Take what is true 
and turn it up.

Hemlock Printers have been a respected institution of Vancouver's print production industry since 1968, and every year they release holiday wrapping paper designed by a local agency. For the 2018 edition, we created Hemmy, the Canada Goose with a bad attitude, who travels across the country in search of colour. Part Dr. Seuss spoof, part love letter to the Pacific Northwest, and part showcase for Hemlock's impressive new binder, Hemmy's tale was a festive success.
