A large portion of sales goes back to the artist so please check it out. It is definitely worth it.

CAVALCADE SHOW Installation

Just before the closing party I snuck into Xspace to install the Geometric Janitor. I Had a load of help from Sean Lewis and in a few hours it was fully set up. We Had a lot of fun at the closing reception and the Cavalcade publication was launched (photos coming soon).

In Other news the fine folks of "The Globe and Mail", found one of my promo papers and wrote about it in the Dec 11th issue. Heres the link!

CAVALCADE SHOW @ XSPACE

It isn't very often that an illustrator gets an opportunity to work on wall size images, but it is a lot of fun. This is a shot of my section of the massive wall mural on exhibit at Xspace gallery.

over the course of the month the 9 artists involved will be altering and adding to each others section to create one huge continuous, collaborative mural.
Sean Lewis and I have already started the collaborative process by adding a character to his section of the mural.

These are just a few details but I definitely recommend taking a closer look at all the amazing work.

The show will be on exhibit, until DEC 11 followed by an awesome closing reception and after party at the White House.

Don't hesitate, This work will be gone forever in a few weeks, never to return! Over Dramatic but oh well!

new stuff

New piece for a self promo project!

CAVALCADE

It's been a while since my last post but I haven't forgotten. This image is a promotional image for an upcoming group show at Xspace. There are 10 artists in total and our objective is to transform the walls of Xspace into a 360 degree panoramic view of some kind of continuous parade/procession. This show is going to be incredible so check it out if you can on Nov 11.

Bean sprout ideas

I've always liked messing around with moving pictures. This is just a little short that I started to play around with.

Last Week I had the pleasure of helping out a good friend, and learn all about screen printing at the Halo Halo studio.
studio kitten! "shorty", but you to say it in an auto tune voice= showdy!
What a sweet set up, there is so much cool stuff to look at. Jeff Garcia and friends have done a great job of setting up this awesome studio space.

Jeff does screen printing lessons and is a rad dude, so give him a call for all your screen printing needs!

FILM NORTH trailers

The good people of Concrete Design made this little diddy! so rad!

HIGH TIDE poster

I decided to create a vector version of the high tide poster that I painted in my previous post! At First I really liked the painted version but now I'm starting to think that this version is superior! If anyone has a preference, let me know?

HIGH TIDE

This is just a personal piece that I wanted to do for a while. There is no real concept behind it but I was inspired by a band that I've been listen to a lot, lately. The group is called Tennis. They are from Denver but bought a sailboat in Florida and wrote a bunch of songs sailing around the Pacific.Before their money ran out! What a great way to focus on a project!

FILM NORTH POSTER, and branding

Earlier this summer I was approached to create some illustrations for a film festival that takes place in Huntsville, Ontario. The film festival is called Film North and this is it's debut year.

I Love Huntsville so much, its a beautiful little town to visit if your ever in the area. The direction was to create Canadiana, elements that could be collaged together to form a large poster. I am happy with the way it turned out and stoked that I had the opportunity to draw this kinda stuff.
As a promotion a few of my drawings were turned into rub on tattoos.

I love the way they turned out. Rad to see people rockin them!

Eye weekly spot

I just finished this little spot illustration for the upcoming eye issue. I had a lot of fun working on this guy and so glad that I had an opportunity to draw a cartoon millipede walking through a tacos and can of PBR.

My skate board! again!

I've been surfing the inter web And came across this much higher quality shot of the deck I painted. Here's a link about the show. These guys rule!

I hope I can paint another for next years disposable art show!

wake skate

A while ago, I made some art work for my friend, Nic Harlos. He is a sick dude and sponsored for wake skating. He liked my design so he stuck it on a board and these are a few shots of the finished graphic on the actual board. It's so great to see it all done especially when it is on a 3 dimensional structure. Thanks Nic!

RAD!

I never got to see this in person But it was posted on facebook. bad ass!
