Meet our BabyBeasts. Oh yes, they are pleased to meet you – they  
just haven’t learned their manners yet. They come with diverse  
backgrounds, personalities and aspirations but they all share one  
thing in common: they were left in the cold by such groups as BSA  
(Babies Suck Anonymous) and BHFL (Baby Haters For Life. And so they  
share one need: a warm home – free from cruelty and suffering. And  
they come in two sizes.
Look closely. Find yourself in some of them. Some are destined to be  
outcasts, some popular, some serious, some light-hearted, some quiet  
and some rambunctious. See their raw innocence as there was a time  
when we all possessed it. Though all of the building blocks of  
civility are there – temperance, worry, courtesy, guilt…they are  
yet to be assembled. Social etiquettes, bad habits, good habits,  
friendship bonds have yet to be formed. Some would callously say,  
they are arguably more beast then human.

Adopt a BabyBeast and protect her from those who say babies are a  
good source of Vitamin D and Omega-3s. Adopt a BabyBeast before he  
turns to debauchery and crime. Adopt a BabyBeast as a low maintenance  
way to remember a precious time of primitiveness, innocence,  
wildness, that special time before you had a single care in the  
world. (Yes they poop. But it is invisible and scent-free. They also  
eat dust. And they walk themselves outside at night while you are  
sleeping and lock the front door behind them).
With 10% of all proceeds going to CHEO (for real) adopt a BabyBeast  
so you can have the satisfaction of being a part of another BabyBeast  
happy ending!
*Come to the Adoption Party and enjoy BabyBeast-inspired refreshments.

DENIAL, or “D3N!@L” is a Canadian graffiti and mixed-media artist.  
His moniker is a phonetic mix-up representing his first name, and by  
definition, pokes fun at modern advertising, politics, and media  
messages that society is often “in denial” about. DENIAL is known  
for his prolific guerrilla-marketing campaign, which takes public aim  
at ideas involving social-justice, pop-culture, mass-media, and “New  
World Order” conspiracy theories. With over 500,000 of his adhesive  
logos displayed in public places around the world, the

DENIAL PROJECT has become a conceptual piece of marketing absurdism.  
DENIAL intends to challenge traditional ideas about graffiti and  
public art, as well as the excessive corporate use of public space.
Street art is a transient form of expression with a generally short  
life span. Frustrated by this, DENIAL began to bridge his street art  
ideas, into tangible works, that galleries and collectors could  
procure, avoiding the expiration date that they would otherwise be  
subject to. DENIAL has drawn from his background in graffiti, graphic- 
design, and traditional sign manufacturing, to develop his own style  
of vivid mixed-media paintings. Often depicting pin-up models, over- 
sized signage, and over-sized magazine and newspaper covers, DENIAL  
laces his work with cryptic, abstract, and urban themes.

DENIAL’s base of operation exists in southwestern Ontario, and his  
pieces are popping up all over North America. His recent commissions  
include custom pieces for clients in Toronto’s distillery District,  
CBC Canada, MTV USA, Montreal’s exclusive Colart Collection, Social  
Restolounge in Calgary, and for Toronto based Lori Morris Design Inc.  
at Pearson International Airport. DENIAL’s multi-faceted art career  
is taking on a new dimension, as he has moved towards the production  
of exclusive works. Until now,

DENIAL has utilized the art of stenciling to its full extent, by  
creating limited-series numbered paintings, in order to remain  
accessible to collectors. His new custom stencils are used for a  
single original painting, and then destroyed.
