Yoga DJ and a Shoot Out

I've been busy working on a few illustrations lately. Here's a piece for Swerve Magazine and Modern Dog respectively. Enjoy! 

 

the Raven and the Loon

I've been busy for the last couple of months working on a new book with Inhabit Media art directed by Danny Christopher. Here's a look at some of the character development as well as a preview of some of the interior pages!

Afternoon Tea

A series of illustrations I'm working on for promos! Three more in this series to follow (maybe more?). Stay tuned!

Sketchbook

Working through somethings in the sketchbook! Does anybody know of a good 8.5" x 11" soft cover sketchbook?

Winter break

It may still be winter but all I can think about is the beach...

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! Happy New Year! Hope you guys all had a great holiday. This Saturday &Ampersand 4 opens and is running all month long at the Untitled Art Society Satellite Gallery In Calgary! Come check out the work. I worked with a good friend of mine, Victoria Mitchell on a piece for the show. But it you can't make it out this month to the Calgary show here's the work:

Oh yeah! And here are some new backgrounds I've been working on:

Court House

Another little background for a game I'm working on. 

Christmas Traditions

I did a piece this week for Swerve Magazine about family holiday traditions which got me thinking about my own family traditions. Most of them include the build up to Christmas... playing Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters, and Neil Diamonds Christmas albums, watching old Christmas specials on tapes from the 80s (did anybody else love the Muppet's Christmas special from back then with the Sesame Street cross over)! Every Christmas we always have a big celebration on Christmas Eve with lots of food drinks and games with a lot of animated conversations. We would always make my Grandmother's secret recipe of cookies ans go looking at Christmas lights, both of which I continue to do on my own. All those things are reasons why this is my favourite time of year. Any crazy christmas traditions for you?

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Stay safe and warm! 

Town Center

Nighttime Village

Working on environment concepts for a gnome village. I've been working on trying to get more mood and a sense of atmosphere in my paintings. It's as listed: final version, colour concept, light values and thumbnails.
