If you aren't familiar with the Toronto Timeraiser, in a nutshell, it's a silent art auction. The big twist, however, is that rather than bid money, people bid volunteer hours. Winning bidders have one year to complete their pledge by volunteering with their various agencies within their respective city; once their pledge is fulfilled, they take home their artwork as a reminder of their goodwill.

If you're looking for more information, their website is quite informative: www.timeraiser.ca

ARTISTS! We're putting out a call for artists to submit! Applying is easy and free (see this FAQ for all questions). You simply upload 5 images of your art to their website, and then you'll get notified if your piece is chosen to be part.

You can apply directly from this link.

Good luck!

The piece turned out amazing, but don't believe us, check it for yourself!!

Band: Ten Second Epic
Project: Album Artwork, T-shirt Design
Designer: Rose Broadbent

The dudes from Ten Second Epic asked us to design their new album, 'Better Off'. The success of their international touring has brought Ten Second Epic to a level of professionalism and poise. This title symbolizes a confidence in changing thier sound to a more rock vibe.  They want to proclaim that is 'better off' to do what you love. It is 'better off' to keep making music. It is 'better off' to follow the road before you. We support this passion & want to wish them luck with this huge release!

Thanks to Black Box for this awesome opportunity, we look forward to working with you in the future!

TSE t-shirts designed by The New BEAT coming soon!

My older brother Tom Watson (and his business partner Adam) somehow stumbled into owning an antique shop....and it's sick! I went there a few weeks ago to check out the new inventory and I saw at least 5 nostalgic 'things' from every single year of my life. I made a vow to purchase one G.I. Joe each time I visit until I've re-built my collection.

We just finished his website (AntiqueAvenue.ca) and we're stoked to present it along with his new branding. The shop is located on Ottawa St N in Hamilton, Ontario. The street is famous for having Antique Shops, so you're best bet is to make a day of checking them all out. While you're already heading that direction, why not keep going to Beamsillve to check out our friends at Rosewood Estates Winery too? :)

Anyway, check the site, we're stoked and the shop is the best.

Best,
Geoff

So there's a tall guy who walks around our studio who kinda looks like me (Geoff) except he's got a sweet beard and funny dutch accent. His name's Lodewijk Vos and he's dope at a lot of things but for now I'll just comment on his sweet sound design. Lo, you're awesome at sound design! (PS - we call him Lo [like low])

He's also just started a company specifically for his Audio Post Production and what better a name then "TRASH & NO STAR". Not to worry - we made sure the logo had at least 2 stars.

Full website will be coming in the future, and we'll be sure to blog about that too.

Hannah continues to impress us all here at The New BEAT, and we're proud to have been a part of her video.
