Can you describe your style as an illustrator/director, and talk a little bit about what – or who – inspires you? My style is not to be taken too seriously, but hopefully enjoyed. It’s just me having fun and exploring the mystical elements of nature and violence within us all. People like William Blake, Alejandro Jodorowsky, […]
The Toronto FC are playing soccer right now in Florida. It’s the same old story: one of our great local sports franchises has had to play out the regular season south of the border while the pandemic winds down, and in the meantime, we here in Canada have to do without. But even though the […]
Being respected and welcomed into the sneaker community can be a laborious journey for anyone. It’s a tediously gate-kept space that has rapidly grown into its own male-dominated culture that often provides female sneakerheads with little to no freedom to thrive. Subjected to higher resell markups, harsher criticism, and far less opportunities than their male […]
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I had no idea when I’d ever be interviewing Michael B. Jordan. Not that it’d never happen, but with his trajectory—he’s not only starring in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, an action film that truly showcases Jordan as the leading hero, but he’s producing a number of projects, all while gearing up […]
On top of getting props from Chuck D in Dublin (more on that in a minute), Cadence Weapon also wants to carry on the legacy of Public Enemy, Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Clash, and other power-fighting artists, making himself a rarity in this flashy TikTok age. He explores facial recognition’s hidden evils over the chirping […]
Chuba Hubbard has always gone his own way. The 21-year-old from Sherwood Park, Alberta has made choices that outwardly defied convention in the world of football. After a 2019 for the history books and a 2020 of personal growth, Hubbard will be selected in the 2021 NFL Draft this weekend. Hubbard possesses blazing breakaway speed […]
The phrase “these trying times” has been so over-used it’s passed right through meaninglessness and into self-parody—a stock phrase that now feels too crass to even to slap onto the bottom of a low-effort marketing campaign. The sad and frustrating truth, however, is that it remains true, which is of course something you can say about most […]
They’re by no means an online instigator, but sparring on Twitter is second nature to DijahSB. Even with a limited character count, the Toronto rapper is never without an arsenal of sharp retorts, navigating through beefs with impressive buoyancy. Considering their profession, quick wit is a particularly useful skill. But their mastery comes in their […]
One of the most important things John Singleton did before exiting this world was give us the ability to see ourselves on screen. He did it as an acclaimed director, and strove to continue this activity, right through his final project, FX’s Snowfall. In speaking to the actors who worked on the series, there’s a lot of […]
Right now, in 2021, there isn’t a better show on television than Snowfall. That could be my opinion, but looking at the current television landscape? It feels like a fact. Part of the beauty of the show, which John Singleton built the foundation of before he passed away, is the work the cast puts into make this […]
