Time Passages is currently a webstore and avocation offering unique and one-of-a-kind wall décor for your favourite space, operated by former cowboy toddler Michael K. Newton.

Michael spent most of his childhood in small-town Northern Ontario before fleeing to Toronto to experience adulthood. During the last breaths of the 'Tenties' or 'Tens' Michael relocated with his partner out of the city to nearby Guelph, Ontario.

Michael has spent the last twenty years bouncing between two lives, working through the day extensively in retail management and back of house operations for flagship locations of some of the worlds top brands, selling footwear to Oscar winners and childhood guitar heroes, peak of the aughts fast -fashion collaborations to hordes of frugal trend spotters, tech to fanatics that lineup days prior and niche genre vinyl to the most stubborn and discerning of djs.

All while living an alternate night timeline enjoying passion projects such as time playing in a pitchfork graded band, prolifically releasing bedroom pop records across multiple personas, djing niche bar nights at scenester hotspots of days now gone, facilitating award winning community radio stations and producing and programming radio content that has been highlighted internationally as a “conceptual gem”. 

Michael wanted to take a sum of some of these life experiences and turn it into an webstore and portal that is equally about curation, vibe and mood as well as a display of both excellent customer experience and the independent and do it yourself spirit of punk rock within small business.
