Stratford Summer Music

2011-02-10T12:50:00.000-08:00

Hey there. I forgot to post this a while ago when I finished it. This is the new Stratford Summer Music festival poster I did for the upcoming season. It was a real pleasure to work with John Miller and I was happy with the outcome. I have also updated new work on my website if you want to check it out over here.

Snow covered.

This is the latest from the High Park installations, the "High Park High Chair". Adrian and I had to purge some more of the wood we've collected during our latest move, and this is what came of it. Big thanks to Ty for helping us on what turned out to be a pretty exciting adventure into the Park one evening.

Delux Hand Painted Signs

This is a project I wrapped up last week. I was happy to go back to Arcade agency and finish up a project I started when I was interning there. I designed these walk in lunch and dinner signs for the restaurant Delux, in collaboration with Jonathon Yule at Arcade. I used one shot enamel paints, and was really happy with the outcome.
Have an eye out for these guys out front 92 Ossington, and stop in if you want some good eats!

This is a piece I was commissioned to do recently. I was excited to work bigger than I usually do. It measures 3 X 5 feet, and is made of mix media including collage, gouache on sewn paper with lino prints for the pattern. Thanks to Adrian for all his help with the printing, and thanks to Kim and Ian for the project!

Preserve labels

2010-12-17T12:35:00.000-08:00

For the past three months I've been working as a design intern at Arcade agency. I've been a fan of Arcade's work and was thrilled to get the chance to work for them. I was especially excited to get to work on some of their design for the restaurant Delux. This is a project I just wrapped up, which was to design labels for preserves that are to be sold within the restaurant. If you have yet to eat at Delux it is well worth the trip to 92 Ossington, everything is so tasty! If you still need a gift for someone this holiday season, drop by or send them an email to pick yourself up some Candied Walnuts, Pickled Raisins, or Pickled Jalapenos.
More projects to come soon!

NOVEMBER

2010-11-30T07:55:00.000-08:00

The kind folks at Studio number nineteen asked me to illustrate the month of November for their illustrated calendar project. They asked a bunch of local illustrators to do a month each, and I was thrilled to be part of it. Each had only two colours for their palette. I chose to go with a fall green and orange. The illustration itself could be whatever we wanted. My roomie has a Type drawer full of "nick nacks" and I've always really liked the look of it, so much so I chose to illustrate a drawer full of my very own "nick nacks". I'm looking forward to seeing everyones work for it. They should be available in the next two weeks at Kid Icarus in Kensington.

New poster design and Saloon doors!

2010-08-03T15:50:00.000-07:00

This was put on the back burner for a bit, but I finally got around to it. Its the second in the poster series for movies I liked when I was younger, and still can enjoy today. The first was The Sandlot, which you can see here.
This is true. Simply because I rarely feel like a cowboy going in and out of my kitchen now.

Somewhere in High Park...

2010-07-13T15:27:00.000-07:00

Adrian and I have a bad - or depending on how you look at it, good - habit of bringing home scraps of wood. Toronto often offers up some pieces I can't just leave for the scrap pile. It recently got to the point where our deck was too full we couldn't use it. This was the solution. Adrian had a haphazard brightly colored teepee vision in mind and I was happy to help out in the execution.

Soon, but not too soon, you'll be able to find a map to this little structure buried in the vast green of High Park.

bye now

Another summer themed print. This is for all those who enjoy the grill. The J is my new logo printed inside a calender I found on the street. This year has already offered some great finds from the sidewalk, I will soon post a brand new (to me) tool box I found that blew my mind!

New poster

2010-06-13T09:33:00.000-07:00

This is a one off of a poster series I'm doing. The quote is from Aloe Blacc's song "I need a dollar". It's a lino cut and silkscreen on wood. I'm printing an edition of 20 later this week on a nice heavy weight paper. That version will be a little different, so keep your eyes open or else you may miss it, and how to get your hands on one.
If you'd be into it, that is.

These are some photos I just got developed, from my weekend up on McCrae lake. It was full of bugs and we all got bit quite a bit. Crazy fun nonetheless.
In other news my website is well on it's way to being finished and will be launched in June. Just in case you were wondering....

This is a little taste from a logo I'm working on for a band called The Treasures. Check em out!

This is a little project I'm working on with my good pal Adrian Forrow. It's actually going to be about six feet tall when printed, so maybe not such a small project. More collaborations on the way too, in the form of a poster series/zine called Canyon Files!

Hello there. This is a show I'm happy to be a part of coming up on April 7th.

The show will be at Steam Whistle Brewery, and should definitely be a fun time. I'm super excited to be working with Patrick Thompson, Chris Kuzma, Alexa Hatanaka, Ryan Lake, Patrick Kyle, Adrian Forrow, Kellen Hatanaka, and Beside Herself printing. keep checking back for further updates, and hopefully extensive video blogging over on that group blog.

I just picked these screen printed posters up yesterday, and am excited to share them. Carolyn Self of Beside Herself Printing did an amazing job and I'd like to thank her again for all her work. This is the first poster design in my poster series for films I've loved as a kid and still thoroughly enjoy today. These are the first edition run of 50, just in time for the holidays (in case you're looking to give something hand made this season.) Just get in touch with me if you're interested in purchasing one, at a very affordable $30.00. I will be back soon with the next poster design and an upcoming show details?

2009-12-04T19:30:00.000-08:00

This is just something I made up to meet this weeks quota. I just wanted to use some old textures I've never used, as well as some patterns and graphics made for ongoing projects. I'm working on some new things for that little holiday that's just around the corner, and other small projects that will be shared soon. Something more substantial to come, for sure.
thanks for droppin' by!

This is a card I made (lino cut, tracing paper and stitching), to say thanks for all the amazing hospitality and incredible food I enjoyed at the Slaughter house.
thanks again

I would like to thank Jamie for all the prints, Nawfal for the opportunity and documentation, and Hannah for getting us and all our stuff there.

play safe folks!

I had a little accident earlier this week, but still am trying to be productive. So here's a little peek at what I've been up to.
thanks for stopping by!

dog, glasses, scissors, and gingham

2009-10-29T11:50:00.000-07:00

These are some variations of a logo I'm working on for the branding of a project called "scissor house". It's still early in the development but I had a pretty vivid idea of what I wanted to do when the project was proposed to me. These next little bits are a some graphics I made for other projects that didn't end up being used, so now I've screen printed onto some blue gingham. The dog and glasses were scanned a little weird and gave them what looks like another blue that isn't on the actual pieces but I sort of liked it, so I left it.

That's all for this week, I also just wanted to wish my sis good luck who runs this Sunday. Go get em tiger!

Finally printed!

2009-10-23T18:11:00.000-07:00

One of Jess' options to wear for the run.

# 1 fan of distance runner Jess Mezei, my fair lady Hannah models her new t-shirt.

Here they are, I just finished up these shirts this week. It was pretty tough doing five colours with my one screen(I know it only looks like 4 colours, but the red and dark orange are different I swear). I only screwed one up pretty bad, and it was my own which is a good thing. The shirts Jess will wear for the run turned out good which I was happy about. I'm glad they're done, and I'm pretty excited to see the design finally executed on some shirts.

I miss these

2009-10-15T20:47:00.000-07:00

I haven't seen these in parks lately and I feel bad for the kids of today. I only say "these" because I don't remember the proper name. I do remember them to be nothing but fun, sure a little dangerous but mostly fun. Something more substantial is on the way. This is really just an offshoot of a another ongoing project, but still I think we should all take the time out to play something once and a while. It's super fun.

Sandlot sandlot sandlot!

2009-10-08T09:17:00.000-07:00

This is a personal project I started. I wanted to do some posters for a few of my favourite films, and this is the first in the series. The Sandlot is a classic and I still hope to grow up and be Benjamin Franklin Rodriquez. I've been working on this for a while, and I must thank my design consultant for helping me clarify the design. I imposed it on a card just to showcase it for now, but I plan on screening these in the months to come. The next will be here shortly and I'll give you a hint, "This one's for Johnny man, Johnny".

lil update

2009-10-02T17:00:00.000-07:00

Hello there,
this is just a small update this week. Sorry it's a bit of cop out, I know. This is the re-design of my sister's marathon shirt that I will be printing sometime in the next few weeks. I have a couple of personal projects on the go and I will post them hopefully by next week. Be back with somethin' brand new next time, check back in I swear!

Hello there, here are a few sketches along with an ongoing project I worked on this week. I've missed charcoal and decided to break it out again with a couple of these. Hope you enjoy em, see you next week!

Design slab "Wow! look at him go"
Studio wall proudly hanging a Jeff Garcia print, a Tom Slaughter poster, a couple original Kellen Hatanak's, and soon some original Adrian Forrow's. Always looking for more!

Some collaborations in the early stages, design slab again, and a seafood take out bag.

Here's a little something I made a while ago. This was dubbed a design slab (bit of 2X4) that I used to paint, collage and practice some resin on. I like how it turned out, its a little cluttered but still a fun experiment. Also I thought I'd share with you my new space as it's shaping up, still have to customize a L shaped desk for the corner which should be fun. I'm excited to be able to work somewhere other than my bedroom. Monsieur Hatanaka came by today and this is just a small peek at a little collaboration we started. There will be more next week, tune back in then folks!

Something new

2009-09-11T18:49:00.000-07:00

My sister, Jess Mezei is taking part in the New York City marathon coming up on Nov.1st. I was pretty excited when she asked me to design the shirt she'll be running in. I'm pretty happy with it, I might make a few small changes, but this is it so far. The back is a simplified map of New York with the route outlined by the dark stripe.
Also I have a small bit of news. A piece of mine was runner up for Creative Quarterly's issue #16 which you can check out in their online gallery.

Docks during the garbage strike

Hello there, sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been trying to keep busy. Here's a little bit of what I've been up to. The photos were at the docks during that lovely garbage strike we had here in Toronto. All the garbage collected was so thick it was tough to throw rocks and get a splash, rather they bounced off and skipped along. The sketch is just from a nice beach day, which I happily have tried to visit as often as I could this summer. The last few are some gifts I've been working on. The cottage piece is for the Russell's and always letting us go up there and putting up with us. The other three are part of "The aerial series". I plan on making a run of 20 or so shirts and canvas bags to go with these original collage/design pieces, so look out for that.

Another thanks must be given to Mike Perry for all the work he "traded" us when we stopped by his great space in Brooklyn, it still feels like we sort of robbed him.

Great mural in progress on Houston street by Os Gemeos from Brazil who we had the pleasure of meeting.
Loot Bag! Kellen, Adrian and I just finished dropping a few of our loot bags off at different design agencies/studio's in New York. Thanks to all those who allowed us to crash their busy days and took the time out to show us around.

Practice Patterns and Seersucker

2009-06-26T13:53:00.000-07:00

Here are some patterns I screen printed on some seer sucker and my back pack. This is really just a preview of the type of patterns I eventually screened onto some shirts I fabricated last week. I will post them shortly.

New buttons!

2009-06-19T10:04:00.000-07:00

Hello there, sorry I haven't updated in a while I've been working on some projects and some more promotion. These latest buttons were inspired from a series of paintings I did for Transport. Big thanks to the very speedy people at Six Cent Press where the buttons were made, and where you can now check them out in the news section of their website.

lino - cuts

2009-05-27T17:28:00.000-07:00

I realized I had a bunch of lino cuts lying around that I had done earlier this year. I decided to make a couple of prints of mostly the type on some good paper.

Website update

2009-05-19T19:12:00.000-07:00

I just want to thank everyone who came down to keep six contemporary this Friday. There was a good turn out, which made for a fun night. If you couldn't make it down this weekend, the show will be running until the 30th at Keep Six, who's hours are 12-6pm Tuesdays to Sundays.Thanks again to all.

PROMOTIONS!

2009-04-30T22:07:00.000-07:00

It's been an exciting week!

printing at Halo Halo studio at 401 Richmond, having a ball as you can see!

First up are some promotional Posters/cards for a group show entitled "TRANSPORT" I'm excited to be a part of with Adrian Forrow, and Kellen Hatanaka. We just picked up our postcards which will be dispersed around this fine city inviting you and others to check out the show May 15th - through to the 30th at Keep Six Contemporary. A huge thanks must go out to Jeff Garcia for all the help in creating our new posters, which will be up in a few stores around the city and also available for sale at the show.

button business.

I also picked up my business cards today and finished my own promotional packages. These matchbooks equipped with buttons helped me realize a short term goal of designing a logo for a diner, which I was eager to do. These are for the upcoming grad show at OCAD May 7th, where I will be displaying my thesis work. Thanks in large part to Hannah who did an amazing job scoring and folding, I am now done.

Paintings again

2009-04-22T22:21:00.000-07:00

Here are some paintings I did for class, two are on wood and one is on an LP cover. I had fun using a bunch of different mediums on these surfaces that could take quite a bit. Sorry Jess, if you notice that is your grade four ruler pasted on the skeleton one. I figured you weren't using it.

Portraits

2009-04-17T14:44:00.000-07:00

Here are some portraits from the photo shoot day. The print quality could be a bit better, I just wanted to do a few quick today, as a little thank you for the models who did a wicked job.

wanna play stick ball?

2009-04-11T14:09:00.000-07:00

This was part of that photo shoot last week. This second shoot was to look like depression era 30's.

Website is up!

2009-04-08T14:07:00.000-07:00

This is good news, I have finally successfully put up My Website. This blog will now feature mostly sketches and other more random articles.

Thesis book cover

2009-04-07T22:55:00.000-07:00

I thought I might as well add this while I'm still awake

Goin, Goin, Back, Back, to...1956 maybe

2009-04-07T18:50:00.000-07:00

These are some examples of a photo shoot I did just this past weekend. I had quite a few friends willing to travel back to simpler times. The shots look pretty good, the scan quality isn't the greatest but these prints turned out pretty nice. Thanks again for everyone who helped out. There are plenty more decent shots that I have yet to print, time is an issue right now however.

just a part

2009-03-31T22:36:00.000-07:00

this water tower is going to be a piece of something bigger

thesis yet again

2009-03-24T22:24:00.001-07:00

I struggled to get this one out, but finally got it to a point I was pleased with.

collaborative book project

2009-03-19T19:43:00.000-07:00

This hear is a little side project I worked on with a mister Kellen Hatanaka. Something he came up with, to thank those people in New York who showed us a good time on our trip over the break. We took a lot of photos and did what we could with them. I was happy to help in any way I could, and I think it turned out pretty nice for a little Christmas break project that may have lingered for a while but came out lookin' fresh nonetheless.

next up on the thesis block

2009-03-11T14:03:00.001-07:00

J is for junk

2009-03-06T10:18:00.000-08:00
