Craig Small - Making Music Look Amazing

Craig Small is an award-winning visual artist, director, and animator. A co-founder of The Juggernaut Productions, Craig is constantly inventing unique and striking ways to creatively present ideas. His work is  highly sought after by A-list corporate clients, broadcasters, and production houses.   

Nominated for two Emmy Awards for his film title designs, Craig has worked with internationally-renowned design houses, animators, and filmmakers, in addition to bands such as The Sadies, the Tragically Hip, The Beaches, and the Barenaked Ladies, and musicians such as Ron Sexsmith, Michael Bublé, and Dan Mangan. Although not a musician by trade, Craig is officially the 4th member of Don Kerr’s indie band Communism, for which he conceives dynamic and compelling live visuals.

 A self-proclaimed "retro-mechanical nerd",  Craig's work rides the line between the digital and mechanical realms. His creative outputs exist in a world that embraces both the past and future of imagery, machinery, music, and the written word - work that has gained the attention and admiration of people such as Jack White,  Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Mark Maron, and David  Byrne.
