So, I missed my annual Christmas update…by a lot. The Christmas season, as per standard protocol, was absolutely insane. With four families to visit, multiple projects on the go and a wee show coming up in March (Patience, young padawan, more news will be posted in Feb.) I was simply swamped. Thankfully I did get [...]
Time for a wee break from the commercial work and in with some personal painting…
If you live in Toronto (or happen to be in town), stop by IndexG gallery this Saturday, November 19th between 3 and 6 pm for the opening reception of Art Brownies (click for more [...]
Remember last week when I talked about my super busy schedule? That doesn’t mean I’m not taking on clients, quite the opposite in fact! Bring on the fun!
Last week, in between assignments and paintings, I had a chance to work with Phillip Mondor and the lovely folks at Somerset Graphics to promote [...]
I let you all in on a little known secret, I went back to school five weeks ago. No, no I will not be abandoning illustration, in fact I’m working to expand that skill set, by taking some courses in Communication Design at OCADU. While this is seriously exciting stuff and I’m having a blast [...]
I know I’ve been teasing everyone remorselessly recently with mysterious photo’s of my computer screen. And while I wish I could share those cute little guys, I can’t quite yet.

The Doodle-A-Day has been flying along at top notch and it’s been an absolute blast! So, I thought I would share the progress here along with today’s doodle…Well, maybe not so much a doodle as a full on render, it’s a digital piece generated from one of the many sketches to come out of this [...]
Good Morning, Kids!
Ahhhhh…The move is complete. Everything is unpacked and I’m giddy, well, no, I’m too tired to be giddy, but give me a few days of sleep and I’ll be bouncing off walls faster than you can say “Pong Tournament”. Needless to say, things are good.
Even with the post-move exhaustion, and night [...]
As I write this wee post I’m sitting here staring at walls and walls of boxes. To be honest there is a small threat of tears. I’m moving, yet again (to be fair it has been a year this time, not three months) onto greener, less roommatey, more special man friendly pastures and while it’s [...]
Means very little time to write. It’s looking like a super busy summer here in the studio. Being this busy always leaves me with dueling emotions. On one hand, YAY! Lots of work (We’ve talked about this, I go batty if I have idle hands) on the other hand, I think “Oh lord how will [...]
