It's been a minute since I've updated and that's just not acceptable! There have been tons of exciting news and projects coming up for me lately. And I'm quickly realizing that it's so important to have a good group of friends that have my back and push me to new heights. It truly blows my mind when I think about some of the support I've gotten recently.
Here is the flyer I designed for my first time showing at Ayden Gallery. It's a huge step for me and I can not wait to show there and catch up with my Vancouver people! It was nice to have the opportunity to do the flyer for all these amazing artists.
Another huge announcement for me has been the linking up with Damu the Fudgemunk's label called Redefinition Records! I'll be doing all sorts of art for their releases and hope to really build a relationship between the music and art. I'm a huge fan of Damu's music so this exactly the kind of thing I want to do with my art. There's a bit of info about it at The Find website.
I've done two more mixes over at 8track. These are bit more obscure and a little bit less hip hop based and show some of the different types of music I listen to(even though I'm a hip hop head most of the time).
Here's the images I used for the covers
Awhile back I took part in a group show at Billy's Bistro in Victoria. The theme was mafia and I did my take on Lucky Luciano. It was fun to do something with a different subject matter and it challenged me a bit.
And finally here a couple pics from the group show I did in Courtney. Thanks to Wallfarmers and Tarah!
I'll be back soon with some recent sketchbook scribbles.

Another Post?! With art this time!
Here's some recent sketches to make up for the lack of new art here. There's a few things in these that are along the lines of where I want to take my art... maybe not there yet.
And now some beats to help your day out

Trying New Things
Not there yet but I think these two pieces are leading up to a new direction for my work. I'll let you know when it's there : P
Here's an amazing video and song from Mr J Medeiros(one of the artists that was on The Find Cover I illustrated)
And I've been super addicted to this song as well. Actually the whole album should be heard by everyone... super tight production. I swear local hip hop is so much better than they get credit for.

BK for Life
Here's a couple shots of me and the love of my life, Brooklyn. She's a French Bulldog and probably the funniest dog I've ever met. BK always makes it hard to draw because she wants to be on my lap or chew shit on my foot.

Staying Home Tonight
Staying home tonight and resisting the urge to throw down some liquid gold. Drawing and painting instead. Guess that's almost as good.
I like music videos. Especially Division East vids.

Basic & Messy
Not sure about this one. Think I went to far into it without thinking about design enough.
Always into new Blue Scholars. Check for Angry Woebots doing his thing in it.
