Website Overhaul!

Well, it took WAY to long but I've rebuilt my website...entirely, from the ground up. I feel intensely accomplished, though I'm watching the sun rise right now so I should probably think about sleep. Back to work in a few ours...

Another teaser

It's ALMOST FINISHED.

Tranzac video!

The wonderful folks at Cyanix Studios recently documented a gallery show/concert we held at the Tranzac club in Toronto. I'd like to thank John for creating an incredible piece of multimedia gold, beautifully showcasing the event.
Check out the killer video at www.cyanixstudios.com

Danger

One of the most intense expressions I've ever drawn...makes me uneasy just looking at it, which is AWESOME.

Floral Lizards

A digital WIP for a fine art piece I'm working on. I'm falling in love with cheesy floral patterns.

Patterns

Another Samurai I'm working on. Woot for patterns.

Samurai comic preview

Did I mention I've got samurai on the brain? Here's a page from a comic I'm working on based on a Japanese legend in which four warriors (including the only female samurai ever known to exist) stood against all of Japan and it's corrupt rulers.

It should be fun.

Gumshoe

uhhh...couldn't tell ya.

More Samurai

My life's upside down right now, but here's a piece I did for a print sale.

Samurai

Gah, haven't posted in a while...so much busy is I. I got my piece for my Grad book done, just in the nick of time. It's funny because I spent the better part of a week working on a rather epic scene but it just wasn't clicking. So, at the last minute I threw together a watercoloury portrait which I quite fancy. Now that the stress of my grad book is over, I can focus on getting some fine art in line for the year end show, as well as continuing my wacky comic book.

Weeeeee.

Art meets music

Attended the Nuclear Winter show last night in Mississauga ON. What a blast. A Fine showcase of incredible art and intense music. It was also my first chance to showcase a giant painting I'd been working on, so that was really cool. Hats off to the organizers of the event, particularly Paolo Diague (spelled wrong?) and Chris Brett for busting their tails to set this thing up.

Now it's my turn. This Saturday is a crazy gallery/concert in Toronto that myself and a few others put together. Some big bands, breakdancing, TONS of artwork everywhere, an art raffle....it's going to be nuts.

Chaos!

The Chaos comic anthology is finally complete! Well, mostly (you know who you are!)

Other incredible news: THE Stephen Silver has agreed to write a foreword for the book! That's just about the coolest thing I can think of.

I can't wait until I have the book in my hands...I think that'll cause the stress to drain away, replaced with a sense of accomplishment.

Indeed.

Bleed your own blood

Definitely my favourite panel.

Cammy

Decided to do some fan art tonight.







I don't do fan art.

Ever.

So it was a fun exercise.

Owned

I very much like this particular panel.

One more week to go...

Art Jam Auction Closing

In the last few hours of the Art Auction excitement is mounting. This, in conjunction with the Art Jam have been some of the most rewarding ventures of my life, and I thank everyone who helped me deal with the chaos that resulted from it. After midnight, when the auction closes, I'll post the final money count, which has just supassed $1500!

Rock on.

Prism

Another quick update. Stepped into my recording studio for the first time in WAY too long. Music has always been a huge passion of mine, and my collection of various instruments, pedals, and amps make some music stores look silly. Not that I use them enough to justify their existence, but that's another story.

So I'm working on this short animation, and I decided to rock some custom music. So my buddy Ty and I did some collaborating and the results were tres awesome. I should have the sucker done sometime in March.

Chaos

So I've been working on my part of an enormous comic compilation called "Chaos" (think Flight but even crazier) I'm honoured to have been invited to work on this incredible project, featuring some of the most talented young artists in the industry.
Keep your ear to the ground. This is big.

Old School Beats

Sadly I didn't have time to contribute to this show, but that will not stop me from plugging it. The artists that are displaying repainted vinyl covers are some of the best emerging talent in the industry and everyone should check this out.
