Clothed Matters Art Exhibit

Last Friday was the opening reception to the Clothed Matters art exhibit at Freedom CC Gallery (a non profit Toronto gallery that supports local emerging artists). The theme was "fashion" and was curated by Marsya Maharani.

I have two pieces up, "Emily" and "Let's Go Together". I think they look very lovely framed and hung!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the reception! The show runs till November 11th, so drop by if you can.

Weekend Post Cover Illustration

My illustration is on the cover of the Weekend Post section of the current National Post newspaper! And a crop of the large illustration is reused inside with the article.

The article was about translation and was art directed by Daniel DeSouza. It was a pleasure working with him and we're both very happy with how it turned out.

Tuba Animation Character Design

Well, my good friend and composer, Alexis Marsh, and I have been talking about working together on an animation for years! And now with the amazing work of the director and filmmaker, Jesse Ewles, we're getting our act together!

We have just submitted an animation to get a Bravo Fact animation grant! We have a solid story, storyboards, music samples, character design (by yours truly) and a background pan sketch.

So fingers crossed!

Interval House : Brochure Illustration

Earlier this summer I had the pleasure to create another illustration for Interval House. The illustration was for a brochure about the woman's shelter.

This piece was art directed by John Lepp of Agents of Good!

Advertisment in Juxtapoz Magazine

I finally picked up the August Juxtapoz magazine that has my Fluevog shoe ad in it! I hope to be in Juxtapoz again in the future, but maybe in an article instead of an ad.

"Like Birds Too Tired To Fly" Makes The Papers

Shawn Clarke's album, Like Birds To Tired To Fly, has been reviewed in Toronto's NOW Magazine this week! He got 4 out of 5 stars and the write up is wonderful. I was also very excited to see the album art was included in the article.

Congratulations Shawn!

TIME Magazine : The Best of Asia

I came back from my Beautiful British Columbia vacation to find a copy of TIME magazine with my illustration on page 20! May Wong, the art director I worked with, was so wonderful.

The piece was for a write up about a spa that uses ingredients found in a Bloody Mary in their treatments. The half page illustration has the feel of the old pin-up girl in a martini theme, but with a more relaxing, spa type spin.

Fluevog Creative Winner!

Thanks to all my wonderful friends, family and fans of my art, I was voted in as the newest Fluevog Creative Winner!

You can now find a nice interview I gave about my art and my process on the Fluevog website. I'm very excited that the add with be in magazines like Juxtapos, Bust and Ready-Made!
