Catalog Gallery Presents: New Work by Other / Troy Lovegates

Posted on March 25, 2011 | Leave a comment

Vaughn Robert Squire is back on the grind at Catalog, balancing the daily operations of the creative agency/gallery with his ongoing Prison Garde project. Forthcoming at the gallery is a new exhibition of works by Other aka Troy Lovegates, a longtime favorite of both Rob and our very own Brendan (aka /85). This video provides a glimpse in to Other’s expansive styles and should give a good idea of what to expect during his showing at the gallery. I really feel the editing of this clip, plus Rob + Andrew Gordon Macpherson (aka ANGO) absolutely smash the soundtrack. Nice work all around, and I can’t wait to check this out on an upcoming mainland trip.

Allister Lee Studio B.I.B. 500 Marker Poster

Posted on March 7, 2011 | Leave a comment


Allister Lee aka ALIST is a Victoria BC native and artist/designer who has worked with the likes of Stussy, Staple, Nike and Supreme, to name a few. Lee is know for his use and love of simple drawing supplies, mostly limited to black marker on paper. A few years back I remember seeing a graphic he did for Stussy which was made up of a bunch of hand drawn black markers from all different makes and styles. That graphic was a small preview of what he has been working on now for almost a decade, 500 hand draw black markers all of different makes, vintages and styles. He has decided to produce a limited edition poster of the 500 marker drawings, which measures 42” x 32”, and is printed on 80lb gloss poster stock.  The poster is now available at the Reed Space in NY and his own website for $40USD.

Polarization: Part. 1

Posted on February 28, 2011 | Leave a comment

Here is a look at some pics from my day-to-day activities and adventures over the last month or so. It’s been a while since we have posted any personal images on here so I decided to put a few things up. It is a arbitrary mashup of things that I have captured over the last little while; hope you enjoy the randomness that is my life, more images after the jump…

Nostalgic Death Delirium by Matt Savage

Posted on November 23, 2010 | Leave a comment

Our good friend (and basically resident photographer) Matt Savage has recently completed his newest project entitled ‘Nostalgic Death Delirium,’ a short film shot entirely on Super 8. We were privileged to be part of this project, as some of the film you’ll see was taken on our GOC motorbike trip this past summer. We’re super stoked on the result, and combined with the amazing soundtrack provided by Stephen Graf and Scott Mcleod, this is a product Matt should proud of.

Cost for Supreme

Posted on October 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

Here is a look at a great upcoming collaboration between two New York greats, graffiti artist Cost and streetwear label Supreme. Supreme has teamed up with legendary NY street graffiti writer Cost, who had a huge presence in the downtown New York streets in the late 80′s and early 90′s. Along with his partner in crime Revs they introduced different mediums into the street bombing realm, such as wheat-paste posters and roller paint hits on high visibility rooftops. The two made a huge name for themselves in the graffiti movement, and originated a new style or way of getting your name and message up and noticed. Trust Supreme to bring some true light to one of the street bombing pioneers and game changers, Cost. These four t-shirts designed by Cost will be released online and in the New York Supreme location on Oct. 14th, and in Japan on the 16th. Keep reading for more pics and a write up on Cost from Supreme themselves…

Catalog Gallery Presents: The Dark – Postulate Dementia Show

Posted on September 24, 2010 | Leave a comment

For the opening of the new Catalog Gallery, October 8th in Gastown, Vancouver, the team has shot this video promoting The Dark, who’s work will be featured in the gallery’s inaugural show. Putting all that East Van grime on full display, I think this video captures the aesthetic of the Catalog crew and their vision perfectly… can’t wait to see what else is to come.
