Hey all, here's a new illustration for the Globe and Mail's Facts and Arguments Section. The story is about a mother preparing to go on a trip with her daughter to Paris. The preparation and thoughts of the trip bear down on her everyday before she leaves.

Hello all! Recently I have been working on some animation shorts for Kickpixel. It's been a fun experience doing these as well as a big challenge. These are in no particular order but, Run Man Run was the first one I did and Cannot Connect is the latest one. Hello all! Recently I have been working on some animation shorts for Kickpixel.

Here's a full page illustration I did for Investment Advisor. The article was about creating tangible value in your 401k practices. I made roughs with two different angles, the first being finding a path to a successful retirement and the next was creating tangible value. Really had fun doing the roughs and the final. Thanks to AD Chris Nicholls for the great direction!

Some rough ideas all of these I would of loved to do as well.

A cover I illustrated for an Irvine Visitors Magazine. I was really excited to do the project mainly because it was the first cover assignment I've done. I did a similar map illustration of Newport Beach for the Paddle 2 live poster and they wanted something with a similar feel. The challenge always is to make the complicated area simple and informative, and it's always a fun challenge figuring it out.

Happy June-uary everyone, here is a new illo for Owl Kids summer fiction issue! The short story is about 2 boys and their adventure at the fair. They go on a quest to obtain the coveted prize at the midway. Thanks to Caroline for a fun project to work on and also chocolate milk and chocolate cereal is never a good idea.

Last week I announced I just launched a website I was working on showcasing my pixel illustrations. Kickpixel.com is finally live! I've been working on this site during the extra classes I was taking at OCADu and I'm really happy that its done. It's the first version of the site so I'm still working on some improvements and definitely taking some suggestions so please do let me know.

Another Rap artist portrait of one of my all time favorites Eminem (Slim Shady). In elementary school and high school I pretty much grew up listening to him. You know during those days where you had to pay a friend to burn you a mix CD. I remember the first time I saw Eminem was watching BET with my brother then "Hi My Name Is" came on. We both remember thinking who the hell is this guy? Man this dude does not have a chance.

I was having a lot of fun messing around with my Kickpixel site and pixeling shoes, that I thought I would give portraits a try. I'm also thinking of making a separate portfolio for my pixel art. Would be awesome to market this style I think. Here is another side project I forgot to blog post about. I wanted to challenge myself to do an interior this style. So what better place than the mode of transport I'm most at THE "GLORIOUS" TTC SUBWAY SYSTEM.

Heyyo, here is a recent illustration for Rogue magazine on Filipino comic heroes. I was asked to redraw some classic characters and put my own spin on them. Huge thanks to Miguel for the awesome project! Inprint version and below a quick sketch with the layout. I was lucky enough to visit the Rogue offices during my trip to Philippines last year and thank Miguel Mari and Miguel Lugtu for their awesome hospitality.

I've been trying out some different things recently with the Ebony Pencil. I was never really big into shading in my illustrations. I just really relied on the linework most of the time. However when I'm sketching I really have fun shading. So I'm trying to experiment more using shading in final pieces.

Here's a drawing of Brandon Jennings, one of my favourite pointguards in the NBA. Why? ITS SIMPLE, he's the best guy on my fantasy basketball team (YOU KNOW IT).
