A tight little team of a half-dozen En Massers was assembled for two late-nite sessions at the chic but friendly Petit Hôtel in Old Montreal, just a few blocks from Galerie Pangée, where En Masse was born. Operating under the rubric of “joie de vivre” and contending with a few odd and hard-to-reach corners, the team livened up the walls and ewntryway of the hotel’s charming little café.

Located in the heart of the historic District, it is surrounded by picturesque streets, art galleries, boutiques and cafés, and housed in a 19th century building.
drawing yoga...good for the back (or not)...an awkward space, but the impact on the space is amazing!
the coffee is good...if in the area, don't hesitate to drop in and refresh, basking in the black and white illuminations!
This beautiful little project was commissioned by Jean-Aymeri de Magistris, acting on behalf of the hotel. Jean-Aymeri is a local creative multidisciplinary designer, marketing strategist, and blogger master-mind behind Montreal State of Mind and Arts and Design Montreal, two highly bookmarkable sites…check em out!

Finished up the final touches on the INCREDIBLE piece at Headquarters Gallery on Friday evening, celebrating the accomplishment with a hot and sweaty party.
From Tyson’s blog…
“The Dice show will be a unique experience for the viewer and the participants as the show will literally evolve and shift throughout the month. Teaming up with local design mega-stars, Furni, the main piece consist of forty-five 2′ x 2′ panels mounted on the wall. There will be 3 evening sessions throughout May (the 6th. 13th & 20th), which everyone is invited to drop by, say hello and watch as the piece grows. At the end of each session, dice will be rolled and the results dictate the placement of the panels, mixing up the the work and morphing the overall piece into something new each week.”
We teamed up with Blank apparel & Moniker to create a series of one of a kind t-shirts that will also be available at HQ for the coming months. These shirts are incredible, though sadly, I’ve not yet got any good quality pictures of these to show off, yet. Soon…I promise.
