Contagion - Bacteria Billboard
Warner Bros. Pictures Canada recently created an outdoor installation that combined science and advertising.
Microbiologists and immunologists across the globe came together to create a one of a kind bacteria message board in an abandoned store-front window at 409 Queen Street West. On August 28th, two large petri dishes were injected with various forms of live bacteria and overnight revealed a visually creative analysis on how a virus can spread.
The message board is in support of Steven Soderbergh's latest film "Contagion" which premiered in theatres September 9th.
Congrats to Warner Bros. Pictures Canada and the Lowe Roche team on a fantastic collaboration!

World Record South Pole Expedition 2011
What is the "World Record South Pole Expedition" you ask?
This December a three man team will take a journey in the revolutionary Thomson Reuters Polar Vehicle with the goal of beating the Guiness World Record of 2 days, 21 hours and 21 minutes to become the fastest overland journey to the South Pole. This will mark the 100 year anniversary of the first successful attempt of Norwegian explorer Ronald Amundsen.
The Thomson Reuters Polar Vehicle is a specially-built bio-fuelled vehicle that uses half the fuel of similar vehicles. The use of solar panels will reduce the carbon footprint further with the very latest in real-time GPS Satellite communications and tracking.
One lucky winner has the chance to take part in an overland race to the South Pole based on a submission detailing what customers wanted to see more of and less of in the new financial era. 4,300 entries we received, Jason Thomas, became the third member of a three-man team of polar explorers with his "More Access. Less Excess" contest entry.
Congrats Jason! We wish you all the best for a safe and exciting adventure.

Glen and Danielle - Groomsmen Speech
So our good friends Glen D'Souza & Danielle Tsisko decided to get hitched!
Drew got a call from Jeff MacEachern over at Taxi2 asking us to be part of a special project. We were delighted when he noted that they were re-writing the lyrics to Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" and wanted to come into our studio to re-record it. The evening was of epic proportions and we had such a blast recording all the groomsmen.
Big shout outs to the talent groomsmen who busted it out with so much enthusiasm and energy; M.C Gerson, D.J. Johnny Jung, Mix Master MacEachern, Geoff Donovan aka "Da Hype -Man", our skilled engineer Dave Clarke & Tyson Kuteyi for his exceptional track direction.
You can check out the video here.
Congratulations you two! We wish you nothing but the best and a lifetime of happiness.
Love, from all of us here at Tattoo.
