Summer Festivals


A spread in Beat Route magazine about upcoming summer festivals / concerts. Unfortunately they forgot to credit me and are running a retraction next issue (Cause everyone checks those).  What can I say... Indie publishing

Oscars: The Usual Suspects




Done for an article chronicling the sad trend of movie studios cramming their best fare into theatres just before the oscars. As a result there are usually excellent performances that get overlooked. The idea for this illustration was to contrast the summer blockbuster season with the after christmas season, and sandwich a decent contender between two sure-fits for an oscar.

the Cure Album Review




Done for Beat Route magazine, this was the lead CD review illustration for the Cure's new album 4:13 dream. Not much of a Cure fan. Robert Smith's hair is fun to draw though.

Grizzly vs Snail

Spot illustration in FFWD magazine for an article titled Grizzly vs Snail. The gist of it being that a small species of snail that inhabits the banff hot springs receives more protection than the grizzly bear. The art director was quite deadset on this scale reversal idea, despite several different ideas I submitted. In the end it turned out alright.

Leprous


Sunday, September 21, 2008


Not exactly new but here is another one. My idea for a Lions Gate Film mascot.
So here is the first of hopefully a few new sketches for the time being. The lazy days of summer are gone now, so hopefully that will kick my ass back into gear again.

mauthausen

Inspired by the concentration camp in Austria, which I had the privilege of visiting. It was the saddest place I've ever been.

Swan Song Cover

This was a cover for a book called Swan Song. It is comparable to The Stand by Stephen King in that it deals with the apocalypse and the devil. I was intrigued by Robert Mccammon's vision of the devil as a chameleonic traveller with ever shifting facial features. This image was an attempt to merge that with an allusion to nuclear holocaust. Final verdict: collage is fun.

Cynic

So this is a hypothetical editorial piece I did for an article in Psychology Today about cynical people. The corroded, cancerous head is no more than a husk; a suggestion of a human form. The idea was something I already had kicking around that turned out to be a perfect fit for this assignment. Ultimately cynicism is a defense mechanism, nothing more than a callous developed from repeated pricks and burns. This took it one step further and showed the cumulative effect.
