Interval House Gratitude Report 2012

I love the 2012 Interval House gratitude report!  It was created and designed by the wonderful people at Agents of Good.  Throughout the report, my dollhouse illustration can be found in the photos.

I created this dollhouse illustration for the 2009 gratitude report.  The people at Interval House liked the illustration so much that they bought the framed original.  I'm so glad it continues to be a loved and useful piece of artwork for this Toronto battered woman's shelter.

Nature Canada Thank You Card

This was a really fun commission I received through the wonderful people at Agents of Good.  It's an illustration for Nature Canada to be printed as a card and sent out to people who had donated to the organization over the last year.  The client wanted to include water, trees, people and animals.  But it was important that it could look like anywhere in Canada.

I thought the final turned out rather well!  I love doing outdoorsy illustrations.

Mindful Magazine: Issue 1

The premier issue of Mindful Magazine is out, and I'm so chuffed that I'll be a regular illustrator for the Mindful-Mindless section!

Green Parent Magazine

The second "family portrait" illustration for Green Parent Magazine is out!  This one will be accompanying the Earth Mother column, written by Claire Ashbourne.  It was great working again with the Art Director, Jez Harris on this.

Interval House Impact Report

Back in December, I worked with the amazing people at Agents of Good (John Lepp and Jen Love) to illustrate an infograph for Interval House woman's shelter.  John and Jen are so wonderful to work with and I think it's their caring, positive energy that make the work produced really great!  I have to say I'm very happy with how this impact report came out.  I love that it's a nice blend of storytelling and numbered facts.

Today's Parent: Debate Illustration

This is my latest Today's Parent illustration for the January debate.  This debate was on whether or not you let your toddler watch tv.  You can read both sides here.

I'm always thrilled to work with the art directors over at Today's Parent Magazine on these commissions!

Winter Holidays

So I'm celebrating my winter holiday back in the West Kootenay's with my family.  I've been cross country skiing and merry making, and I intend to do plenty more over the next week!

It's been a busy year for me filled with drawing, illustrating, framing, reading, writing, teaching and generally working hard.  I'm thrilled with what I've accomplished over the year and excited for what's coming next.  But it's so important for me to fit in as many outdoor expeditions as I can manage around the edges.

I hope you all are enjoying your own picturesque Christmas!

Green Parent Illustration

I had the pleasure to work art director, Jez Harris over at The Green Parent magazine.  This is the first of a pair of illustrations.  This one is is for the Modern Dad column.  The illustration is of the dad who writes the column, with his three cute little kids.
