🎵 IT’S SO HAAARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY 🎶

This marks our final week in the old studio homestead. There are a lot of memories here that chronicle the metamorphosis of our collective over the last 16 years. RAID had it’s humble beginnings in unit 403 of 533 College Street in Toronto’s Little Italy in 2002. We had a big move once before but it was in the same familiar building, down a floor to unit 304, and so only nominal changes in day to day operation occurred. The most predominant was happily only having to hike up one less floor whenever the elevator broke.
This next stage is definitely bigger with an intoxicating mix of fear and excitement! We’re moving across the city, to a building three times the size of our last one, and to boot, we’re going to be street level allowing us to interact with the community in a way we never have before. We're starting a whole new journey and are beyond excited with what opportunities and challenges await us in the prospective years to come.

Another peek into RAID TWO with a look at some of Willow Dawson’s concept art for LITTLE SISTER LITTLE BROTHER an adaptation of a classic fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. Willow was a long time member of RAID and left when motherhood and family became her praimary focus and we’re excited to have her rejoin us if only in our anthology! Check out Willow’s newly released book WHITE AS MILK RED AS BLOOD which we’ll chat with her about in the months to come, along with her RAID TWO short story, and clear love of fairytales.
