And now a special announcement slash Bat Signal support request from DC, the other half of S’up Cuz:

Yo Yo: DC in da house! I have a new t-shirt design accepted by Threadless for scoring and I need your support!!

Quick recap: Threadless is a community based t-shirt company, anyone can submit designs for various theme challenges. Winners get cash/prize and their design printed.

This is a big one folks – $10,000 prize!

This design is my homage to the original king of the road: The Hobo. Gentle yet street savvy; instinctive and in-tuned, he needs no train schedule to know where the next opportunity is. True fact: Hobos started Hollywood. Yes, he’s more than a man; he’s the gold standard in which all street warriors measure themselves to. I present to you…

HOBO STREET CRED

You score by rating the design between 1 and 5 — 5 being the best score and… don’t you worry your pretty little head about the rest of the numbers.

Remember you have to be a community member of Threadless to vote. Good news is, its free with no obligations, just create a username and password and opt out of the newsletter if you want.

Tell your friends, tell your mother, tell your friend’s mother!

Thanks for your support!

I’ve been blessed with the lovely opportunity to sit down with the charming Ronit Rubinstein from PRODUCT Magazine! The magazine, in their words covers: “Amazing People, Places and Great Things!” And last I checked I am a noun! (I’m feeling tender these days…usually when the self-esteem is higher I feel like a verb, you know how it goes).

Check this out…I am Ronit’s first magazine interview…how cool is that?

We talked about NewMusic Ten, S’up Cuz…creativity and more!

Look for that in January 2013. I know my Mom will be on the lookout.

Oh but in the meantime look for Ronit’s book…she and 2 others edited City Voices: A Book of Monologues by Toronto Artists.

You can visit one of the following: a) the pantsless option: cityvoices.ca or b) the pants option: TheatreBooks, The Glad Day Bookshop, Tarragon Theatre.

DC and myself return for another engaging S’up Cuz podcast. The topic is 2012’s Summer Movies.

With such an extravaganza of spectacle there’s lots to debate, cross arms, count down the days to opening screening and more. Plus: female celebrities, who is accessible? Who you think you could successfully close? Things that make you go hmmmm….

S’up Cuz is a t-shirt company featuring over 20 freshtastic designs by myself and DC. It’s basically another creative playground we frolic in, truly a t-shirt is a limitless canvas. So to celebrate all matters Summer…for 2012 we’re offering a free S’up Cuz podcast.

(Originally published April 22, 2009 on S’up Cuz website…)

April is Earth month as much as April 22 is Earth Day.

This XConnect interview had a huge impact on me. In the past when I’ve done interviews it was typically for 1 product or 1 company, say just a S’up Cuz interview. This interview we discussed everything…NewMusic Ten, S’up Cuz, The SampleBank all kinds of goodness.

I understand how broad interviews make me appear unfocused (I’m sure I appear scattered on this website) however I’ve adopted the exact same business model as Richard Branson’s Virgin (expect space, that I can’t afford…for now). Ultimately I’m motivated by stories: telling my stories or telling the stories of others. The great thing about social media and the web is…the campfire which we all gather around has gotten way bigger. There are not only more stories but now more storytellers. We live in one of the greatest eras!

Anyways this is my story:

Special thanks to Karim Kanji, thirdocean, XConnectTO and Karim Awad of big time design for making this happen. Oh and Harth TV.

While I’m open to any edge I can get with the ladies…I never set out to create a comic strip.

Especially one about a ninja. It just sort of happened.

Ah Christmas! Interrupting the momentum of artists for over 2000 years.

As part of Tee Gazette’s dynamic 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways S’up Cuz was able  to do an interview!

Ladies, please line up single file.

Check it here!

As for the contest and details on how you can win not just S’up Cuz t-shirts but all kinds of incredible cotton goodness here are the details.

So this is funtastic! As you know DC and I run S’up Cuz and we’ve slowly been adopted and accepted among the t-shirt set. Hopefully as we continue to improve our stock will rise. Today however I’ve become a t-shirt reviewer for Tee Gazette.

From their About:
“The Tee Gazette is a way for designers to get the word out on new designs that are being released, and contests, discounts. This will be a one stop shopping experience for those who are interested in t-shirt design and purchasing!”

So this is mega cool and a sweet honour. The work, as always begins…check out published for my reviews.
