Proud to be Canadian!
By · CommentsAnyone else going through Olympic-withdrawal??
We can truly say we’ve never been so proud to be Canadian! We had so much fun helping Vancouver paint the city red and white – transforming vehicles into large Canadian flags, printing large hanging banners for Aberdeen Mall to support the Canadian Speed Skating Team and not to mention producing the sea of red maple leafs that went on windows all across Vancouver! A great big thanks to all the athletes, volunteers and VANOC employees who made this an unforgettable 2 weeks for all of us!
WAY TO GO CANADA!!!!
An unsolicited review from a lawyer
By · Comments
Late last week, we received an unsolicited review from Michael Frost, a lawyer from Cohen Buchen Edwards, a well-known and respected law firm in Richmond, BC. We had made some custom Giclee Artist Canvas prints for them as part of their corporate artwork. Here’s what he said:
Upon seeing some photographic images reproduced by Speedpro onto a canvas frame, I decided that this was an ideal way to capture some family pictures that my wife and I had received as a present from our progeny. We were delighted with the result. The images, the colour and the unusual format (not to mention the price) are outstanding. Our problem now is simply a shortage of wall space!
Thanks Michael! We’re thrilled that you are happy with them!
Bye-Bye Blank Walls, Hello Canvas Masterpiece!!
By · CommentsThe highly anticipated wedding collage is finally up on our walls! And it has only been a year and a half since the wedding! I think I’m improving! 
It’s the first time we’ve mixed canvases of different thicknesses in one collage and I think it turned out fantastic!
I put them on the wall with 3M Interlocking Fasteners with pull tabs so they can be removed without taking paint with it. No holes in the wall either! This means we can rearrange them, add more to the collage or replace canvases whenever we want. For all my hard work and the wonderful compliments I’m getting, I give myself a great big pat on the back!

Forget blogging. Forget Facebook, Twitter or website guestbooks. The Vancouver Fringe Festival has re-invented how we express our opinions.
From the minds of Fringe Festival Executive Director David Jordan and his team came a new, innovative vision for audiences to engage with festival activities and leave feedback immediately after viewing a show.
Helping to make this vision a reality was Speedpro Imaging; official sponsor of the festival, wrapping the main Fringe Festival office building on Granville Island completely in vinyl.
This unparalleled presentation combines existing architecture used during the Festival with public opinion, giving audiences a chance to immediately share their thoughts about the show by writing directly on the office walls as well as festival enthusiasts a look at what is most popular.
For David Jordan and his team, inspiration for the ‘Buzz Board’, as it was named, came from a desire to incorporate audience participation.
“We wanted to engage the audiences and get them participating, as a way to faciliate buzz in the festival. We wanted to do something that was interactive,” explained David Jordan during a recent interview when asked about the ‘Buzz Board’.
The Fringe Festival wraps up on September 20th; but Pick of the Fringe continues afterwards, from September 24th to 27th, giving audiences yet another exclusive opportunity to share their thoughts on the Buzz Board.

Liz’s Home Reno – Part 1
By · CommentsWorking in a sign shop and all, you’d think my home would be decked out with fancy wall graphics, photo enlargements, artist canvas collections and such. Sadly, that’s not the case. Sure, the ideas are there…perhaps what’s lacking is the effort part…
Having said that, I’m proud to say that this weekend I finally got around to installing shower door graphics in our guest bathroom! — TA DAA!!
Still feeling the rush of such a fantastic accomplishment, I’ve decided to challenge myself to continue jazzing up the apartment!
Personal Goal: To have 1 item on list of decor essentials completed each month until list has been exhausted.
What’s next?: Artist canvas print(s) to put on dining area wall. Step 1: Go through honeymoon photos *groans*
Not so much meaner, but definitely GREENER Vancouver

Once again, EPIC the Sustainable Living Expo hit Vancouver with a big bang at the new and gorgeous Convention Centre! This year, there was definitely a bit of something for everyone: I got to shop for jewellery, clothes and all-natural health and beauty products, the husband got to test drive a new Lexus hybrid and I think we can all agree we enjoyed the yummy food samples and sips from the wine bar!!
While we were there, I got to visit our friends over at the Smell This! Aromatherapy booth. You didn’t need a map to find them, all you had to do was follow your nose! …okay I’m exaggerating, but seriously, they smell GOOD! This year we helped bring more attention to their booth with custom printed T-shirts in addition to the 10’ banner backdrop, check it out!
Red Rain Energy | Kia Soul Wrap

This wrap came from back east to promote Red Rain Energy Drinks. It was done on very short notice, but turned out really well. Everyone was really pleased with it. Check out the images.
Tartan Truck Revisited
By · Comments
Men in Kilts just got us to wrap another one of their fleet trucks for them. This time it was a GMC Sierra with a bolder design. I think Brent and Nic did a great job making the graphics more noticeable and Rob did an amazing job making the design look right (as always). It looks like a simple design, but consider the challenge in perfectly lining up all the tartan lines on a 3D object like a truck… not a simple task.
Rob’s Canuck-mo-bile
By · Comments
Well, it’s playoff season again, and this time I finally got around to pimping my ride in true Canuck spirit! Almost immediately I couldn’t believe the amount of attention I got driving around. Honking, cheering and guys just rolling down their windows to “chit-the-Canucks-chat” while waiting at a red light. Someone even chatted me up about the Canucks and then tried to pick up my girlfriend.
