I have done a weird triptych for this year’s Small Feats fundraiser. Three 1970s style kiddies, all looking a bit demented. these are selling at the Niagara Artists Centre fundraiser this Saturday night.

Small Feats features over 150 pieces 12″x12″ artworks selling for $200 each. The event is a blast, an art sale like no other. The proceeds are split between NAC and the artists. Art lovers stream through the doors and smartly-attired volunteers (myself included!) ring in the sales.

Call for Musicians ads

When I created the look for this year’s Open Tuning Festival, I wanted the typeface, colours, and images to be easily repurposed for many uses. As we get closer to festival day, June 8, participants will be making their own posters and media. A simple toolkit they can all access was the way to go.

The festival organizers try to attract as many different types of musicians as it can. These ads, currently being rolled out on Instagram and Facebook, aim to do that.
