Sam Baardman – Marsh Radio

An album cover (and interior) design for the compelling singer-songwriter, Sam Baardman. Artwork inspired by the life and activity of the wetlands as well as the care and concern we must take to preserve them.

Dana Smith – I’ll Smile at Your Funeral

A fun illustration for the cover of an excellent comedy album. Text is rendered by hand to smartly blend in with the wild colour scheme and subject matter. A very funny listen and you can check it out on Spotify and elsewhere!

Fresh Water

A slide illustration pulled from my last PechaKucha presentation ‘The Art of Better’. Somewhat surreal koi pulling away from a takeaway cup.

Sun Bums

A bunch of sea lions sunning themselves on a pier on a hot summer’s day, safely lathered up with sunscreen of course.

ARCTIC FOX NOTEBOOK COVER

Playful arctic foxes forming a seamless pattern to populate the cover of this Decomposition Book for Michael Roger.

CUSTOM GUITAR ARTWORK

Done as part for a client’s wedding gift for his fiancée, this custom floral art was applied after gently sanding the surface and then recoated several times over with thin matte polycrylic, as not to affect the guitar’s sound.

SHOP LOCAL MANITOBA

An illustration done in conjunction with Relish Design Studio to encourage Manitobans to shop local, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic in early February 2021.

BLACK BEARS, POLAR BEARS

Reminiscent of the old “marbled” composition book designs, this illustrated pattern features black bears and polar bears. A custom illustration for the good folks at Michael Roger.

AT PEACE MEDIA

Custom illustration and logo modification was performed for At Peace Media’s Christmas cards.

SPARROW TO THE RESCUE

I was asked by Andrew Boardman to put together a custom illustration for his company’s (MANOVERBOARD) annual calendar that gets sent out to clients. They like to go with a bird theme every year, so I was pretty much the perfect choice for this! The theme for that year was “hope”, so we came up with the idea of this little bird rescuing a boat that was in trouble. One of my favourite custom jobs.

WEDDING INVITATION

A custom illustration of part of the grounds at the Henry Ford Museum, done for a wedding invitation.

VEGAS WEDDING INVITATION

I had so much fun with this. When my friends announced that they were getting married in Vegas, I immediately offered to design the invite. I worked up a card-style caricature of each of them, made to fit on an oversized playing card of an invite.

DANIELLA’S GLUTEN-FREE PASTA LABELS

The mock-up of labels designed for Daniella’s Gluten-Free Pasta. Based out of Alberta, the company imports delicious, high quality pasta from Italy. We went with a look that’s clean, fresh and appealing, just like the pasta itself.

CROW TATTOO ILLUSTRATION

Designed by request of a friend, I love this crow design. I feel it comes off as dark and twisty, but friendly and accessible at the same time.
