Typical Vancouver Day

This is just a little cartoon of a typical scene in Vancouver. Mostly I just wanted to draw a yoga-obsessed, Starbucks-drinking, croc-wearing Fake-N-Bake type person I see regularly in my neighbourhood. 

Puppy Painting

This is a painting of my family's two dogs that I did for my mom for Mother's Day this year. The bigger puppy died 2 years ago, and the smaller one is going on 14 this year and isn't doing so well, so I thought it would be nice to commemorate the happier times when they were together for my mom who adores them.

Sarah Jessica Parker Caricature, part deux

I kind of gave up on this one, figuring it was better to take what I could from this one and move on to the next. I think I'm going to look into upgrading my painting skills, seeing as how i have none at the moment. 

Sarah Jessica Parker Caricature

This is still in the very early stages. I'm working on a whole new series, and this is the first in that line. Lots of tweaking and colour still to go, but I haven't been posting very often as of late, so i thought i'd throw something in the works up here. 

It seems that everyone considers SJP to be ugly, but there were many nights in the late 80's when I would go to bed hoping I'd wake up looking like her. Especially after seeing her in 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun'. I think she has one of the raddest faces.

Bearded Lady

This is a painting I did for an art show with the theme of Olde World Carnival.

I'm finally getting around to having my own website. Here's the link:

There's nothing up there just yet... but now you can add a bookmark to your 'Favourites'! woop woop.

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.
