Heads Up.

March 10, 2009

Couple quick things to look out for.
1. The Best of Stash 2008.
If a subscription is too pricey do yourself a favour and get the best of the whole year wrapped up into one little dvd.

2. SXSW ‘09
If you’re there go see the above video on the big screen. Everything is bigger/better in Texas. We really want to go this year!!!! But we’ll have to wait and see if the all mighty dollar will allow it. official_selection_sxsw09_250x2001

Minnesota Millionaire Raffle spot we did last summer. Finally got around to putting this puppy up. Be sure to hit the HD button and watch it like a big boy.

Stumbled upon this last night. Don’t think I’ll ever recover. The DVD features artwork by James Braithwaite. But the movie is sublime. The only drawback is the dvd doesn’t feature this trailer. Ahh Poop.

Awesome!

January 14, 2009

This is incredibly late news for those reading, but I’ve been away from the net for some time, and just read this myself.

Time has a nice write up by Richard Corliss.

Odetta : Soul Stirrer, 1930-2008

Here’s a nice track from the 7″ pictured below.

Elections Canada

October 8, 2008

Hey Everyone!

These are three spots that were commisioned by Elections Canada for the 40th General Election.

I’m not a big fan of the music in them. But I thought they turned out half decent. We made them two years ago, but weren’t allowed to show them until an election was called, and seeing as there’s an election in about five days, now’s a good time as any to post’em.

So check’em out, then send to your friends and go vote.

Strips

September 17, 2008

Found another great online comic artist. Katie Beaton. There’s also a great “radio” interview, or “podcast” with her over at InkStuds. Pretty great stuff, especially the “Conversations With A Younger Self”. Maybe it’s the fact that she’s from Cape Breton as well, maybe it’s the great line work, maybe it’s the impressive and consistent output, maybe it’s the historical mixed with the wit…. … … Either way, it’s all good stuff.

But what of FH these days?

Well we’re cookin’ up somethin’ extra special which will be out in November…. I know, I know we said September two posts ago….but we’re puttin’ in the overtime, and have turned our caps backwards…”Over The Top” style, so you know it’s gonna get with the gettin’ good. We think you’ll like it…. hopefully. I know we’re super excited about it. I’ll post an image very soon.

Later kids.
