Slice and Dice

Here is a recent illustration done for Canadian Lawyer! The article is a look at the future of collective bargaining agreements, specifically focusing on Ontario Farm Workers. Recently a law was passed that would not grant farm workers many of their collective bargaining right which relates to striking. I'm trying to explore more work without ink lines and realized when you start to close doors for yourself, you discover many more to open. I still have so much to learn but I am hopeful I'll find a nice balance!

Here is the rough, thanks for reading!

Paddle 2 Live

Hi all! Here is something big that I have been working on for Paddle2Live a charity paddling event to be held September 10th! I was asked by Jack Shimko to create a poster similar to my "Planning Ahead" Illo I did awhile back. I was pretty excited and nervous at the same time, because I never created a piece that was a large poster size.

Incorporating a large worldly view was the angle that we chose to create. Jack for the event will swim to the 8 islands from Point Conception to Newport Beach Harbor (over 150 Miles of paddling!). As well various races will be going on along Newport Beach Harbor. Jack paddled the same event last year and described all the amazing things he sees along the way. The big challenge was adding all of the elements we talked about into one image. I think in this case the large format help me add many different elements without sacrificing too much detail. Google Earth was super handy for getting aerial and even some topographic views on the landscape.

I will post more closer to the event date. It was great pleasure working with Jack Shimko. A survivor of cancer himself and an inspiring individual. It was a honor to participate and contribute to this awesome event!

Here are some detail pics:







I definitely encourage to go check the site www.paddle2live.org for all details of the event.
