2 years
ArtistTree was my first design
company - started with Dave Tottie ( 50%
partner) in the Beaches - again at
Neville and Queen ( like first VDR ).
Our clients at this time were Sony
Music, The Toronto Humane Society (
Animal Talk Magazine) Exposure Magazine
covers, Ray Wallani ( I met iDirect
later through Ray).
 We also had a sign department in the
basement with a plotter etc. For those
who remember when the Tiger Cats were
out of cash and about to fold ( aren't
they always?) we came up with the "Keep
The Drive Alive" campaign to raise money
and boost ticket sales. Eventually -
this lead to us working with the team to
launch "The Roar" magazine.
The
Roar lasted aprox 4 or 5 issues. We
opened a second office in Hamilton and
staffed up to about 10 people in total.
All this was taking place right around
the time when the Internet was just
taking off. I later left the company -
moved into my friend Norm's space and
started working on what would become Graphicjam Digital Arts.

5 years
Graphicjam
started in Norm's shop - Creative
Reproductions. It was here I first met
Rick and Petros, who actually worked for
Norm before they worked for me. ( It's a
long story.. ; ) Also at this time, I
met the guys from Internet Direct, John,
Colin and Ross - who had a fast growing
ISP with almost 10 thousand users.
Graphicjam would go on to do all Idirect
design and web work till their merger
with Look and after. The company now has
upwards of 250,000 users. After Norms
we moved to a warehouse on Dundas and
hired 2 employees. We then moved to 21
Carlaw.
Tory and I lived upstairs and we also
hired Jackie. During this period, we
did work for Nelvana ( First website)
TUCOWS ( all brands, web design and
print materials for 4 years ) Smirnoff,
BMG Music Canada and more. I invited
Ben from Edge Interactive to take an
office and also offered an office to the
guys at iRover. Graphicjam went on to
merge with iRover - a company owned by
Scott Waddell and Eddie Chu and has
since also merged with Edge Interactive,
a high profile Toronto marketing
company.
