update

I'm currently working on a rather extensive project that I'm unfortunately not allowed to post anything from (until July), so in order to have an update:

This is why I think moving to New Zealand is inevitable (for me, at least).

Zach Braff Caricature

Yay for Garden State.

Jay Karnes Caricature

This is a quick sketch of Jay Karnes who played Dutch on the tremendously awesome show 'The Shield'. I used Photoshop to draw this instead of my regular program Sketchbook; I think i might like Photoshop better.

Richard Crouse Caricature

This is a caricature of the Canadian movie critic Richard Crouse. Went a bit more cartoony in this one. He has a chipmunk-ish essence about him.

Illustration Friday: Climb

Pushing Daisies Caricature

I'm trying to get more extreme with my caricatures. This is an attempt at Lee Pace who plays Ned on the show 'Pushing Daisies'.

Also, I recently indulged in an hp laptop which has a monitor that swivels and works as a cintiq, but there are giant differences in what i see on that screen in comparison to how the drawings appear on regular screens. This one, for example, had lots of nice shading on it on my laptop, but on here it just looks like a mess. I wonder how one goes about calibrating these things...

Whitney Port Caricature

I'm currently working on a project that I can't really post about, so I thought that I would upload my warm-up sketch of Whitney Port, one of the stars of the exceptionally awesome and horribly bad MTV 'reality' show: The Hills. I'm embarrassed to say that, after discovering this show on a friend's Rogers OnDemand digital tv box, I watched all four seasons in the span of one week. The people on the show are so superficial and self-absorbed, which is why, I suppose, Whitney seems to stand out against all these unlikeables. And now she has her own show called The City!! Which....doesn't air on tv where I am. So that sucks.

The end.

Illustration Friday: Contained

A quick sketch - my entry for the latest Illustration Friday theme: Contained.

A little spin on the classic 'mime in the glass box' routine. This time he ain't gettin' out.

Philip Seymour Hoffman caricature

JOE BLUHM DREW ME!!

This is me, as interpreted by the tremendously AWEsome Joe Bluhm.

Muente Coloured

Muentefering

This is the first of a line of German politicians I'm working on.

Another portrait

It's that time of year... again

Likin' the new template? You can get your own!! The creative genius who designed this one has a whole site full of INSane blog templates. Go check it out!!

And now, a little bit of Christmas cheer...

Coloured Christmas Card Family

all done.

Family portrait

Cartoon portrait for a friend for her Christmas cards. Adding the dogs, then starting on colouring.

Jermaine Clement Painting - Flight of the Conchords

I'm attempting to do a full body painting in photoshop, so i'm going with this caricature of Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords. I've done the B&W version so far, just working on doing colour now.

Bruce Willis Caricature... revisited

I felt as though I didn't do him justice the first time around, so I redid the caricature and attempted to paint in colour for the first time...

Stephen Harper Caricature

Felt the need to draw him after seeing some of the debate tonight.

A Couple o' Jermaines...

These are a couple of quick-ish caricature sketches that I did of Jermaine Clement of 'Flight of the Conchords' and 'Eagle Vs. Shark' fame, most between 10 and 20 mins.
