Fur Trade | Don't Get Heavy [ALBUM REVIEW]

So this is totally a whisky dick album. You had a great time with it, got that ass back to your place, but something is amiss *ahem* “down there”. All is definitely not lost, so let’s focus on the positives: you had a great night, you might have met your future dreamboat, and heavy petting is still a thing (and don’t let those rainbow party kids tell you anything different). When you wake up tomorrow with that headache, and make that piece of easy-on-the-eyes lying next to you breakfast (because you’re not an asshole) you realize that you have another chance.

FOCUS | Lily and Lilac

What’s the best way for young female photographers to make it in the competitive fashion industry? Dive right in and follow your dreams, say twin sisters Lily and Lilac, high fashion photographers making inroads on the scene. They decided to do just that and leave their native Montreal for Toronto to live and work in the heart of Canada’s busy fashion district. 

The Fine Line

Where do the worlds of fine art and tattoo art meet, if at all? Is it in the art itself, or in the artist who creates it? What came first, the chicken or the tree falling in the forest? Apparently, having some experts clarify things wouldn’t hurt. Two artists, Krista Bursey and Joel Conroy, talk to Karyn Gray about their art, both fine and tattoo, and whether there’s really a line dividing them.

Jeff Martin Joinery

Vancouver local and New York trained, Jeff Martin, makes beautiful things. Beautiful things we want. Badly. They may have a hefty price tag (our favourite, his custom wooden stool goes for $525 and is one of the more reasonable items) but his masterpieces in furniture design and millwork are worth your hard earned buck and will last a veritable lifetime.
