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.

first color And figuring out the regestration.

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

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.

 I've been cleaning out my hard drive and checking out some old work. I had a hard time getting my name on this work for some reason and I found a screen shot I took after they included my name thanks to the Swav. He was the one responsible for making me grow a spine and hooking it all up. the other images are the roughs I submitted before I painted up the actual console. 

the street

So a long while back i stumbled upon some cut up 1"X1" segments in my favorite dumpster. I thought they looked cool so i painted them up in various colors not really knowing what else to do with them. I was also fortunate enough to have a bit of help form "smelly kelly", and jak with some of the peg designs. After these things cluttered up my humble home "studio" i decided to share them with the world, or at least queen west. let me know if you find them?

snowboard graphic assignment

This piece was for my 3rd year core illustration class. the idea was to design a snowboard graphic about the 4 elements Earth, wind, water, and fire. I wanted to draw long rat creatures so this is what I came up with for the earth element.
