Cameron Reed
I'm 29-years old and live in Vancouver, BC.
I'm the Digital Strategist at TruthFool Communications, providing unique, full-scale creative & strategic services for social change. I've worked with such clients as Greenpeace, Vision Vancouver, the Canadian Tourism Commission, and Knorr.
I'm a musician with two EPs on Warp Records.
I'm the Festival Director of an independent, week-long cultural festival and a day-long annual outdoor concert.
I'm the co-Executive Producer of a Leo Award-nominated comedy web-series & compilation album.
I co-founded a website that highlights some of the more egregious shit our Prime Minister has done.
I helped produce, write, and act in a short comedy series for CTV's 2011 election coverage.
I hold a Bachelor of Communication from Simon Fraser University. Whatever.
I'm balding and consequently own a couple hats.

The expansive diplomatic operation and the $750 million embassy building, the largest of its kind in the world, were billed as necessary to nurture a postwar Iraq on its shaky path to democracy and establish normal relations between two countries linked by blood and mutual suspicion. But the Americans have been frustrated by what they see as Iraqi obstructionism and are now largely confined to the embassy because of security concerns, unable to interact enough with ordinary Iraqis to justify the $6 billion annual price tag.

WE TRIPPY MANE! Cherchez La Femme and I are playing the Hideaway at The Waldorf Hotel this Saturday. No need for wristbands the owner know who I am.
Meet the fabulously dysfunctional Gallagher family. Dad’s a drunk, Mom split long ago, eldest daughter Fiona tries to hold the family together. Eldest son Philip (Lip) trades his physics tutoring skills for sexual favors from neighborhood girls. Middle son Ian is gay. Youngest daughter Debbie is stealing money from her UNICEF collection. Ten-year-old Carl is a budding sociopath and an arsonist, and toddler Liam is - well, he might actually be black, but nobody has a clue how. Written by Showtime Publicity
Shameless (TV Series 2011– ) - IMDb
So let’s recap. This is a “dysfunctional family” with a variety of serious issues. As Showtime Publicity points out, these problems include:
- alcoholism
- promiscuity (verging on prostitution?)
- kleptomania
- sociopathy
- arson
- being gay
- being black
Very cool show. Nothing offensive about that.
A first: The idea for this week’s cover, “Loading…”, came from one of our readers, Brett Culbert, a thirty-year-old landscape historian. Culbert’s original image, a blurred Eustace with a loading icon in place of the butterfly, is one of the twelve Eustace Tilley Contest winners for 2012. His idea was modified into the final cover design. Although the winning entries have been showcased in the magazine before, this marks the first time that a reader’s submission inspired the cover.
The other 2012 contest winners include Cristian Gomez, an art director who put Eustace in a window in the Chrysler building. Next, we have five-time finalist Gary Amaro; his entry this year riffs on Picasso. David Urban imagines a Eustace with white earbud headphones. A California-based graphic designer, Ray Dougela, has Eustace coping with the economic situation. Kevin Scalzo reinvents Nancy and Sluggo. Alma Mitchell was born in Miles City, Montana and is ninety-nine years old. Here is her Eustace. View a slideshow of all of the 2012 winners.
Love this.
