Swamped.  That’s how I’m defining my last 2 months, and from the looks of things, I’ll be doing the same until at least March.  I’ve just recently wrapped up the Alberta Winter Games comic (so expect a post on that…well at some point), and I’m now working on a couple picture books, one of which [...]

I can’t believe it’s already been two years since my first book, The Gophers in Farmer Burrows’ Field came out!  It has been such an amazing experience.  For some reason, the first year of the book just blew past me and after I looked back at the fact that I missed celebrating the book turning [...]

Hey everyone!  I was at a fantastic launch party over the weekend for the 2012 Alberta Winter Games!  We were treated to a music by the talented The Bird Sang Song, as well as Juno nominated John Wort Hannam, who was not only hilarious and a great performer, but also wrote the theme song to [...]

Hey-Low everyone!  Well I’ve just recently returned from what is probably my last con for the year at the Toronto Fan Expo (or Fan Expo Canada).  What an amazing event!  The Fan Expo team really knocked it out of the park, in fact 99% of the people I talked to said it was way better [...]

I’m back after what feels like a very long time that has passed all too quickly (and it has!). Where has the summer gone? Well, my summer has gone in this order. Deadlines. Convention. Deadlines. Convention. To little time to finish any project. Conference. And as I just finished a deadline for a project, of [...]

Hey everyone!  I was scritch scratchin’ the other two mornings doing some character dev for a new idea I’m kicking around and decided to do another screen recording of the process.  Forgot to get the drawing part again.  Anyway, here’s the sketch and video.  The whole thing took around 40 minutes and was done in [...]

Hey.  Quick post today as I am busily prepin’ for the Calgary Comic Expo this weekend!  I’m really excited as last year was just fantastic!  If you’re in the area I’m booth R03.  Stop by and say “howdy” after all we will be in Calgary! So I love seeing process videos, other artists and creators [...]

A family recently commissioned me to do a version of them all as supers.  It was a lot of fun creating a background for all them as well.  The father is a expert renovator, the one daughter loves Cinderella and the other Mermaids, and the mom, well, she’s like all moms, super. I hope to [...]

A few months back the Alberta Conservation Association contacted me asking if I would be willing to illustrate a few spot images for an article they had in their upcoming magazine issue.  It was based on getting kids outside and discovering the fun that can be had outdoors away from the TV (a seriously difficult [...]

I had a hankering for Superman the other day though I admit I’ve never been a huge fan.  Recently I saw a fan made animation and it really kindled a new appreciating for the son of Krypton.  You can see it here.   Not only is it an amazing piece of work, but it was [...]
