It's been a crazy November but finally I can settle down and write a blog post. I've been working on some new projects as well was travelling for a bit. It was really cool to go to the American Illustration party for the first time earlier this month! I admit I was pretty nervous going to the party but I had a blast meeting new faces. OH and Uniqlo is amazing, Ooooh wow is it ever amazing. Wish I could of stayed in NYC for a bit longer, hope to plan a trip this Summer. NY is such an awesome city with so much things to see around every street corner and not just because of Uniqlo. But yes partly because of Uniqlo.
The above illustration was a done last week for the Financial Post. Many stocks have risen through this year but some outstanding stocks have soared higher and faster then others. In honor of Movember and the fact that I cant grow a mustache if my life depended on it, I slapped a handsome stache on the dude!
If you follow Pete Ryans Blog you might have seen these two above pieces I did for RBC Dexia. It's the second time me and Pete have been in the same publication which is pretty cool and have the sneaking suspicion that Pete is stalking me. The first piece is about U.S FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) capturing all potential tax revenue. The second is about UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment In Transferable Securities)...*breathe* with a new form of UCITS being released soon. People must plan early when things are simple before they get more complicated. I'm trying to do less line work and I'm really liking how it's looking. I feel that way things get pushed back and forward more, which makes for a more visually interesting piece. Shape work without line is something I aim to continue to try to explore.
Lastly but not leastly, an illustration I did for Canadian Lawyer. The article was about Wind Farms and that leasing them to farmers has become a nightmare which leaves Farmers, Lawyers and Tenants twisting in the wind. I had tonnes of fun on this image, especially the guy with the pants hanging low. Was glad they kept that in!
That's it for now more to come soon!
