Mother's Day and graphic design in Markham, Ontario
In April, I profiled software-designer-turned-artist Alex Hsu for the Markham Review after his artwork won the
New Yorker annual cover art contest; profile appears
here:
Hsu’s
“Eustace Tilley in Gangnam Style” features Tilley dancing the Gangnam Style
dance with King Kong and the Statue of Liberty. “Coded Age” is closer to the
classic New Yorker cover, but Tilley’s hat and shirt are patterned with a bar
code, the butterfly is replaced with a QR code, and Tilley himself is holding
what appears to be a smartphone.
For Mother's Day, I wrote about fun things to do in and around Markham,
here.
