operation Makes It Happen

I just sent the following pics to some fellow gigposterers for some cross-border/cultural collaboration-type shit. Can't wait to see what develops!

Hilarious!

A Week on the Set with the Wal-Mart Smiley.

Off the Top of My Head

- I'm currently listening to a stream of Pedro the Lion's new album Achilles Heel and downlaoding photos. I might be doing a poster for 'em.

- I'm hungry.

- I've been a bit of an anime kick lately. In the past couple of weeks, I have rented the first Trigun DVD, Perfect Blue, and Vol. 3 of Cowboy Bebop. Japan on the brain, yo.

- Currently hooking up some collabos through gigposters.com. Time to get of my ass.

- I hate cell phones. Some motherfucker nearby me has a Sean Paul ringtone. Where's my knife?

- I absolutely love Nanalan. And if you haven't checked it out yet, Iron Chef America is fuckin' killer.

- Got the new Exclaim! issue in my bag. Two of 'em actually: one for the bag (for boring bus trips), and one for the bathroom. Yup.

- I'm broke. That sucks.

- I'm outta here.
