Date: 1970s
I met this man and interviewed him in Vancouver about 15 years ago. He was a full time disco ball maker in the 1970′s. He went across Canada in his van supplying the disco needs of communities with his patented machine that carved the foam balls right from the back of his van. At least this is what he told me. What a guy, what a poster. Does anyone know where he is? Please let me know!

This is a classic Saskatchewan dish (a place that used to struggle to get fresh seafood or vegetables in winter), canned green beans, Kraft dinner and hot dogs cut into squid shapes. Gross now, but as kids we loved it.

Since 1962, The D&AD organization has been a global leader in awards for design in advertising, and gives out awards that are symbols of creative achievement. The pencil-shaped awards are the Oscars of the advertising community.
Taxi Canada was brought in to help promote the event and created a number of outputs to do just that. Part of a campaign was this 300-pound crocheted pencil shaped installation that was draped over a water tower at 395 Broadway in New York City. Drawing attention for the three days that it stood, the work reminds us that great messaging rarely occurs on a billboard.
