Roy Was Here wants to thank everyone who came out to the DIY event. We specially want to thank the artists and designers, band and dj's, and of course our gracious host W2.
The artists selected for the DIY event were (in no particular order)
Reva Diana
Tony Insua
Caitlin Russell
Lydia Fu
Alexander Cho
Reva Diana
I’m not an artist. At least that is what I used to say. I was a graphic designer, a web geek or simply – a creative. An artist? No. Art is scary and only for the brave. But as time passed I found reasons to be brave. It feels good to be inspired and it feels damned good to paint. It’s been a long journey to this moment. So go ahead. Ask me if I’m an artist.
Reva Diana's design was made using the Woodward's Heritage Letterpress. She is also exhibiting the print at the Vancouver Museum. The print has gotten some press from the Georgia straight, click here.

It's been a while since we've posted anything mostly because we're really busy in the month of February do to the Uh-Oh-lympics.

It's SUNDAY!
The Roy Was Here team has been busy this weekend. We have printed three more designs and are looking to do some more shortly.
We have a lot of orders in February coinciding with the "O" word (Olympics that is) as well we are going to be doing some artistic collaborations and design.
Here are some photos from PUBLIC Launch Party at 112 W Hastings (W2 Perel Gallery) which was the launch of Kwan's online magazine called Public, and last but certainly not least of our other outing to 221A Pact: Even

On Saturday night we were invited to attend a Letter Press party that was put on by the new W2 project in the DTES. The night was overall, awesome.
We met with some friends working with the project who showed us how the letter presses worked and along with some beers and some good music we were able to use these wood blocks and take some paper to create anything with them. Once done we were able to show them on the wall of the venue. it was so packed with other people trying out the blocks that it was hard to find any letters to use, so we just made do with what was available.
Some of the Djs included:
The Funk Hunters
These guys were awesome, they had 4 turntables and a great sound. mash-ups of some old funk and great mixing.
M.C Thinktank
Again, great sound. You should check out his page!
This party was great. Here's some pictures!
