It's Hip to be the...

Okay, so here is a little taste of the 5-page story that will published in issue #3 of Vehicle Magazine. I don't want to give it away, but it is a continuation (of sorts) from my 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' story (that that was published in issue #2). The magazine will be released in January. I adore the small insert panel of the FM and her goons -- I really wish I had made it more prominent in retrospect. Anyway. I'll post the full colour story in January (after the mag is released).

CBC Radio 'Visions of Comics' Coverage...

A very nice interview with Happy Harbor Comics owner Jay Bardyla about the 'Visions of Comics: Gilbert Bouchard Memorial Art Show' on CBC Radio:

CQ 17...

So, yeah, I was awarded a 'Runner-up' mention for my contribution to Creative Quaterly 17. It's a start.

and here is my interview about the Comic Art Show in Edmonton:

So inarticulate. Whoopsy!

Chester Gould: Death Traps...

This is a poster I did for the 'Visions of Comics' art show at Happy Harbor Comics in Edmonton. I've always wanted to do an illustration taking heavily from Chester Gould's uber-imaginative style. The composition was heavily influenced by an illustration Jamie Hernandez did for the movie 'Divorce: Italian Style'. Regardless, this was a super fun piece.

Sandbox t-shirt designs...

Okay, as some cats out there know I share a studio space with Spencer Goldade at Calgary's Art Central. Last month we put together a t-shirt show. I'm currently compiling a list of colourful characters for a comic book project and used this show as a jumping off point for illustrating these crazy characters names. Dig in!

Absolute Underground...

okay, so I've obviously been kind of busy as I haven't posted anything in a while. Here is a progression from concept to finish of a piece I did for the cover of Vancouver-based magazine Absolute Underground. This was an extremely challenging project as I had to include 4 bands (and 15 band members) and a Halloween theme on the cover. I pretty happy with how this turned out. I'll make sure to add another update when the mag is released (there is also a full page interview with yours truly in the issue).

My website....

I totally forgot to post a link to my new website here. It has been up and running for a while now-- hop on by! I'm told you cats using Internet Explorer will not be able to enjoy the experience as much.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (the comic)...

This is a 5-page story I did for a local magazine named 'Vehicle'. The project was a lot of fun, and turned out to be my best comic book to date, I think. I would really like to hear what everyone thinks of the story. Enjoy!

Batman 1966...

A couple of actor profiles from a book project I am working on: 'The Rise and Fall of the Batman Television Series"

October Crisis...

'The October Crisis' was a major historical moment in Canada. Kidnapping, explosions, murder, and just general mayhem seemed to characterize the event. I tried an extremely different methodology in executing these images, with results that I am very pleased with. The first image details the 'bandit' persona PM Pierre Trudeau used to identify the FLQ. The second is the Canadian military occupying the streets of Montreal (still needs some indication of location). The Third is Trudeau's famous 'Just Watch Me' interview. The Trudeau piece is my favorite, but the most positive feedback I received was for the first and second images. I really like the direction this set is taking me.
