The Past – Holywater

on 01/15/2015

Putting the final touches on the new album design for Winnipeg-based rock group The Past.  Their first album Holywater is set to drop sometime in the new few months.  Definitely a fun project to work on, and it’s always fun doing work for your friends.  I’ve done a bunch of work for Jordy Heppner (formerly from Hope Atlantic) over the past number of years and it’s nice to be able to help him launch his new project.  Expect big things from these guys in the not-too-distant future.

Which reminds me that I’ve worked on a bunch of different album designs over the past few years.  Check out the designs after the jump.

Wedding Socials

on 01/11/2015

A social is a particularly Manitoba-grown concept. It’s a fundraising party, often for a wedding, charitable or community organization.  A wedding social gives people a way to include friends and relatives in the wedding when you could not invite them, and allows friends and family to support the couple financially for their new life together.  For more information on planning your social, check out the Manitoba Socials Guide.

Whether you are planning a wedding social, social gathering, fundraiser, birthday celebration, anniversary, baby shower, graduation party or retirement party, we can help take your special event to the next level with custom designed tickets, posters, banners and more.

RIP Gerald Hallick

on 01/10/2015

It’s been way too long since I last updated this site.  Time flies, things change and 2014 has been a whirlwind year.  I got engaged to the woman of my dreams, hosted a kick-ass wedding social (it’s a Winnipeg thing), laid to rest my beloved grandpa Gerald Hallick and designed a lot!  Suffice to say, lots of ups and downs, but I think 2015 is going to be an even better.  I’m going to try and stay off the internet more and more, try to live in the “real world”, and spend more time with my wife-to-be.  Which means this site may be even less active (if that’s even possible?).

I thought I would share this baseball card design from a few years ago.  It was my grandpa’s 85th birthday and the St. Louis Cardinals (his favourite team) won the World Series that year.  Oddly enough, they also won the World Series the same the year he was born (1926).  He must be their good luck charm.

I’m definitely gonna miss his quiet wisdom and sense of humour, but I can find solace in the fact that he lived a full life and spent the majority of it (61 years!) married to the love of his life, Shirley.

R.I.P. Gerald “Grandpa” Hallick – 1926-2014
