Hello friends! Here are some scans from my sketchbook. They are all from September, except the pencil shaded one which is from sitting in the park in the summertime.
Remember this piece? I did it for an article about the favelas in Rio, and the organization "Afro Reggae" which aims to get the youth involved in art and music as opposed to violence and crime.
Well guess what! This piece is going to be published in CMYK Magazine! It'll be in issue #45, which will hit news stands in November. Woo!

So the Wilderness of Manitoba show was this evening, and I heard it was absolutely fantastic (woe is me, I didn't make it until after they played). However (!) they definitely had some really lovely prints of my poster for sale, and I must say, they printed beautifully! I was pretty excited, and I got lots of kind words from people who liked my art. I also picked up one of the Wilderness of Manitoba's EPs, which are . They have a little version of my poster inside, all nice and colour printed (I definitely thought they would be b/w!) I thoroughly recommend all you Toronto folk come out to their CD release on the 21st of August!
So I made a poster for the Wilderness of Manitoba's new CD which is coming out at the end of August! Exciting! Buy a CD and you get one!
They are opening for the Rural Alberta Advantage's CD release on July 30th at the Horseshoe and all you Toronto folk should come and see them make music, because they are wonderful!
