Yesterday Tomio Nitto went to the David Cronenberg EVOLUTION Show at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Tomio is not only a big fan of Mr. Cronenberg’s work, he has had the great pleasure of doing work for him. Tomio created artworks for both movies ‘The Fly’ and ‘Madama Butterfly’. Tomio was delighted to have the original artworks signed by Mr. Cronenberg.

Maurice Vellekoop draws The Many Faces of Glenn Pushelberg

Maurice Vellekoop creates a unique gift for Glenn Pushelberg on his approaching significant birthday. Maurice was commissioned by George Yabu to create an original watercolour-on-paper ABC book for Glenn’s Birthday. Maurice came up with sketches based on text that George supplied for this one-of-a-kind book.  The amazing Don Taylor, a Toronto book binder, created a plate using Maurice’s hand drawn typography for the embossed cover.  Here is the cover and just a few inside pieces.

Halloween 1997

Back in the day, one Halloween Eve, the Reactorites were at the launch of Canada Post’s Halloween 1997 stamps. Louis Fishauf was the series art director and designer. Jamie Bennett, Simon Ng, Tom Hunt and Blair Drawson created art for the Werewolf, the Goblin, the Ghost and Dracula. City TV attended the launch of The Haunted Stamp collection at Reactor’s studio and featured an interview with Louis and a representative from Canada Post. The project included the four stamps, a first day cover featuring glow-in-the-dark illustrations by Jamie Bennett, and Haunted House commemorative packaging.
