Illustrator of the Month

I'm exited to announce that childrensillustrators.com has chosen me to be their illustrator of the month! I consider it a big honour considering the the wealth of talented illustrators who are members of the site.

Keep the Heat Apocalypse Background

I was recently commissioned by the infamous Alex Negrete of Keep the Heat to create a new web background in celebration of hitting 300,000 subscribes. It's always a lot of fun working with Alex on these since he always has creative concepts and gives me a lot of room to play.

David McCandless: The beauty of data visualization

I saw this posted on illustrationmundo, and though it was brilliant. He makes graphic design seem much more profound than I ever conceived. Enjoy, and check out more Ted Talks.

There Was an Old Lady...

If you seek out the latest issue of Humpty Dumpty Magazine you'll find the above illustration by yours truly on the back cover. It accompanies the poem New High Rise by Vera Koppler.

Stay tuned as I was asked back by U.S. Kids Magazines to create an illustrated spread for Turtle Magazine which will be out this September!

Singing Science - Owl Magazine

I love it when work leads to more work! After creating the lizard puzzle spread illustration for the fabulous Canadian children's magazine chickaDEE, their sister magazine Owl contacted me for the the above spot illustrations.

Owl is for a slightly older crowd and the illustrations were for a feature on the science of music and singing. It was a big challenge making all that anatomical stuff!

The Elephant in the Room

Here's a piece was completed last week. The end client is in the business of helping medical pros with their organizational systems, and the elephant refers to changes coming down the province's pipeline that nobody wants to deal with until it's too late.

Thanks to Randy at Mythographics for being fun to work with on this one. I was actually able to meet him over coffee a couple of times. It seems that it's a rare but pleasant occurrence that I can meet the people I collaborate with.

Stolley Children's Hospital Campaign

I was really happy to get this gig doing the illustration work for The Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation's new campaign. The campaign will continue with phases 2 and 3 where you'll learn what happens to Ethan.

It's a really fun project to work on, and definitely a worthy cause. Props to the crew at g[squared] for being the masterminds behind it all.
