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

Fashion!

It folds up to make a shopping bag with 4 sides, hence the weird spacing. It is supposed to be for Barney's. In the final, I cut out little bits of their clothing and I made some patterned tissue paper that goes behind. It's pretty cute.

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.

Ghost Bees

This portrait was used for a mock show poster, but I took out all the information in favour of making it just a nice illustration. It's of the lovely twin folk duo, Ghost Bees. They make really delightful music and I definitely think you should take a listen. Here is their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ghostbees

The Villain Show

I'm going to be participating in this awesome show at the Sleeping Giant Gallery in a couple weeks. The theme is villains (as you can see) and there are a whole bunch of really great up-and-coming artists participating in it. The above poster was done by one of the artists, Laura Harte.

Show opens on November 20th, it's going to be on for a week, but if you come on opening night all the artists will be there and I promise it's going to be a crazy fun time. COME COME COME!

The cover of CMYK Issue 45, it's the first with this new layout. Check out my illustration at the top!

Leonard Cohen

Based on a review of his 'Live in London' CD which mentioned that Cohen has the ability to make a giant ampitheatre feel like an intimate experience. Image did get tweaked a bit before print.

this thanksgiving

Me and my sister decided to make some fudge, you know, in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Actually, it was mostly because we wanted to order some delicious looking fudge off of etsy, but it was really expensive and this seemed like a cheaper (slash more immediate) solution.
