a message from the host of Salvation From Sin

The relationship between CJLO & Salvation From Sin is coming to an amicable end, although SFS will continue running elsewhere. The final show #187 will air on Friday October 4, 2013 on Montreal's CJLO 1690 (www.cjlo.com for a LIVE stream). This special closing show will be a marathon, extended version, from the usual starting time at midnight until 8:30am. That's right: 8.5 hours of non-stop mixing. I will provide for you, my faithful listener, an epic mix. Tune in for one last time on CJLO! 

We hope you will tune in to this final marathon episode, either via radio or (for an FM-style feed) directly online at http://www.cjlo.com/cjlo.m3u

warmly,

Michael from Salvation From Sin

Through the past couple of years, I've had the pleaure of meeting some inspiring creative people that I almost instantly click with. Paloma Dawkins is a bright, positive bouncing ball of a human being. She agreed to speak with me about her current projects and interests.

So, as an artist do you need a particular space to focus in on your ideas and start working?

Yup! I work at a space with a bunch of comic book artists most of the time but right now I am lucky enough to have a second work space just for animation at the NFB. It’s a psychological thing, I find I am more effective. I like to have a separate space for everything, like my bedroom has no computer because it’s just for sleep and whatever else (meditation, magic, etc).

How did you land a space at the NFB?

I applied for a yearly competition at the NFB made for Canadian auteur animators called Hothouse. I get to make a film using all their knowledge and equipment. Its actually a rare sort of program, it feels as if the entire film board is rooting me on. I don't know any where else I could get that sort of thing.

Is the film finished?

Not yet! December 2nd they say, I just started actually. Its gonna be good, though

What is the premise of your project?

It’s an animated exploration of movement, geometry and patterns found in nature. But I come from a cartoon background so it’ll be more of a fast paced colourful explosion of mother nature’s primordial soup! But it has a hidden structure and meaning which I hope people will be able to decipher.

Tell me more about your animations/ illustrations in the past few years.

Well I’ve been doing comics, illustrations and printmaking a lot in the past. I love doing zines and even bought a Risograph printer which I just haven’t given enough attention to because I got distracted by animation. I got into contact with Epic Meal Time and was going to animate their podcasts, but that didn’t pan out for whatever reason. Indigestion maybe. Instead, I got a small gig working with Deadmau5 and Imogen heap on a music video. It was really fun. I didn’t get a chance to study animation in school, so I pretty much force myself to rely on intuition to get around any issues. While I’m at the NFB I want to experiment a little, maybe do a little 3D. You know, take advantage.

Have you done any collaboration or work with/for Montreal based artists, or is your focus outside of the city? Why did you choose to live here?

I find this is a sweet city for cartooning, and the collision of languages is sort of fun to be in the middle of. I think that’s why I chose here, cheap rent to boot. Since being here I’d fallen in love with the music scene and I like to do posters and album covers for my musician friends. Like you, I think I did two Archery Guild posters. But my main plug would be for the internet. Collective consciousness and stuff.
