En Masse @ Ottawa Animation Fest
(click to enlarge)
En Masse was in Ottawa over the weekend for this mural commissioned by the Ottawa International Animation Festival.
“Under the direction of Jason Botkin and Rupert Bottenberg, EN MASSE is an ongoing series of artistic conversations of a sort, a non-linear dialog connecting many artists through the creation of large-scale collaborative black and white murals. The shape and character of each specific EN MASSE event is defined by those creators who take part in the project, and the energies they individually and collectively bring to the mix. EN MASSE brings together emerging artists drawn from the diverse fields of the ‘high’ and ‘low’ brow arts, the latter including graffiti, alternative comics, and illustration.
“The EN MASSE mandate is twofold; firstly, to increase the visibility of new young artists, both collectively and as individuals, and secondly, to foster community-oriented art events and programming, built upon a specific form of collaborative interaction and immersion between the chosen artists. Our events are greatly enhanced through partnerships with a wide range of arts/educational organizations, such as Art Pop Montreal, EMSB (English Montreal School Board), various galleries, and of course, the public.” (EN MASSE Facebook)
Here’s an interview En Masse’s Dale Hayward recently gave to Xpress.
Of note: En Masse also documented the creation of the mural for the festival.

Director Paul Laberge Animates This Playful Clip For Bimixs
This clip’s aim was to detail how easy to use this new email organizer from Bimixs is.
The idea of the software is to get rid of the chaos everybody has in their inbox.
Target groups are SMEs or project teams, which send thousands of emails and documents back and forth.
It’s tedious inbox organization made easy.
And Paul put his pencil to work to illustrate it all…
Woolf + Lapin Back from Successful TIFF
W+L is back from TIFF with a couple projects. We’ll let you know about them as they progress.
One sour note was the cancelled screening of Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s Headshot of September 12, which we did not get to see due to some technical problems.
We were able to talk to him. “We had this problem since our first public screening in Scotiabank 2. The picture was way too dark.” But the press and industry screening the following day was okay. “It was not too dark,” Pen-Ek says.
There have been a number of disruptions caused by digital issues at Scotiabank screenings such as for Fox Searchlight’s The Descendants.
Out of the three hundred or so screenings this is bound to happen.
A great festival all around. Thanks TIFF!
