NEW LOOK is a collaborative studio based in Vancouver, Canada obsessed with paper, garbage and Gaia. We work in collage, painting, writing, graphic design and sculpture with a practice rooted in print, paper and nature.
Our annual art project is the production of a large format calendar which contains a unique, poster-sized design for each month.

Calendar Project
The idea originated from the need to have a calendar that you can actually write on.
Over the years it’s transformed into something that has connected us to our community and made us many new friends. It’s been an invaluable avenue for us both to explore our surroundings; newly found materials and new ideas sprouting in our minds.
We challenge ourselves each year to find a new way of doing it, a new way of seeing it, and a new look for every year.
Past editions have included moon phases and word art such as fun facts, original and adapted writings, divination, and poetry.
Large-format posters, surprise mini-posters, and envelopes to house your yearly intentions are just a few of the calendar bonuses we have included over the years.

We begin the project by producing a series of works guided by new themes and questions. Using recycled and natural materials we make collages, paintings, scans and photographs which we put through many layers of tactile and digital transformation. Each month has a unique design paired with a minimal typography that changes every year.

We can see the perfect, divine geometry of nature, our everything!
Turbulence, spirals, explosions, meandering, branching, shrinking, bubbles, 15 generations of triangles (!!!), stress & flow, and finally, the vortex.
Through pressure, force and expansion these patterns form and fracture.

2023 Calendar Project
Beyond the body, the edge meets the fuzz—the particle meets the wave—the ray meets the abyss.
The look is radial,
the process is osmosis.
Coming into focus, the one-hearted way takes root.

2022 Calendar Project
Hello from 2022—we have gone through the final portal. Welcome to the other side: a world that can be found when you take a close look. Past the gates of the cell and into the micro cosmos, we feel the rewards of looking deeper into the natural world.
Looking for the big in the small and the small in the big; life in the living library is sublime.
