Just received a book today that I am so excited to be a part of. A friend of mine, and one of my peers, Janine Vangool, has been working on a project called “Work Life” which showcases 63 Canadian Illustrators and Photographers. As I said, I am quite happy to be a part of this project. When I found out about the call for entries for this book I really didn’t think twice about submitting my work. I really just wanted to be a part of it.

Janine is great designer and, most (or all even) of what she develops, will be something that people in the industry will take notice of.

Here are a couple sample Fruit of the Loom T-shirts I had printed last summer. There are only a handful left and will be doing a variety of new ones soon but if these are of any interest let me know and I can sort out getting you one. I will also be adding a product section to my site as soon as I get everything together. Lots of fun stuff.

Having a rather busy spring, both with illustration and a few film/editing projects, has left me little time to be drawing in my sketchbook. Over the next month or so I will be focusing a little more on this and soon hope to be putting some of this here.

Until then-here are a few things I thought I would ad given they won’t go in my portfolio quite yet.

Here is piece I have recently had to revamp for an image and ad I did several years ago. They wanted to ad a bit of info to the ad. So, given that I like drawing, I decided to draw the text they were requiring to bring a more cohesive feel between the licking lady and the words.

Another very hot and stick day. After what seemed to be a much longer and colder winter, we have finally moved into summer. The longer days, warm sun, and people out and about are indeed a source of inspiration for the many projects I have going at one time. Maybe even add to that a creamy decaf latte.

I hope the summer in front of me is as fun and culturally riveting as the one I had last summer in Europe. I guess there won’t be the 6 century (+) old churches to loiter in though.

I am however looking forward to the festival season and wandering the streets here in search of interesting characters to draw. Stay tuned for more of this.

And yes, there is the Jazz fest in Montreal which should be most splendid.
