2010 is Already Crazy!

Phew, 2010 has already left me out of breath and running around like a mad man. I am really going to have to be on my toes this year and push myself way harder then I ever have. But I feel ready for it!

I recently did an interview with my good homie Tarah over at Wallfarmers.ca Make sure to check out all the other amazing interviews and features!

My show at Ayden Gallery has finally come and I'm just getting my bags packed for Friday evening. I can't wait to see some of my old Vancouver friends and meet some of the other amazing artists showing that night. Here's a reworking I did of the flyer image. This will be there for sale as a giclee print and I think it'll be about 45 inches.

Lonely Traveler


















As I mentioned in my last post I am going be doing some exciting things with Redef Records and Damu the Fudgemunk. Check out their blog where they recently mentioned my interview!

Something I have been working on lately is doing more female images. There is a ton of roughs in my sketchbook but here's one I developed into a more finished look. Let me know if you're feeling it. It's been a challenge to work the girls in with my style.

Say Goodbye to What


















Another thing I have been trying to bring into my work is doing some photo manipulation. Luckily I have a very talented photographer friend, Jennifer Kennedy who lets me rock over her photos. Hopefully I'll be doing some more of these because I find them a nice change of pace and can lead to so many different looks.















Here's a couple ink and watercolour pages from my moleskin.





































Happy New Years!!! Hope 2010 is a positive one for you.

Catching UP

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.
