For the last few weeks and up until the middle of April I’ve been working as a sessional instructor at The Ontario College of Art and Design , where I’ve  teaching a class called New Directions in Pictorial Design. It is a mixed class of illustration and design students that focuses on creating and applying hand-rendered type and images.

My friends at Grand Creative and I came up with a website www.paperbeatsinternet.com that is a analog social networking site that is somewhere between a Twitter feed and passing notes in class.  All posts have to include hand-rendered text and images and have to be phrased in a way that leaves them open to being responded to by entries by other student or guest contributors like Istvan Banyai, Leif Parsons and Emily Flake.
