Long time no Post! trading Cards

Sorry for the gap in posts! Here are the first of some comic book character trading cards I was commissioned to do. Red Hulk and DC's Bizarro.

One more thing...It's been emotional.

Congratulations everyone! Thanks to everyone who made it out, family, friends, and faculty!

Infographics!! Grad Show!!

The Sheridan Illustration grad show is just around the corner!! Come by the Burroughs Building at 639 Queen st. west anytime after 7pm Thursday night, or anytime from 11am-9pm friday and check out all the incredible grad work (and mine!). The Grad year micro-site is also online, you can see it here.

Also, here's an info graphic I created, a map of Canadian Music (1970-2009). The idea behind it is to eventually create an interactive online archive, with everything from artist bios, to releases, timelines, touring schedules, and everything else. The beginnings of a potentially massive undertaking. I will also be preparing prints of this poster (24 x 36) in the future, for anyone interested.

24 Hour Party Pill

A recent painting I did about the club scene. Acrylic, Spraypaint, and Speedball Ink.

Comicon!

Sorry for the delay in posts, it's been super busy! I spent this past weekend at the fan appreciation comic con, sharing some tables with Darryl Graham, Aaron Hatherall, and Tom Twolan. I spent the majority of the time rocking comission pieces like this batman. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us! Hopefully I will be able to find my camera and thus put up more pics from the weekend.

Here are the pages from before, only with some colour on them. Almost done now!

Thanks to Table of Elements for throwing the Hip-Hop jam yesterday, and all those who came out to it! Here's to many more live painting/hip hop festival opportunities in the future!

Grad Show!!!!!! Graffiti showcase

The end of the school year is upon us! Come check out the Sheridan Illustration Grad show on the night of the 23rd or 24th of April at the Burroughs Building, 639 Queen St. W!!

On top of that, I'll be painting a piece tomorrow afternoon at Sheridan College outside the SCAET building for a Hip-Hop festival from 2:30 on. If you're around campus, come check it out!!

For the Love of Print!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances involving the loss of some corporate sponsorship, the Sheridan Illustration year end graduate art book (of which I am part of!) is in danger of not being published this year! Some of my fellow students have put together a campaign to help raise money to cover production and publication costs, and every little bit helps. Please visit the page below for information on the book and donations. Any support is much appreciated!

For the Love of Print!

Aside from the year end book, we will be putting on an annual gallery which will be held downtown Toronto, and is sure to be a face-melting showcase. More information on the show soon!

It's coming...!

Transcend

New painting. It's 12 x 48, acrylic and ink.

Catalysts back in action.

I recently picked up work on my graphic novel project, The Catalysts. Here's a quick colour sketch I did that gives another look at how the characters will be rendered.

RIP Sydney!

Here's a t-shirt design I did recently for the band Sydney. They just wrapped up one final lap around the country before calling it quits, and had an epic last show in Hamilton. Here's to Sydney!

KAB + Lifetime Collective

I recently participated in a charity show to celebrate Keep-A-Breast and Lifetime Collective teaming up to raise money for breast cancer awareness. They had twelve or so artists paint casts, which were exhibited at the show and will be part of Lifetime Collective clothing displays all over the place. Here's my piece, but I encourage you to check out some of the other casts as there were some killer ones on display! Also, for more info check out:

...of separation

Here's the rest of the piece! I wasn't able to get a decent photo (no space in the room...or lighting), so I included a close-up on the details.

the sound...

Here's a small detail of a painting I recently finished, I will hopefully have a decent picture of it to post in the next few days! It's 40' x 40' which is making it difficult to get a decent transfer to digital...
