A long walk down back alleys on a sunny day, a found treasure most would consider trash, and something silly that makes me crack a smile nevertheless. These are the things that ground me and excite me about day to day life, and what I attempt to capture in the artwork I make: presenting themselves as bizzaro wayfinding signage for the back alley of the mind. Humor, a glimpse into the history of space over time, and an introspective look into the process of life, are all aspects that characterize my work through the use of layering found material, uncomplicated imagery, and hand painted lettering onto and throughout each other, tied together with a thin string of narrative. Most often the artwork has a hand in creating itself as I take cues in theme and subject from the found materials themselves; building off of a combination of their colour, texture, original purpose, and the area in which they were found Recurring themes and imagery appear throughout each piece of artwork that give a sense of a continuation of the story. I am interested in ideas surrounding my experiences and those that can be characterized of the working class: monotony, the ebb and flow between comfort and struggle, definitions of success and individual purpose, and the effect that the passing of time has on all these concepts and the way they can be parallelled by the physical nature of found materials and the untold/disregarded history tied to them. - Evan Brien

The Words of Affirmation Show was an Alberta-based poster show featuring inspirational slogans. In a world often overwhelmed by negativity and the heaviness of the times we thought we would inject the community with the power of positive words to inspire and transform through spreading messages of encouragement and self-worth presented in partnership with Kaffee Klatsch.

Each carefully crafted poster combines captivating visuals with carefully chosen words, creating a space where viewers can find solace and rediscover their inner strength. This exhibition serves as a reminder that we are deserving of love, happiness, and fulfillment. We invite you to immerse yourself in this collection and let these words become beacons of light, guiding you towards a place of empowerment and gratitude!

Let these posters inspire conversations and acts of kindness, as we collectively create a world that celebrates and supports one another.

Thank you to all the artists participants:

Prints are available for purchase on our website here.

A lot is going on with the COVID-19 pandemic and it's highlighted stuff emotionally and politically in our province and around the world. In our attempt to have some fun, get closer and share our collective thoughts and feelings Burnt Toast created a window poster challenge and artists submitted designs of which the top five were voted to be silk-screened.

They can now be purchased and shared in your community in your windows and personal spaces. All proceeds are shared between the artists and studio to keep artists working and the doors of the studio open to our members.

A big shout out to all the artist that participated, we loved them all!

Congratulations to the finalists: Marrisa Bailowas - Love isn’t Cancelled, Nini Lee - Wash Your Hands You Filthy Animal, Ryan Kostel - Stay Home, Mike Hooves - Stay Home, Nasarimba - Put People First, Fund Public Service.
