Another edition of the “here I am to post regularly again” blog. What brings me out of solitude this day? Three things actually. Sean Galloway, Kuta, and a contest. I don’t often talk on other artists mostly because it is just my opinion of them. But Sean “cheeks” Galloway is someone who I have looked [...]

Well here I am again. First post of 2009. I said there was a lot of stuff keeping me busy these last few months and here I am to finally spill the beans. But first things first. Illustration Friday. I was feeling very stale drawing lately. Not a good thing. So to bust out of [...]

My dear blog. I have missed you these last few months. But as much as I miss you there have been good reasons for my absence, reasons that are justified and exciting, but also that I cannot dive into at the moment. And so I cannot stay long, just long enough to add a quick [...]

What can I say, summer’s been busy. So hello again to those two of you who still check my blog once in a while. I’ve been working on a few different things that have left me not drawing as much as I would like. I have also just finished a project for a cool museum [...]

Happy May to you all. Well, I’ve been fairly busy so I just have time to do a quick update and post. Firstly, I know I talked about posting my pop-up book working footage on here, but it’s going through a major revision currently. Rather than posting it as is, I would rather post the [...]

So it’s mid April here in Edmonton. Spring was in the air, until this weekend. Wow! Looks like Christmas again outside. We’ve been having snow fall since last friday night and it’s pretty bad. At least it’s not 30˚below out there. This week’s Illustration Friday topic was Primitive. As soon as I read it I [...]

Welcome to March! I decided that it was high time I was involved with Illustration Friday again, and so I spent a few hours this morning working on an illo for it. Then painter crashed on me. I am a crash-a-phob and so normally save every 15-20 minutes. Normally. In the last year I have [...]

I have a blog? I post here…for real? Well, it doesn’t seem like it does it. Where have I been the last THREE MONTHS?!!! Well, in a word. Busy. In more words, I’ve been working on a new project that actually has me not drawing until just recently, as well as dipping my hands into [...]

I just love Fairy Tales. There’s just something about them that is so wonderfully imaginative and timeless. When I am trying to think of new stories and also when I am looking at the new books that come out I wonder if they will be around in the future and if they will be as [...]

Well I was able to produce a little Illustration Friday sketch today. Been a while since I participated and it’s nice to get back into it again. Sometimes being creative is difficult and just sketching from uninspired thoughts starts to reflect itself in my work. So being challenged to think differently and really push out [...]
