Smoke Break #811: “Cargoh”, The Curated Marketplace For Local Artists & Designers

Surfed Cargoh today? You should. Even though the etsy-ish, curated social marketplace for independent artists and designers is still in beta, it’s clearly pretty awesome. What you see above is their video profile for Vancouver’s Indigo (done by Gastown’s own Catalog Creative). She’s a local artist, writer and dancer who “currently works in many mediums including stencils, posters, acrylics, oils, photography, printmaking and more.” Have a browse. It’s a cool way to get familiar with some of local imaginations and a great way to peruse their wares.
