CONCERT TIME

Here is another poster for my friends awesome band "Modern Field Recordings." You can check them out here below.

Modern Field Recordings on Myspace and on Youtube.

I love doing posters. I'll be doing a few more for some friends around my town. It's a fun way to keep myself busy in between assignments.

Ciao for now.

the VERMONT 100

Here is another map I did for National Geographic Adventure magazine. I'm not gonna lie and say that I'm pretty new at this map thing. I think I'm getting better with each map I make. I just finished another for National Geographic Adventure that I'll post in a little while. I'm in the middle of another one.

I love the assignments where I get to learn something neat about an area of the world I never really knew about. That's gotta be one of the perks of my career. The chance to constantly learn.

This map is about the Vermont 100. It's a highway that Vermontonians call the 'Skier's Highway' as there are several of the best ski resorts located along this stretch of road. It was great because my Dad and Stepmother live in Vermont so I felt a certain sense of attachment to the assignment. It was a lot of fun to do.

Keep you eye out for the next.

THE OTHER WOMAN

This was for Seattle Business Monthly magazine. It's about how Black Berry devices can cause jealousy in marriages when it seems that someone is more into the Smartphone then they are the spouse.

OKTOBERFEST

Here are a couple drawings I did while at the Oktoberfest Day Parade in Kitchener in my little reporter style sketchbook. I then colored them in digitally.

Enjoy.

ZOMBIELAND

Just saw the movie Zombieland the other night. Great movie. I realized that I don't draw enough Zombies, death, or gore. It's oddly fun drawing this sort of stuff. I think you could see more of this stuff eventually. Just in time for Hallowe'en.

LIFE DRAWING

Hello all.

Here are a few images I did during some figure drawing sessions. I am so happy and grateful that I am able to continue to practice drawing with life drawing sessions. Such a great way to help develop further skills and knowledge that will help with all the other illustration work I do.

Ciao for now
