Kubrikish

This is a photo of Claudia and Maddy taken at the Toronto Haleconian club. It's very "The Shining" even though it's horribly out of focus. You see, I'm an illustrator because I can't take decent photos. It's a terribly sad state of affairs.

No Voting!

Here's another from the Railroad series. The images from the post-war era are pretty colourful. I want there to be some distinction between the different sections of the documentary so that they have a cohesive look.

Enjoy.

Crow Toes 16

Here's the absolute final cover for the 16th issue of Crow Toes Quarterly. Not too shabby. It's available as an e-zine right now but hard copies will be available January 5th. This is the second magazine cover I've done. I feel all warm inside.

Happy New Year!

Enjoy.

In Progress...

This one's almost done. I need to step up the progress on these, only 13 more to go!!!

Enjoy.

Happy Holidays!

Only a few days till christmas. Happy Holidays to everyone who celebrates them! And to those who don't.... suck a lemon!!!

Gram.

Army Guys

Here's some guys.

Enjoy.

winter sculptures

This is a Santa Claus sculpture made out of a watermelon. Awesome.

This is also a sculpture of a bear that a guy did with a chainsaw. Also awesome.

These sculptures both happened in winter.... which is the other photo.

Enjoy.

Nostalgia

Power Rangers! This is brief documentary by some high-school students tracing the characters in the original Power Rangers. I always watched this show before going to school and I loved it. Looking back on it now though, it was pretty racist... and sexist. Really just an awful show for kids to watch. There were so many stereo types in the show.

Black Ranger = Black dude who break-dances

Yellow Ranger = Asian chick

Red Ranger = Native American Dude

Blue Ranger = White Boy (Double whammy, he has glasses so he was automatically the only ranger that knew how to work a calculator)

Pink Ranger = White Girl (Also, in the firs season or so she was portrayed as sort of an air head cheerleader type)

There were also numerous examples of fat people being stupid.

Anyway. Go Go Power Rangers!

APT - Ep. 5 - "For Those About To Rock..."

This is the closest I will ever come to being a rock star. Weep for me.

My favorite part is that our album is called "These tears are bullets aimed at your head".

Muddy Swamp Part 2!

THe Muddy Swamp sketch that I posted a few weeks ago inspired Christopher Millin at Crow Toes Quarterly to request it as the cover image for their next issue. Sweet!

Obviously I had to do a final of the image since the original was drawn in ball point pen on a scrap of paper. This is the final. Hope you all like it!

Enjoy!

Food!

Here's some fast food. I've had a cold for the past few days and as such I haven't had much of an appetite. Today I had a sub sandwich for lunch and after 2 days of soup and crackers it was about the tastiest thing ever. My cold seems to be going away now. So you can all stop worrying.

Enjoy!

Mostly Finished...

Here's the almost complete poster. I'm going to remove the paint splatts (I know! Taking away my trademark, how gauche!) and add more snowflake pattern. I'm also going to add a wreath like border to make it more christmassy and what not.

Like all the movie posters, I'm torn between drawing in my style and trying to do straight up portraits. I kind of went somewhere in the middle on this one. I'm mostly pleased with the results. Actual final will be posted soon.

Enjoy!

Even More Holidays

This is Dorothy. It doesn't look quite like Judy Garland (as Claudia pointed out) but that's OK because it's really just meant to represent the character/movie. It's not meant to be a straight up portrait. Anyway... the finished product should be up tomorrow.

Enjoy.

Game Time

This is an example page from a game that my friend Liz showed me. In a group of people each person has a page and they write a sentence on it. Any sentence they can think of. Then the paper is passed to the next person who must interpret the sentence as a drawing. Then it is passed again to add a sentence. And so on. The results are often hilarious.

Cranium has just released a version of this game. This news burst our bubble as we no longer felt cool or original. Just another example of the corporate world diminishing our autonomy and removing the "me" factor from anything.

So cynical.

Enjoy!!

APT - Ep. 4 - "The Sweater"

This is episode 4 of the APT. Rogers TV has contacted Kevin about putting this show on the air and possibly budgeting new episodes (?) This is totally crazy but I hope it works out. So cool. Kevin is really happy and excited about the idea. This is his Wayne's World.

More Holidays

Kevin McAlister!!!!!
