This illustration was inspired by a couple of friends who had to have heart surgery in the last few months. It was a surprising thing, as both are around my age (under 30), however luckily both of them are on the mend with no serious repercussions (I believe!). At any rate, everything can be fixed. The image is meant as both a literal and metaphorical interpretation of mending one’s heart.
What’s this? Finally a breakdown of my PechaKucha presentation and only one month after it occurred? Why Sam, you are on the ball, I tip my hat to you…
I wanted to post about this much sooner, of course, but the news that it hadn’t gotten recorded dampened my enthusiasm some. It’s of no matter now, but it did upset me a bit at the time. Read on to hear a little more about the presentation and some of the “reviews”! More please… »

Earlier last week I was alerted to the fact that Chapters has been selling a bunch of paper products with some of my iStockphoto illustrations on them. How novel! How… noteworthy (pun intended). So, of course I had to venture down to the local Polo Park Chapters to check them out.

Just an illustration of a jellyfish… Had been working on this one for a while, but never really seemed to get my mojo workin’ with it. I like the final piece, but I feel like maybe it needs more detail or something…
Of course, if you disagree, you can purchase it on iStockphoto.
Here’s the latest illustration I have available on iStockphoto. Just wanted to do a more modern take on a traditional, hunting-style image. I like the way this one came out.
Since I was so successful with my last year’s resolutions *cough, cough*, I figured I’d give the whole thing another shot. That’s what the whole “New. Year.” thing is about, right? It’s a good thing I didn’t make a resolution to blog more, since the last resolution post is practically still on the same page of blog entries. Ha! I’m not that stupid.

Well, it’s been strangely cold and dry here in Winnipeg, even for November, so putting up this latest piece seems appropriate. If you’re into it, you can buy it here.

Well, not me, but someone will get tattooed with the above image, I assure you…
It was a commissioned piece and a lot of fun to work on. It’s rare, but occasionally it happens that a client and I have the exact same vision for a piece and for something as personal as a tattoo, that’s a great thing! The three birds commemorate the client’s thirtieth birthday and the final product may be infused with some red colouring after it’s been tattooed. I really love how this composition turned out.
A sweet little creamsicle here to tell you that I’m going to be on vacation from July 9 – 24. I’ll be around and reachable by email, so please feel free to drop me a line!
And here’s an iPhone wallpaper version of the above, for those who want to sweeten up their summer.

Mac, over there on the left, is dumping Stacy for a newer model, despite his own advanced age. Must be a mid-product-life-cycle crisis.
Never ever break up by text message. I don’t care how steeped society is in technology these days, it’s just so disrespectful. I did this one for fun, but I think it does make a little statement. Maybe I should upload this one, I don’t know?
Alternative title for this piece? “I’m sorry, you’re breaking up.”
