“Novelty sugar lights my brain up in a way that adult things like homeownership and parenthood probably should at this stage in my life, but here we are.”
Read @redpeacoat’s short (and sweet!) take on the magic of snacks:

ROAMING is one of @thewalrus's best books of fall!

I’m Meredith (@redpeacoat), the senior designer at The Walrus. Here’s how I made the art for @SarahLawrynuik’s story on Ukraine’s cultural revolution and what it means to me.

Calling all illustrators, graphic designers, gig poster makers, visual artists and the like. Today is the application deadline to potentially design our #Polaris2023 Short List posters. Spread the word.

This piece was in the works for years and we had Kenya-Jade in mind for it since the beginning. A great portrait takes creativity and thoughtfulness and KJ captured Tamara beautifully.
Thank you for doing this story justice!
Last spring, @redpeacoat emailed me about an assignment for @thewalrus about Tamara Thermitus' experience leading Quebec's human rights commission and finding herself fighting its own systemic racism.
It would be a whole year before I would jump on that first phone call... 🧵
This comic by @jandrewdyck really hits home for me as a former Winnipegger. The hill between my old junior high and high school is made of garbage. I still don't quite believe that hills can be natural and just made of dirt. thewalrus.ca/winnipeg-garbag…
During cross-country practice in high school, we had to run up the steep side of the hill, Rocky style.
Congrats to this year's Sheridan Illustration grads! Always happy to see the sheer talent coming out of that program @realSheridanIll sheridanillustration.com/

Absolutely love this Walrus piece about the Polaris Posters. We're unveiling the #Polaris2021 posters on Friday afternoon. Stay tuned.

For the November 2021 issue of @thewalrus, and posted online now, I wrote about the @PolarisPrize poster series thewalrus.ca/polaris-prize-a…
I first pitched this in Feb'20, not because I wanted to be the writer but because I wanted to do the layout. This piece is the focal point of so many of my interests -Polaris, art direction, screen printing- so I decided to do it. It took a year to work up the courage to start.
Thank you to my editor @hamutaldotan for all of your support and everyone who spoke to me about the process! I am so grateful for your help.
Remember when we could travel, hang out in groups, and drink mulled wine that wasn't simmered on our own stoves? Couldn't do any of that in 2020, so let's rate some 2019 Christmas market mugs instead!
