November marked the 14th consecutive sold out CreativeMornings/Vancouver event, this time featuring special guest Jeff Hamada from booooooom.com. Jeff spoke on talking dogs, teenage-glowstick-aliens, dead Nicholas Cage, in a talk that focused on assumptions, notions, and reality or lack thereof. CreativeMornings/Vancouver was honoured to partner with Mozilla to produce this FREE breakfast event with the support of ongoing co-hosts GDC/BC & W2 Media Café.
Jeff Hamada is a Japanese Canadian artist living and working in Vancouver. In 2008 he created Booooooom.com which has become one of the largest art blogs on the Internet. He has created things for Native Shoes, Converse, Oakley, Endeavor Snowboards, Electronic Arts, and Livestock. Jeff is often hailed as a Vancouverite, but he was actually born in Japan, moving here when he was young. And he’s never once been stung by a bee. Jeff’s hilarious pre-event interview is worth a read and can be found here.
The Vancouver chapter of CreativeMornings is run by Mark Busse and his dedicated team of volunteers. Thanks to Ryan Mah, Mahyar Saeedi, Jake Hermiston and Matthew Shettler for video production.
CreativeMornings/Vancouver is entirely produced by unpaid volunteers, including the video production which is done on borrowed equipment which have recently suffered some technical issues and they need your help to purchase a new camera and laptop. Click here to help.
We at CreativeMornings HQ are envious of this Friday’s CreativeMornings/Vancouver attendees who get to see Jeff Hamada in action.
