I've been quite busy and haven't been able to post very much, so I decided to snap some pictures of some of the sketches hanging around my desk.

I was working on the finished drawing of this today, and I will post it very soon.

I was in the studio a while back, and T.Boss was drawing portraits. So I tried my hand at a quick face study.

T-shirt Design, getting close

2007-02-23T00:49:00.000-07:00

Here is something that I have been working on over the past few days. This is getting close to what I have in mind. My idea is that this will be placed on the rib area and spill onto the lower back of the shirt. I am finishing up the ID for the front of the shirt. I will post it very soon.

The Best Game On The Web

2007-01-27T01:36:00.000-07:00

Have you ever played the fortune cookie game? Everyone opens the fortune cookie, reads it, but then adds the same statement after they read the fortune. That was loosely the idea today when sitting at my desk in the studio today looking at a small sketchbook I had purchased a few months ago. I decided that I would fill the entire book with extremely quick illustrations based on random statements followed by a statement that would tie all the statements together. Well here are the first ones, I plan on doing them everyday till I fill the book. If you think of a statement, post it on here and I'll Illustrated it. Ha..this will be fun.

Making up for lost time. I was flipping through some sketches from last month and decided to post this one. Like most of my sketchbook posts it, it represents my favorite part of working through an idea right at the beginning. Not resolved yet, kind of a small contained experiment.

Wow! I know that it has been a long time since my last post. I'm going to have to make up for lost time and double my efforts.

Here are some pictures I snapped of my studio in Edmonton. It's not complete yet, but I'm working on it. The wall at the back of the room will be the projection wall for watching videos and films on movie night!

Expect the next post soon.

So it's about time that I made another post. Apologies to all, I had some technical difficulties. Expect frequent posts from now on.

I am working on a hoody design, I hope to have them completed by the end of august at the latest. I will post some of my sketches for that really soon.

This is a stamp ID that I am working on. I'm excited to get it finished to show off the finished product.

MAY SKETCHBOOK PICS 2006

2006-05-12T13:52:00.001-06:00

I think of a sketch book as my paper brain, everything goes in. For me it is a really honest representation of struggling through the beginning stages of my ideas.
I am going to try and post in the sketchbook section at least twice a week, so check back often.

Rumors Skate Deck Drawings

2006-05-12T11:33:00.000-06:00

Rumors Skate and Snow approached me to design a skateboard deck for their shop. There was a fairly tight time schedule, but I was able to develop a few different ideas for the shop to choose from. In the end the Vamp Sketch was selected, I developed it further and it went to print.

"Kong Deck Sketch from Sketch Book"
Ink, Pencil Crayon and Marker on paper
8"x11"
Notes: A quick sketch with a focus on motion, colour and contrast.

"Rumors ID Type"
Graphite and Pencil Crayon on Tracing Paper
aprox 8"x11"
Notes: This is a type that I was working on to accompany the War Worlds Image if it was selected. I will post a cleaned up version on soon. This may evolve into a T-shirt design.

"War Worlds Deck Sketch"
Pen and Ink, Acrylic Ink, and Pencil Crayon on Illustration Board
9"x14"
Notes: This is the sketch that I was most pleased with. I believe this kind of approach could be quite successful applied to another application.

"Vamp Deck Sketch from Sketchbook"
Graphite, Pen and Ink and Marker on Paper
aprox. 4"x16"
Notes: Super rough to address layout and colour.

"Vamp Deck-Cleaned and Inked"
Pen and Ink on Illustration Board
7"x18"
Notes: From here it was taken into photoshop, where I added colour and Type. The complete deck will be posted very soon
