I was looking through some old artwork and found this. Its background characters from my grad film I did back in 2007. It all seems so long ago...

2010-10-15T17:52:00.007-04:00

I remember growing up and always being forced to get the same old haircut again and again. But one day, I begged and pleaded with my parents to get a haircut I wanted. They eventually agreed, and the result was a shaved head with bangs.

A random barbarian sketch to keep the blog alive.

2010-05-04T15:10:00.004-04:00

Last night at the gym I saw a guy running on a treadmill with his arms at his sides, like he was some strange bird trying to take flight. He was also wearing acid washed jeans.

>The ice cream bike burglar.
One summer as a kid, there were a string of burglaries in my neighbourhood, it ended up being the ice cream bike man. I don't know all the facts, but kids would say the police found popsicle sticks at a bunch of the crime scenes. Fact or fiction, I have no idea, but he was never caught. By the time the police figured it out he was long gone, off to pilfer another neighbourhood.

>Summer of '89 Lock & load! Me and my brothers ready for another typical summer day. Notice the Super Soaker 300, back then it was the most advanced technology a kid could get their hands on.

Mongolia Land of the Great Blue Sky

I stayed in Gers for the majority of the trip.

Inside a Ger, the roof represents the sun and its sunrays.

A nomad we met along the way, he was herding his camels’ home. He was just as curious about us as we were about him.

4-wheel drive came in handy when we drove halfway up a dormant volcano.

Pit stop in a small village.

Meeting a nomad family.

The family home, about 9 family members live in an area the size of my own room.

A small portion of the family, husband, wife and two of their 4 children.

Sometimes it really felt like I jumped in a time machine.

Boys and their Yaks.

Local horse race.

The roads stretch on and on.

Relaxing outside my Ger. Thanks to Rebecca for this last photo.

Finally, after months of anticipation I’m off… off to Mongolia! I’m excited and nervous about the unknown, but that’s what it’s all about right? I’m off to roam the countryside, live with the Nomads and eat foreign delicacies. My bag is packed, my pencils are sharp and my camera is ready to go! Here I come!

One of the few finished pages of an unfinished comic, it seems every time that I decide to sit down and work on this, life gives me a barrage of menial tasks and I’m forced to put it on hold…

2009-06-03T01:51:00.000-04:00

Went on a 7 day hiking trip with a bunch of friends recently... coincidentally we managed to plan our trip perfectly in sync with the black flies. The HEIGHT of the black fly season in fact. Now I've done a lot of camping growing up, but I never EVER experienced anything like that. Luckily, the weekend was saved by one of our friends having a cottage only a few hours away. So what seemed like a doomed expedition ended up being even better! Funny how that happens...

2009-04-13T14:50:00.000-04:00

Story sketches/beat boards for an idea. I decided to work in grayscale so I could concentrate on composition, mood etc…

2009-03-17T17:55:00.000-04:00

Yes, a very simple design. But more than that it was a test to see how clean I could sculpt. Overall I was happy with the outcome and also a bit surprised how much effort it took to sculpt a smooth and symmetrical character. I’m hoping to sculpt something much more ambitious in the future.

This was a commissioned sculpt I did awhile ago, its Captain Ahab.

SoccerSwarm

I used to help coach little league soccer (football to the rest of the world), and always found it hilarious how the kids would swarm around the ball.

Foot Soldiers

Been a little busy lately, most recently just finished working on a project for Sony. So here’s a couple things I did while working for them.

Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum

So here's a concept piece for an idea i've been knocking around. It's a bit of a departure from my regular stuff, but it basically takes place during the Crusades. Which one? Well that's still to be decided but perhaps i'll post some more stuff soon.

2007-08-25T13:50:00.000-04:00

Ok, so here a second sculpt, the Dodgeball Dork.

2007-08-10T18:39:00.000-04:00

It’s been awhile since I last posted. I admit it’s often due to my laziness, but let’s say for a change of tune, its cause I was over in the UK. I spent most of my time in Scotland so here’s a pic from the top of Duncryne Hill where the Highlands meet the Lowlands.

But this wouldn’t be much of a post if I didn’t show some art. So here something totally different, meet The Chef.

It's been along time since I’ve posted, almost forgot I had a blog. Lately I’ve been fooling around with pastels and here’s the result, some concepts for my grad film. I think I’ll try and do some more story sketches, so stay tuned.

Finally, a new post.

2006-02-25T00:52:00.000-05:00

I’ve been busy workin on a film with a few classmates called Sandman. Here’s a couple BGs from it, the pencilin is by Pierre Luc (with a bit of Ray Xu in the hallway shot) and the colours for them both are by myself.

2006-01-26T19:47:00.000-05:00

I've been really busy lately so I've been forced to update with old art.

Zombies!!!

Anyone who knows me at all would say “it’s about time!” And I would agree... it is.

2006-01-04T00:03:00.000-05:00

After a couple weeks of not drawing I’m back with some simple Photoshop which is inspired by my favorite Japanese artist/animator Koji Morimoto.

Another bully… but this time with a slushy.

2005-10-25T20:06:00.000-04:00

As I promised, more bullies.

2005-10-25T19:50:00.000-04:00

Welcome to the inner most sanctum of my thoughts, or lack of, just some kids doin things kids do… what else can I say…
