It&#8217;s so far back now it is outside of my old harddrives, languishing in somewhere back on my old spindles of cd&#8217;s from a time when my design was just beginning. I met Sandra Karpetas, the organizer of Earthdance Vancouver 1997-2000, before I even had really cruised the modern internet. She was an inspirational being, encouraging me to get involved in the dance music community beyond my interests as a partier and dj, which really jumpstarted my interest in graphics. It was through Earthdance that I clued in to how large the global dance electronic dance music culture was.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was immediately enamoured with the whole system concept of Earthdance, a party for peace which was simultaneously held in a number of places around the globe. Sandra was making sure that this even was way ahead of its time by assuring a live internet streaming feed which showed what was happening across the world as well as broadcasting a live feed from the location. At that time BC was an internet TV station hub, with a number of experts in the file living close by. We used the Stanley park Malkon Bowl as the venue and we had a regular roster of oldschool favourites as well as a daytime slot from one of the founding members of Banco De Gaia. It was a pretty epic day and my first real graphic design experience where i saw fliers and posters and my own design at the event. It was a pivotal moment for me.<\/p>\n<p>Here it is 2011 and I have the chance, once again to be graphically involved in this incredibly visionary event. This time, taking place on Vancouver Island, sponsored by an eco-village, supported by some of my favourite west coast scene creators, as well as DJ&#8217;d by west coast legends, the event is shaping up amazingly. I used some of the legacy design components from Kristin Grant, and the logo from earthdance central, but spun some onbeyond threads back into it all.
