Hello darlings!

I am partaking in this show on December 17th. All of the art is based around NES and SNES. Super awesome classic video game inspired art! A & C Games is sponsoring the event and bringing a bunch of rad games to play at the opening. Should be a good time. Please come!

Where: Sleeping Giant Gallery
When: December 17th at 8pm

By the Pound

By the Pound!

I'll be one of the 100 artists participating in this exhibit at Sleeping Giant Gallery. The opening reception is on November 26th, at 8pm, so come out if you're in Toronto!

It's going to be a super rad exhbit. There are 100 artists involved and all of the art is going to be sold quite literally 'by the pound' (specifically at $250 per pound). It should be a pretty exciting exhibit, there are lots of great artists involved!

Bump in the Night

I forgot I hadn't uploaded my work from the Bump in the Night show that recently happened at OCAD Transit Space. Here they are!

Art!

I am still making pictures even though I am not posting here very often!

Here are some things I've been working on:

Molly Walks

This is another little animation experiment I did. Still learning!!

Bunny Jump

This is a little animation (or start of one) that I did. I am basically just learning how to use After Effects... and this is one of my first little somethings!

This Thursday

This Thursday (September 9th) as part of the Junction Art Festival, come out for the Grand Opening of the Chuck Akudu Gallery where I'll have a few pieces on display!

Also, I am working on some art at this very moment so I promise that there will very soon be new posts!! Sorry for the lack of those as of late!

I Live Here Now

Here is my piece for the "It's Meant to Bee" show that is currently on at DatSalon until the end of the month. A bit different for me, but that was the goal of the show!

It's Meant to Bee

Tomorrow night (June 8th) is the opening of a pretty rad show I am a part of called "It's Meant to Bee." It's happening at Dat Salon, and will be up for a month (but you should all come out for the opening, cheap drinks and good company!) The show features 13 artists, and each of us had to create a piece using only black and yellow. It was a challenge but it was a lot of fun, I can't wait to see what all the other artists did!

Check out the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=130827290280689&ref=ts

Here is the flyer for the show (designed by yours truly)

Have a Heart Magic!!

Hey lovelies,
Remember the Have a Heart show I took part in at Dat Salon in June? WELL, check out this video documenting the night, some great work and people, woo!

Click to view video on youtube!

inLimbo

Check out this album art I did for my friends' band inLimbo! They make music and it is pretty rad. Their CD release is on June 17th at Mansion House in St Catharines, so perhaps if you find yourself in the Niagara Region you should check em out.

You can also check out their music here: http://iaminlimbo.com




There is now words all over these images!

Have a Heart

Here are a couple photos from the opening of Have a Heart! They were taken by Dexter Ico. A huge thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting SickKids!!

Also, here is another video, this time with the whole mural. The video is by Josh Glover. Look at me go!

Have a Heart Teaser

First half of my mural at Dat Salon for the Sick Kids benefit show, Have a Heart. It's happening on June 5th, come out!

have a heart

Have a heART is an upcoming art show in support of SickKids Foundation. There are 13 artists involved and we're all donating a piece, with all proceeds going to SickKids. I'm also planning on doing a wall piece at the show so you should all come out and see it! It's at Dat Salon at 442-E Dufferin St (just north of Queen) on June 5th. It'll be a good party, for a good cause!

I also designed the above flyer for the show. You can check out the event on facebook here.

Animal

Here are a couple of paintings I did this year for my painting class.

99 Red Balloons

Apologies about not updating in a while, but I have a few paintings ready to share so perhaps you will all forgive me.

This little painting is for a show at Canteen Gallery in Ottawa. The show features 99 different images by 99 different artists, each 9x9 and selling for $99 or $66 dollars. The show opens on May 14th and runs until May 31st.

Summer Chills

This is an illustration for the magazine Hot Mess. The theme was Summer Chills. FUN!

Click on the image to see it big and pretty.

Spot Illustrations

These three spot illustrations were made for a travel magazine.


This spot was made to accompany an article about a town in Japan that has such an efficient recycling program (34 categories!) that they have zero waste.


This one is for an article about how the Swedish town which is home to the famous Ice Hotel is sinking, and has to be moved a few kilometers away.


This illustration is for an article on the Museum of Broken Relationships.

White Cloud, Buttermilk Sky: Photos!

Here is one of my pieces from the show! The rest are centered around this one!

ALSO, here is a teaser of the work I'm submitting to the show. Yes, these photos were taken with photobooth, and thus are terrible quality. That is why they are teasers.

Fishy Skies

This was an in class assignment, took an hour and a bit.

FISH IN THE SKY! This was originally part of an idea to go with my 'whales in the sky' painting. I didn't end up doing the series.

Solve Everything!

Hey dudes and ladies!

I realize I haven't updated in quite some time, but I assure you I have been making art! I have some pieces in the works for upcoming shows, not to mention being back at school getting me back into gear.

Here is my first assignment of the year, an ad for the mystical magical wonder pill, Solvestra!

Solvestra™, is (as its slogan suggests) a pill that will temporarily solve almost any problem you might have in your personal life.
Are your dog, wallet or keys missing? Perhaps all three? Take a Solvestra™ and instantly know where your missing junk is!
On a plane and the pilot is having a heart attack? Take a Solvestra™ and instantly know how to expertly fly an Airbus A380 for the next couple of hours!
Want to make awesome pancakes? Find a simple, delicious recipe online, make the pancakes and then go out somewhere for the rest of the day, take a Solvestra™, and do something awesome that you couldn’t do without Solvestra™!

Painting Turned Photo!

Hey my lovelies! Remember this piece I did a while back, for the Square Foot Show?



WELL, my wonderful amazingly talented photographer friend Zachary Koski did a photoshoot inspired by it! I'm planning on painting a couple of his photos, and he chose to photograph this painting. Kind of fun! I'm hoping to do a show like this, I think it would be fun. Anyways, here is the image!


There is another photo in the series, check it out on his website: http://www.zacharykoski.com
