Our favourite art + design site Lost at E Minor just posted about our latest issue. Thanks for SNAP! supporting guys!

Cool flow chart showing how to be a computer wizz. I'm tempted to send this to my father.

Is it just us or have you noticed The Cure being played around town a lot lately? In stores, bars, my living room ... anyway, this music video is genius! I miss you hiss!

Just came across this amusing post. 'THE GUIDE TO BEING SO CHOICE aka How Sloane Peterson from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Taught me how to be an Awesome Girlfriend.'

Amusing site ... here are a few goods ones.

Feature Shoot is a pretty cool site, showcasing the work of photographers from the world over - lots of nice stuff to look at. But what gets my nod is their 'Theme Fridays' - publishing a series of photos that fit in with their weekly theme.

Couple of nice pics from German duo Various and Gould's 'Rabotniki.' Check their site - cool design and loads to look at.

Montreal has a pretty big population of peeps from other cities / countries and this goes out to you self-made orphans! I just came across this image on Now Voyager about being homesick. Ohhhh...

I'm a big fan of this song by Fleet Foxes and just came across the music video by Sean Pecknold ... yesssss ...

We're placing our first round of tees next week so jump onboard and get your order in! A total bargain at just $20 - check here for details.

Pop Montreal is nearly here so go out and get your hands on a copy of their schedule and start circling your must-attend events!

Ha ha - haven't seen this in a long while but it still makes me laugh!

A big call out to our favourite Swedish boys at Svenska! Congrats on the re-design of the WeSC site! It looks great and we no longer have to tango with the slow slow slow flash :)

Kurt Vonnegut maps out Cinderella's emotional journey. Perhaps I should start doing this with my life - could be interesting ...

Check this trailer for the new HBO series Bored To Death starting September 20th. It stars Jason Schwartzman as a private investigator / writer.

Genero.tv is a new site which calls music fans to create music videos for their favourite bands. The first call opened yesterday with 16 songs up for grabs.

I just came across David through Yay Everyday. He has so many great doodles and collages. Check here for more.

Vinylville has some pretty cool designs to pimp out your mac. Check it.

19 top fonts used by web designers ... interesing read. There are only a few serifs in there ...

Jason Schwartzman and kite star in the second film for the new Opening Ceremony store in Tokyo. Director Matt Wolf adds a sweet soundtrack to the ups and downs of kite flying.

Ha ha ha! Just came across this chewing gum keyboard for blondes. Apparently the 'American Blonde Association of America' (cause of course such a group exists) gave it their paw of approval.

What I Wore Today - a cool blog where peeps post sketches of their daily outfits. Good for the camera shy, bad for the unartistic. Lucky I do great stick drawings - expect to be dazzled in the next few days ...

I want to live in this website ... A great source of fashion inspiration - impossibly cool.

I just came across 34 inventions using braille. Personal favourites include braille tattoos, wall paper, and controversial t-shirts. A great excuse for some sneaky chest touching right there ...

Montreal-based Night of Kites is a band to keep an eye on (http://www.myspace.com/nightofkites). They combine a banjo, a loop-peddle, and hip hop beats with dark lyrics and layered vocals and their shows leave you wanting more.

A total steal for $20! Seriously - get your tee on! Check here for details ...

Sent from Dunedin, New Zealand.

As announced in SNAP! issue 8, our three t-shirt winners were: Alain Cheung, Maxime Francout, and Cedric Taillon.  Well done guys!

We'll be printing and selling the first two for $20 plus tax and shipping ($27 in Canada or $22.50 if you come and pick it up). Both tees are unisex and come in XS, S, M, L, XL.

A big thanks to everyone who came out last Thursday night to our launch party! Fun times! Issue 8 is online and we're now out there on the streets, biking it across town.

Thank you to the talented Jen and Mark from The Cult Theory for these images from the Under Pressure graffiti convention held earlier last month.
