This is Floyd.   He has a morbid fear of brooms, likes long walks on the beach and has a lop-sided jaw, causing his tongue to perpetually hang two inches out to the left.   When he walks too close to the coffee table his tongue collects anything sitting too close to the edge, including low lying ash-trays, hash, and rogue bags of dry yeast.

We're going to print on SNAP! Magazine #8 soon so apologize for the site being a little neglected. Get your t-shirt design votes in as voting closes the 30th!

We'll be back soon!

Just a reminder that you should be at this event. I'm looking at the exhibit now and man, you gotta come see it.

This just made my morning - made me laugh so hard! Check it!

Thanks Arash :)

Ferguson Mcdonald takes us to a whole new place with a less glamourous street stylin' blog.

Very cool.

We're pretty excited about Papirmasse's vernissage tomorrow at the SNAP! Salon. And to cap the night off, we'll be getting our first taste of the elusive Bierbrier pilsner (just launched!). So come on out and get your Thursday on!

Osheaga headliner Coldplay have just released this great video of Strawberry Swing from their latest album Viva la Vida.

Walt Ribeiro has a pretty cool project happening in For Orchestra.

Oh man, news in that Beastie Boys have bowed out of Osheaga! Adam Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour - it's been caught and is treatable but doctor's order are for rest and recovery. Too bad! Wonder who's set to replace them ...?

We've posted a few pics from Brandi Strickland before and I was pretty excited to stumble across Paper Whistle. The site sees Brandi teamed up with designer Robert Bentley- the duo selling affordable prints online. So many beautiful pieces for just $30. Go check it!

That's right folks, t-shirt submissions close tomorrow (July 22nd) so send in yours now! Voting closes July 29th with winners included in the next issue of SNAP! Magazine.

Go and vote now! Details here. Hells ye!

I'm currently working on an idea for a reality TV show. You can't rush these things so I'm giving it time and a good think.  I felt a little jipped today when I came across this story about an art-world reality TV show. Way to steal my thunder.

Montreal filmmaker Robby Reis recently finished shooting his short film Suha. He's since thrown up a blog which gives insight into the filming process as well as interesting behind-the-scenes stories.

Just came across this image and it made me smile. Enjoy your Saturday night!

The Yellow Bird Project invites bands to design a t-shirt with all profits going to a charity of the bands choice. They've had some pretty big names involved so far with The National, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Broken Social Scene, K-OS and more all penning some wacky images.

Still a big fan of A Beautiful Revolution. These cards caught my attention.

We've got 3 Mimoco Star Wars USB keys to give-away. Drop us a line and tell us why Star Wars rocks to get your own info[at]snapme.ca

Here is an entry by Robby Reis.

Dunno where the summer went. Here's some Fall weather dressing inspiration.

For everyone who doesn't know what a goanna is, here you go! A cheeky wee Wednesday morning chuckle.

Take a look at this tribute to MJ - the Eternal Moonwalk. You can submit your own videos to be included. I watched for a while and I think that it is 'eternal.' It was seriously starting to do my head in after a while but go check it!

I'm trying to make vegetables my main food these days. I think it's because it's summer and I'm constantly dehydrated. I've been adding an extra vegetable or two to most of my meals, making entire meals around salads, and eating lots more raw fruit and veggies. I'm into it.

We're digging the work of Argentinian-based illustrator Veronica Blejman.

WeSC headphones are part of our T-shirt design prize packs! We'll be announcing more goodies over the next few days. Get sketching!
