Mazel Tov!

Here's a wedding invitation I did for my brother and sister-in-law to be. It's a pretty big departure from my usual style, but sometimes it's fun to stretch a bit. Congratulations you two!

Business Cards

Here are some business cards I've done recently. With the exception of the Clovertone card (online store launching soon!) the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

The Moore the Merrier

Here's a poster I did for Toronto's own Soular and rising pop sensation Miss Maya. Catch them at the Lula Lounge this Thursday night!

Lately, I've been sketching at the Art Gallery of Ontario quite a bit. One of my favourite spots is the Henry Moore Gallery. It's awfully quiet, and being surrounded by all of those giant stone forms feels like being in an immense cemetery. Spooky!

Lonely Robots

Here's a piece for a show this summer called Lonely Robots. I'll let you know the details once everything's ironed out!

The Birds and the Bees

Here's a piece I did this week of the Birds and the Bees show at the Jerome Jenner Gallery. Come check the opening reception out on March 20, from 7-11pm (you'll find the gallery at 2880 Dundas West here in Toronto). It's a fundraiser for Sheridan College's Illustration program, so be sure to bring your cheque book and help out a good cause! This sexy lady can be yours for a mere $200!

Continuing in our Jazz Diva series...

Here's one I started ages ago, but only just got around to finishing: The lovely and talented Sophia Perlman. You can catch her Monday nights at the Reservoir Lounge here in Toronto.

Maybe she's born with it?

Here's some unused art I did recently for a promo for rising star Maya Chilton. She's got some great new stuff coming out, and she's sure to make a big splash before long! Don't miss her show this Friday with KC Roberts at the Revival, featuring some of the heaviest musicians Toronto has to offer!

CCBB Redux

Here's the latest poster for Toronto's own Composers Collective Big Band. Be sure to check them out June 2 at the Rex Hotel on Queen Street!

A Night at the Museum

Here are a couple of drawings from the old sketchbook:


I spent yesterday wandering around the ROM sketching their statue collection.

Trying out a few new pen nibs and brushes.
