Hello there. I’m Jeremy Elder. I’m an advertising copywriter in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m also an art geek and motion design junkie. shape+colour is beauty, art, words, movement, epic radness, and random awesomeness; it’s what I think about stuff I love and my way of sharing it with anyone else who might find it. It’s less like a broadcast, and more like a message in a bottle. Less like a proclamation, and more like a note tied to a helium balloon that says “if you find this, let me know.”
To me, the ultimate purpose of art is to let people know that they are not alone.
If you like me then I’d probably like you too. If you’re into what you see here, or think that we would get a long famously or could create something beautiful, email me anytime: shapeandcolour(at)gmail(dot)com or tweet me @shapeandcolour.
Other stuff I like includes: crayons, goldfish, wineglasses, mint, freshly mown grass, sunsets in other places, airplane food, Benadryl, Tori Amos, acrylic furniture, Helvetica, cupcakes, vodka, Pantone, Lite Brite, the sound of rain on mornings when you can sleep in, Tintin, pixels, that fresh from the dentist feeling, CMYK, noodles, balloons, high thread counts, Adidas Adicolor, trees, Scandinavia, cereal, Douglas Coupland, Super Mario 3, grey wool, tee shirts, little plastic castles, Skittles, rainforest showerheads, Astro Boy, fighting to have matching cover art for every track in my iTunes, piñatas, lucite, the periodic table, and your mom.







I lied. I WILL visit every day…almost. I’m addicted. If I may reference once of the classics…Dirty Dancing…
“Max, our Baby’s gonna
change the world.
- And what are you gonna do, Missy?
- Lisa’s gonna decorate it.”
I always thought Lisa had the right idea.
whatever
Ummm…really the only thing to say is brilliant – good light hearted fun at the expense of nothing except our ever so twisted current pop culture. Seriously….brilliant and I don’t like things much…..
i heart you and your blog a lot hotstuff.

Your “Myself” is one of the most entertaining, colorful and revealing profiles I have read in awhile. Or ever, maybe. I like how your brain works.

“fighting to have matching cover art for every single track in my iTunes”….HEY, THAT’S ME!!

But you didn’t answer the obvious questions, so I’ll give them to you:
1. Butts or Boobs?
2. Bettie page or Kate Moss?
3. in public or behind closed doors?
Seriously though, you’re kind of funny and sarcastic, its nice.

Okay weird.
So My friend and I were on the subway wednesday night, and she poked me, and said, “I think that’s the guy from shape+colour!”. I called her creepy, and we discussed it for awhile, concluded we weren’t sure, and then proceeded to complain about your lack of updates.
DID YOU HEAR US? Because like, 34394092 updates in the two days after the conversation is amazing.

My name is Johnny. I check out your blog all the time. I find it a great place to find inspiration for random creative projects that I do. Anyways I have a started to print t-shirts with an illustration I call Baracktopus. I could really use some exposure and it is for a good cause. Check it out : http://www.baracktopus.org.

Very cool blog, glad I found you!
Hi, I’m from Barcelona (Spain), I work as a screenwriter and director in a TV production company and I have to say that I’ve used your blog more than once for inspiration or as an escape excuse (it’s always interesting and relaxing to see nice things). I’ve been following your blog for a few years now (I’m not sure, I have a very bad sense of timing, but it feels like a long time, I don’t know), and I just wanted to say thank you for your work and for shearing all this great stuff with us.
