Unfortunately I was feeling self-conscious about a zit on my lip, and missed the opportunity to say something intelligent or articulate. I think all I said was something like “I love CBC!”

But I do love CBC… and I think the quality of CBC’s journalism, meeting Hamilton’s deep well of local talent will result in good things for all.

I wish CBC Hamilton the best with their startup – and I look forward to tuning in.

“So I setup army blockers… is it easy now?”

A wonderful short film about a 9 year old boy from East LA who built his own arcade out of cardboard boxes. I admire Nirvan Mullick for encouraging and empowering a young, creative person in this way. This filmed moved me… also the fun pass is a good deal.

Also available: ladies Ts, unisex, hoodies, beanies, work shirts and more! More product info and photos will be added to this site soon.

In order to get away from the another “rock band looking disinterested or pissed off” promotional photograph, we took a series of portraits of the band members and digitally com positioned them together. Individual portraits allowed for the selection of the best image of each band member, and what appears to be an effective final composition.

Citizen A was additionally commissioned to complete 2 illustrations for RFU’s upcoming rock EP “Evil Six”. A two headed bird creature was to be added to the pre-existing logo as well as the band’s full name. A simple “evil six” logo was created for the back track listing.

In the winter of 2011, Edgar took a commercial flight from Hamilton to Calgary. Mesmerized by the ever-morphing patterns and shapes of the geography and landscape far below, this series of aerial photographs soars above the Canadian shield, over snow-covered Badlands and spills into the rigid grid system of the western prairies.

“The lighting that day was great,” says Edgar. “So often you’re on a plane and you can’t see much below, but on this day everything was crystal clear. What I was seeing was amazing, breathtaking, and not from a vantage point I can get everyday. So I spent the entire flight with my face and camera jammed up against the window. Some of the images look more like abstract paintings or modern designs than aerial photographs of the Canadian landscape.”
“I processed most of the images in black and white, as I felt it best emphasizes the bizarre shapes created by an ever-changing terrain. As I got further out west, the sparkling gold and rich blue hues that the evening sun created on the Badlands and prairies was fantastic, so these photos remained colour. The sun, the landscape and man-made infrastructure were collectively painting my canvas – I was simply capturing and framing what was happening below. The evident diversity of our country’s enormous and vast landscape is incredible. I feel a lot of gratitude to be Canadian, I hope this series will inspire people to appreciate and protect our natural resources.”
