  • Blake was an absolute delight to work with. The artwork we supplied wasn’t quite right for silkscreen and they helped us adjust the art and was happy to go back and forth with proofs until we were so happy with the final product! They made us feel comfortable to give feedback and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Will definitely be using Cinic Studio again!

ARC’TERYX

In August 2021, CINIC Studio had the opportunity to silkscreen two original designs on two different sized totes (made by The Market Bags) in store at Arc'Teryx in Chinook Centre in Calgary, AB. This event was during pride month and highlighted Blake McLeod as a Indigiqueer artist. Proceeds from tote bag sales went to Skipping Stone Foundation 

Pictured above is the design created by CINIC Studio for the large tote. to the left is a video created by Adam Steel Creative.
