This was the most fun I’ve ever had.

Well, those of you who know me will know that I am an avid collector of Team Macho – often known for chanting “Team Macho! ” and excited fast talking at openings yelling things like “I want that!” at every piece.

Well on September 19th Team Macho opens their show – Long Time Listener, First Time Caller at GRNY running until October 14th.

If you’re in NY stop in to see it.

Go TM!

Team Macho are available for Digital Work through Lunch/Narhwal

The next Inter-action will be hosted by our friends at sociMedia. www.socimedia.com
@ 569 King Street West, Toronto – 6-8pm

Other speakers to be announced, but at least this will put it in your calendars.

See you there!

Lunch / Tool of North America Director Jason Zada completed a wicked video for Wallpaper that he’d love for you to vote as Favorite Freshmen video on MTV U

Watch it, you’ll like it. Promise.

He also is the man behind Elf Yourself. You liked that too.

To say that we’re excited about this is an understatement, in addition to amazing interactive directors like Jason Zada, Grant Skinner, Geordie Stephens and everyone else on Tool’s stellar roster – Carlos Ulloa has joined the team. Welcome Carlos!

Carlos is perhaps best known for his creation and launch of Papervision3D. Yup. Awesome. – Coming soon is Carlos’ Reel.
Tool of North America’s Carlos Ulloa is one of the industry’s leading Flash developers, a regular presenter at industry events and an active member of the Flash OS community.   His Flash work focuses on fields of graphic and typographic effects, motion design, and interactivity, all with a focus on 3D.

Ulloa’s signature work is the creation and launch of the revolutionary open source project Papervision3D, a real-time Flash 3D engine.  Since the program’s debut, it has vaulted into the mainstream and became central to prominent campaigns for Sony Bravia, Renault, Absolut, Red Bull, and Nike.

Due to his expertise in every aspect of Flash, Ulloa has spoken or run training courses on Papervision3D and other subjects at many of the industry’s leading conferences, including CaT, TED, FITC, Adobe MAX, Flash on the Beach, MadinSpain, Flashforward, and the Web Flash Festival.

Ulloa’s groundbreaking work on both Papervision3D and individual campaigns has earned countless recognitions, including a spot on Creativity Magazine’s 2009 Creativity 50 list; first place at the 18th Flash Forward Film Festival, Site Of The Day at FWA, and a nomination for a Cannes Cyber Lion for the In An ABSOLUT World campaign; a Silver Pencil at the 2008 One Show Interactive Awards, and recognitions at the Webby Awards, FITCs, FWAs, and D&ADs, along with a nomination for a Cannes Cyber Lion, for Sony BRAVIA; and, for his work on Papervision 3D, .net Magazine Awards 2008 Innovation of the Year, winner in the 3D category at the 17th Flash Forward Film Festival, and a People’s Choice Award at the 2007 FITC Awards.

As an interactive director, Carlos is poised to bring his unique creative and technical background to develop innovative advertising campaigns.
Interested in doing some work with Carlos? or any of the other Interactive Directors mentioned above – Call Lunch in Canada. Or Tool of North America in the USA

Watch out in the coming weeks for a special contribution to the Lunch Blog from Jason Zada himself.

So, sometimes when you see something, like Alex McLeod’s work, you want to touch it.

Alex graduated in 2007 from OCAD and began experimenting with 3D, his eye for design and lighting – and his fabulous, fantastic works – candy coated, but slightly macabre will make you want to dive in.

He’s been featured on the blog of Kanye West, netdiver, Juxtapoz – and countless others. He also just won a competition for the poster design for the Vancouver international film festival.

Alex is currently exhibiting at two galleries in Toronto – Angell Gallery on Queen St. West (August 8- 29 2009) and Lonsdale Gallery on Spadina (Opens August 12, 2009 – September 27 2009)

I’m thrilled to welcome Alex to the lunch network.

Alex is available for Collaboration and Illustration. For more information contact Amy [at] this is lunch.com
