Screenprinting Party

This month some friends got together to have a screenprinting party. None of us are particularly skilled at screenprinting (and none of us had used drawing fluid before) but we had a lot of fun getting messy and making art.

I walked away from the party with this:

Feature on the Artfuls

My work was recently featured on the illustration website The Artfuls.

Check out my showcase HERE.

Fox Friend

This little fella is from November 2010, but I never got around to documenting it until now.

Old Uncle Grampy

This is my grandfather. It's based on a photo taken when I visited my grandparents in England in 2006. I know straight realistic portraiture isn't usually my thing, but I thought it would be nice to work that way for this piece. This painting is currently part of a portrait challenge at Sleeping Giant Gallery. A number of different artists painted/photographed their grandfathers or uncles, and everyone who comes to the exhibit tonight gets to vote for the best piece. The winner gets a free 1 week solo exhibit.

The poster for the event is below. I put that together too!

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!

Bump In The Night

Here is a preview of some work I did for an upcoming show at OCAD Transit Space! More info soon!

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!

Summer Chills

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

White Cloud, Buttermilk Sky: Photos!

White Cloud, Buttermilk Sky

Hello lovelies! I have a show coming up at Hotshot Gallery in Kensington Market. It is opening on March 11 and runs until March 21st. There is a really fab group of artists showing lovely paintings and fluffy cloudy goodness.


This is the poster made by Andrea Manica, who also curated the show!

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.

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

Villains!

Hey lovelies. The opening for the Villain Show at Sleeping Giant Gallery was last night, and I must say it was a fantastic time. The turnout was awesome, so thanks to everyone who came out! I really appreciate it.

Here are the pieces:


Here be Jareth the Goblin King, from the Labyrinth. Excuse to paint David Bowie? Maybe. But David Bowie is fantastic, as is this movie. This piece sold!


This is Hexxus from Ferngully (you know, the movie with the fairies who have to save the rainforest from the foresters...) Pretty much a piece of my childhood.


This is Krang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Totally a kickass villain. The scan is really bad, but oh wellz.


This is Staypuft from Ghostbusters. I know, he wasn't REALLY a villain, but I got way too excited about painting him to really care. I love this one.

Happy Birthday

This piece is going in a show.
