Finally concluded my serialized graphic novel 'Bad Beat City' . Time to start shopping this baby around and hopefully procure a publisher. I'll keep ya posted.
Just finished putting the final touches on a 3 page strip for Vanity Fair UK , will post that soon.
As always, thanks for stopping by.










Jean Machine :: In Store Billboards

Here's a couple of the 8 pieces that were done for all Jean Machine store locations in Ontario. A fun gig. Naturally I had to pump up the color palette to give them more Oomph . Still have to get to a store and have a look at the final product. The largest was roughly 4.5 ft X 10 ft .

Wall St. Journal :: Holiday Themed Crime/Mystery Books

I love getting gigs like this one that thematically embrace a lot things I enjoy drawing. The article reviews soon to be released Mystery & Crime novels and non-fiction books that thematically overlap with the holiday season or that may be potentially ideal stocking stuffers . One of the aforementioned books ,Catherine Corman’s “Daylight Noir: Raymond Chandler’s Imagined City” , may be a book that eventually I pick up myself , unless of course it shows up in my stocking ;-)

The color scheme for this piece was inspired by travel posters from the 30's & 40's that promoted tourism to California. Enjoy !


For myself , I did a B&W version to see how it would translate. It's much more evocative of the genre & period , but I think wouldn't necessarily have the same visual impact when printed on newsprint.

Baltimore Style Mag :: Sending Food Back

An enjoyable piece to illustrate , retelling a range of humorous stories by waiters , chefs & Maitre D's about what lengths some people will go to , to get a free meal or grandstand at a restaurant.

It was done in my more limited palette style which I hope to do more pieces like in the future.

Canadian Lawyer Magazine :: Saving your Pension Fund

Being neither an Economist nor a Lawyer , I'm loathe to try and elaborate on or summarize the content of the article , suffice to say , it entails the preservation of one's 'DB' fund , a type of pension subsidized by employers.

I can't seem do illustrations with water , without getting all Hokusai on them . Enjoy!
