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.


Seinfeld reruns! What's the deal with airline food?

Please Mr. Music, will you play?

Here are a few recent pieces I've done. January is music month!

First up: A poster for local jazz ensemble, The Composers Collective Big Band. They're playing at the Rex Hotel on the 23rd, and are well worth seeing! The band lineup is subject to change as the show approaches, so I'll change the poster accordingly.


Next: a demo CD design for the Holiday Brass, a classical quintet that plays at events over the holiday season (I suppose I'm a little late in posting this)




And finally, the finished version of the Humber Recording Studios logo.

Mic check one two

Here are a few logo concepts for Humber College's new recording studio. The client wanted to basically keep the college logo, but still say "recording industry". The consensus seems to be that the middle one is the way to go.

Last week's new arrival, this week's work in progress

ANOTHER UPDATE: Ok, so maybe a *little* more work couldn't hurt. Here's where I'm at as of this morning!


UPDATE: The work continues, I think maybe another day of work should finish it off nicely. Oh, and don't tell Judy! James wants her to be surprised.


I guess it's been a full week since I posted! Don't worry, I've been toiling away on new work, but these ones will take a bit longer to finish. In the meantime, here's a painting I'm working on of my brand spanking new niece, Lillian. If your reading this, James, make room on your wall! Hopefully it'll be done and dry by this weekend.

I switched to oils this week, and I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out so far. Looks like the next few pieces I do will be a mix of acrylics and oils. Stay tuned!

(sorry about the crappy cellphone pic, I promise I'll get a respectable scan of it once it's done!)
