polaris music prize

after sneaking into the unveiling of the top ten shortlist for the 2008 polaris music prize on july 8th, i learned that hometown hero dan snaith was nominated for the $20 000 award.

though only one of the nominees wins the cash prize, all ten receive custom made posters by an artist of their hometown.

and because caribou and i are both from dundas, ontario, i was selected to make his poster.

and here it is...

(whoa! the colours totally changed when i uploaded it... i don't know why, do you?)

also, thank you to the following people for helping me with this fucking sweet poster:

michelle williams

steve marck

nick lawson

john sicilia

matthew mcinnis

dave kuruc

and 

jeremy kemeny

GO TEAM!!
