LISTEN UP!

Just in case you haven't heard of him, singer/songwriter and musician, Sean Jones is getting ready to make big moves in 2008. With a sound that channels the best pieces of Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz and Seal, look out for his album 'This Is Love' to be released next year and make sure to pack it in your travel gear for those extended road trips. Here's a sneak peak for you...

THINGS WE LOVE, DON'T ASK WHY...

This installment of Things We Love takes us to the East for the works of two of our favorite Japanse artists. Both Takashi Homma and Yoshitomo Nara explore the element of simplicity in their work with an underlying skill that lets you know there is nothing simple about their final peices.

Great picks for your personal collection or as gifts that you really don't want to give are, Nara's collection of 30 illustrated postcards entitled 'Oh My God! I Miss You' and Homma's intimate personal documentary of time spent in Japan in 'Tokyo and My Daughter'.

IT'S NOT CHRISTMAS YET!

Note to all of you creative directors and marketing managers who are fully engaging in the practice of holiday slackerage (and we know who you are); GET BACK TO WORK! Hire some interesting, terriffic and fun photographers to shoot some fantastic photos in extremely exotic and hot parts of the world! GET SOME INSPIRATION FROM ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT TORONTO (such a straitjacket town no?)!
That's all.
