Once again, the Gladstone Hotel played host to the Bepo + Mimi Project’s third show.  This time the theme challenged 15 illustrators from Canada and the United States to take a look at the other end of the time shift.  As the clocks moved forward an hour, the show provided a unique take on the First Sign of Spring.  Each piece was printed on signage substrate and mounted as a street sign.  Following the show, the images were featured on pixel boards in Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto, courtesy of the Outdoor Broadcast Network.
