I've loved The Great Discontent and have read almost every interview that they churn out. It amazes me how Tina and Ryan do all of this. They've been releasing an interview every week since 2011 and they do this because they admire these people and because these stories inspire so many of us. But it's a lot of work to do for a side project. This week they've taken the leap and are dedicating their time to TGD full time. I think the community is happy to support them. I know I am and I wish them well. Check out their kickstarter campaign and if you love TGD as much as I do, consider supporting them. Also, follow Ryan as he documents their journey here.

I love swissmiss' (Tina Roth Eisenberg) friday link pack posts and every now and then I'll check in and see what's she's got in store. This post is inspired by her link pack as it helps me share what I've found this week and keep a record of all these great links, projects, resources, etc. for later reference. If you've never checked out www.swiss-miss.com, check it out. Now. Go.

I went to a talk earlier this week at OCADU and was introduced to Jaymie McAmmond's work. I've actually seen her work but didn't know much about her. How have I not known about this local Toronto talent? I have no idea. But if you don't know, now you know. Here's some of her illustration work:

If you're looking into using SVG graphics for your site–really great for responsive sites and scaling simple graphics–Daniel Mall's post on how to create SVG graphics will help you. Also helpful is Chris Coyier's post on how to use SVG.

I've recently discovered Type Camp. Where have I been? I dunno, but I was ecstatic to find it! I've been looking for ways to learn more about typography and lettering and this is one fantastic way to learn from some incredible people, in a fun setting, with like minded people. It's also in Toronto. I've found it difficult to find opportunities to learn about type in Toronto, but if you dig, you'll find it! I'm signed up for the Toronto single day camp in April. They're offering the camp on two days and I'm signed up for Friday April 25th. If you're interested sign up soon to get the early bird pricing–hope to see you there!
