Heres one that I haven’t coloured yet. This guy just dug out his old sheepskin jacket from the closet and decided to wear it to work. It makes him feel cool and like he could maybe just keep riding the train and have an adventure and meet new people. I thought it’d be good if the poster on the train wall said something like “there’s always room for improvement”.
Even the right path can be riddled with doubt.

Wooweee these two are traveling to Florida, maybe one of them is from there or something. I did this lil piece for a show back in December of 2012 at a nice gallery in Hamilton, Ontario; http://mantacontemporary.com/
I used ink and watercolour and those watercolour crayons for this one, which were quite fun to use.
She is Eastern European, and he must be Cuban maybe. They will be together for a long time, and consider getting a dog together later on.
Notes: 2
She is a little bull archer, not as graceful, but very accurate.
It’s “People With Small Dogs”, but I guess thats an afterthought. I don’t often do stuff without line work, but these little miniatures were fun to knock off! They are about 2x3” each, and some have light pencil drawings underneath.
I really want a dog you guys.
This is “Summertime Snack Attack”. I did the line drawing way back in the summer. Seeing as today was a miserable and oddly rainy sick day for me, I thought I would finally colour and post it as a reminder of good things to come.
This is a mockup I did for a possible mural going up in Barrie Ont. A little looser than I normally work, I am happy with the way it turned out, if even just as a sketch.
I was commissioned to do this piece for a client’s birthday, and being such a universal sorta image, I thought I’d post it here too. I now know the NATO alphabet by heart, even though it doesn’t rhyme!!
The original piece is around 17x36 or so, pen and ink and watercolour on paper- July 2012.
Ramona and Carla, their exhaustion well earned.
pen and ink and watercolour on bristol board- 12x12” for the Square Foot Show 2012
Three friends joking over a chance finding.
This was a pen and ink drawing I coloured in photoshop.
