Hello friends! I am thrilled to be appointed as an auxiliary instructor in the IDEA Department of the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts. My first class starts tomorrow and I’m extremely excited to teach something I am truly passionate about, mural illustration. For the past 4 years my little Chairman Ting studio has been taking in practicum students from Capilano University’s IDEA program. Every single student that I have brought on board has blown me away by their talent and energy and in addition, I’ve also been sitting on the Capilano University’s program advisory committee. So it’s of no surprise that I love teaching. I am constantly learning and even inspired by students I mentor. It’s a two way street. As a father and an industry professional for over 20 years from advertising art direction to starting my own art and design studio, I strive to continue mentoring and inspiring the next generation of creative professionals. It truly brings me great joy to see young artists and designers blossom by finding their professional and life purpose. Mentoring and taking on practicum students has always been a way for me to pay forward. When I was a young art director working in Toronto, I had the good fortune of having an amazing mentor who helped shape the person I am today. That mentor is Glen Hunt. An advertising industry legend! The man behind the famous ‘I Am Canadian Rant’ commercial and many more. I start tomorrow and will be teaching mural illustration for only 4 full classes. It’s something new and exciting that I am very excited about. See you kids bright and early tomorrow at 830am.

WIZE x Billion Buns Sparkling Mango ✨🥭🐰 We're still buzzing with excitement about our partnership with Wize Tea and our Billion Buns universe. Had a blast catching up with the founders, Max and Arnaud in Toronto in front of our Billion Buns mural on Ossington Ave. It feels surreal to have both the tangible Billion Buns wize tea beverage and the mural together knowing it all came from our NFT drop back in January with the folks at @lastknownmarket Limited supply of only 150 cases. Get them while you still can through Wize Tea: https://ca.drinkwize.com/ Info about the collab: @drinkwize X @billion_buns Sparkling Mango ONLY 150 cases available Chairman Ting is an artist and muralist based in Vancouver. He's a big fan of our Sparkling Mango, so this summer he approached us with an idea for a collaborative limited edition of his favourite Wize Iced Tea. Chairman Ting created the Billion Buns, a collection of characters with unique backstories that live on Planet Bananas. Each design is an NFT, including the two new custom Buns on the front of this can. There are only 2,000 cans from this one-off limited edition. Check out the whole collection at BillionBuns.com Ingredients: carbonated water, real brewed arabica coffee leaves, cane sugar, lemon juice, natural mango flavour. #chairmanTing #WizeTea #billionBuns #Art #partnership #illustration #icetea

We wrapped up our giant 65' x 35' mural on @west_queen_west right across from the @thedrakehotel in Toronto last Tuesday but before we share the final mural, here are a few fun behind the scenes shots by our talented friend @dannyyuphotography We enjoyed every single second painting this beautiful location. Big ups to @mr_tensoe2 for being the best production assistant! 🙌💪✨ #mural #chairmanTing #toronto #queenwest #6ix #bts #progress #art #tdot #drakehotel

This one is for our @billion_buns fam. A quick one in an alley on Queen West after finishing up our giant mural (client to disclose later) around the corner as a double celebratory piece as we also revealed our Space Buns NFT on the same day. Left this guy in the alley behind our scissor lift for lunch and found out @conceptualhustle pickled it up within 2 hours? Couldn't be happier to see this guy go to a Billion Buns holders home. Have a great weekend everyone! #BillionBuns #art #spraypaint #toronto #the6ix #tdot #queenwest
