From Me To You...

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Show...

Here are my pieces for the "Black Is Not A Colour" art show.  Each artist chose a colour to work with, mine being orange.  It was a lot of fun to be involved in the show and hats off to my friend Darren Ward for going through all the trouble of organizing it all.  It was a great night and there were some really great pieces there.  The show runs until the 18th of December at the Art Flow Gallery here in Ottawa.  

Tis The Season...

I'm really excited to let everybody know that a selection of my artwork is now available online. There are a bunch of options ranging from prints on paper to canvas to fully framed prints. I'm trying this out for a bit to see how it goes. There is a link to my gallery on the right hand side of my blog or you can click here: My Online Shop. More artwork will become available as it's created so please check it out often!

Here's a slick little poster done by my good buddy Darren Ward for an art show I'm in at the Art Flow Gallery (Unit 60-838 Somerset Street W.) here in Ottawa.  It runs from December 1st to the 18th.  Get over to check it out when you can, there will be some really great artwork from some very talented artists.

See you there!

Bump In The Night

Here's a piece I'm contributing to a show hosted by O'Neal Pignani at a shop called Static in Portland, Oregon.
The theme is things that go bump in the night and it opens on November 19th and runs until Christmas.  There will be artwork from some great artists on display so pop by if you happen to be in the area.
Edit:
So the show has been postponed to a yet to be determined date.  Too bad, some really good people involved.  I still had a ton of fun doing the piece so no big deal, really.  I'll update with a new date when it becomes available.

A Night Out At The Movies

First off, I'd like to thank my friend Kyle Marshall for putting together a great show last night and for asking me to do some artwork for it.  It really was a great collection of varied works, all inspiring.

I've posted my piece for the show above and in going with the theme of the show I did a take on Bullitt, the idea for which I owe my lovely wife.

Due to some requests at the show I'm going to explore the idea of selling some prints either here or some sort of online store.  Hopefully I can get my lovely wife to help with that as well.

(Thanks also to the mystery person who bought the print last night.)

If anyone happens to be in Ottawa tonight be sure to drop by OZ Kafe on Elgin St. and check out some fantastic work by some great artists working in the animation industry.  I gladly contributed one piece and can't wait to see what everyone else has to offer.

See you there.

Road again...

Here's yet another piece I had in mind after reading The Road. It's great to finally get some of this stuff down.

I'm really enjoying the gloom and doom of all this stuff, but I feel I may need to get into some happier work for a while.

Hope you like.

So I just finished reading The Road. Again. Seriously one of the best books I've ever read.

Nah, it is the best book I've ever read. It lacks the impact the second time around but man, what a story.

Any way, I did a piece a while ago after I read it the first time and after this time my head was filled with imagery. I love the world Cormac McCarthy created and for all you Dads out there, do not pass this one up.

I've got more in the works, but it all comes down to time...
