I'm not lazy, I swear!

I haven't posted in a while but i just wanted to let people know that I haven't slowed down. I've been away on a few trips and trying to work at my jobby job as much as possible. I ve also been looking for a new place to live which has become a huge annoyance in my life. All things aside I've still tried to focus on making some stuff for tons of amazing shows coming up in the fall. The big show that the work shown in the picture is for is going to be in early september at the OCAD student gallery. Im super pumped about it, it's gonna be rad!

WAKESKATE DESIGN

I just Finished this graphic for a friend that rides for Sattelyte wakeskates. I hope he likes it, was a lot of fun to do. Im a big fan of native stuff so i jumped at the chance to play with the imagery.

Back from New York

I just got back form New york where our primary objective was to promote ourselves in a creative way to a few specific design agencies. I wasn't able to post any of the preliminary work for my promotion so I figured its better late than never.

Mike Perry was super sweet to us. He was stoked on our promotion so we traded with some of his amazing work! Definitely a high light of the promo tour!
The Boys and I, had an amazing time in the big apple. We got to meet some amazing people and see some amazing sights! It was a good time all around! A big thanks to Tom Slaughter for showing us around, and also a big thanks to the Mezei crew for providing transport and shelter, sorry bout the mirror!

New York Promo

I had to finish screen printing the cover in one night so that I could drop them off at the printers to be chopped and stapled.
This is the last page of the book with a simple drawing and the address of my web page.
This is the second last page which has my c.v. and a business card placed into the page.
This is one of the internal pages
Each book was numbered on the back. The edition was out of 30.

New York Promo (Cover design)

I designed and printed a calender book for my promotion but I wanted to screen the covers, which turned out to be a bigger endeavor than I originally thought.
Although it was a bit more work than I bargained for I was pleased with the way the covers turned out.

card crazy

Today is my fathers birthday, he total upstages Canada day every year. I made him this card for his birthday to celebrate nature and the great canadian wilderness!

my desk/life?

My desk is being well used these days which is usually contradictory for this time of year. Here is a sneak peak at some of the stuff I'm going to try and install for the grad show. Thursday may 7th! come out and check it if you get a chance and don't forget to say hi, if you do!

transport group show

I decided to jazz up the disc that I had to send to American Illustration. Hopefully some one will find it and steal it in the mail room!

Also got a ton of postcards made for the upcoming group show! kinda exciting but I still have a ton of work to make before the show. Time is quickly slipping away.

transport group show

first color And figuring out the regestration.

Killer Kellen, 2nd color! No big deal! strong forearms!

3rd color is printed with our names and the location.


Yesterday, kellen, Jim and I, hit up the Halo Halo studio @ 401 Richmond to print the poster for our up coming show. the poster will be put up in a few places in the city but the majority of them will be available for sale at the show. Keepsix gallery is the space we are showing at and it is located at 938 Bathurst just north of bloor. The opening reception will be happening on May 15 and run for two weeks. The entire show is built around the theme of transportation and has all new never been seen work by the three of us. All are welcome to join us for some refreshments on the 15th if you dare!  

A big huge thanks to Jeff Garcia and Jan Avendano for helping us out! you guys are my favorite!

illustration, boo ya!

I recently became aware that one of my illustrations for thesis had been selected for the upcoming illustration annual  known as American Illustration. Over 8,000 images were submitted  but only 360 images make it in to the published book. I couldn't believe my luck and I am certainly stoked to get in. On that same note I have also been notified that two other pieces of work have been selected by the quarterly illustration publication, known as 3X3. Both publications will be released this upcoming fall. Im so pumped and want to thank all my family, friends, and faculty for their support.

my desk/life?

I thought I would take this time to display my work space at home. I have always found it fascinating to see where people work and live. I love looking through 3x3 magazine to see photos of popular illustrators, studio spaces. This photo is a bit dated cause I have some newer furniture to house the crap-load of supplies at my place. Anyway hope this is interesting to like minded art patrons.
