BrainBlots – The Intersection of Neuroscience and Digital Art
Since I bought my first Mac in 1993, all I ever wanted to do was make digital art. Long before there was ever even a market for it I was fascinated with how far digital art could go. At the NFT Goat Pop up digital art show here in Toronto, I found out just how far.
After venturing into the basement and down a small unassuming corridor, I met the BrainBlots Team. Yasmeen, Andrew and Ali are a trio of young, stylish U of T students with a diverse range of interests from art to neuroscience to philosophy and everything in between. Before I knew just what was happening, I was putting on an EEG headset and watching my thoughts come to life right before my eyes.
I was asked to focus on a thought or a person. I chose my wife NFT Nat, who happened to be with me. We both had digital and physical art pieces in the art show that night. But nothing like this. I simply cleared my mind and thought about her. And then magically a rorschach-like symmetrical interpretation of my brain was projected on the wall in front of me.

50 Years – 50 of my Favourite Things
Splitting a Hundred in Half.
To commemorate my 50th birthday, I have collected a few lists of 50 of my favourite things. Ever since I bought my first Mac in 1993, I have been creating digital art and designing for a galaxy of interesting people and brands. This stroll down memory lane has given me a chance to reflect on a very rewarding career.

Not everybody gets to do it”
50 Years – 50 Songs
Fifty Tracks that I like
When I turned 50, I started to get nostalgic. Listening to songs from my past and reminiscing about the “Good ‘Ol Days“. Much of my life is punctuated with music. Each of these tracks have been part of a soundtrack that has been on loop for as long as I can remember. Now, I realize that it is very difficult to narrow down this list to only 50, but I tried my best. I’m sure that there are many songs that could have easily made this post. Certain artists could have taken up several slots on their own. I attempted to keep it interesting and represent a wide range of taste – which is what I have.
Music means a great deal to me
Thank you to my friends who have helped me to shape my collection and to those who have introduced me to new music along the way. This list is for you. And to those who are hearing some of these songs for the very first time, I hope that you discover something new yourself.

20 of the Best Vector Art Posts of 2020
Looking back on a year like no other
Vectorvault was re-established this year with a new look and new enthusiasm for vector art. If you are familiar with the benefits of vector design, then you already know it touches everything from animation, typesetting, packaging, graphic design and beyond.
We knew this back in 2005 when we started this project. Our self-imposed mission has always been to find the very best examples of vector art and catalogue it. But more importantly to showcase the creative people behind the work.
