Visit to Montreal

I just visited the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and saw some incredibly amazing art work including the Otto Dix exhibition that was up on display.
I took a few pictures that were allowed in some sections of the musuem. A sample is this piece from the Graphic Arts Gallery. Read more...

some free thinking...

I've been mulling over a few new ideas and found an old rough of a spring scene with a few friends eating. I haven't decided whether I want to do the final as a watercolour, digital painting or even finish it, but at least I have the main idea bouncing around - eating sushi and sake with friends.

Fan Expo Update & Canzine update

Just practicing my screen printing skills for the Canzine Festival on October 24th. I'm a huge fan of the Scott Pilgrim series from Bryan Lee O'Malley and just finished the last book. For both Fan Expo and Canzine I've designed and screen printed some of my favourite characters, Scott, Ramona, Kim, Stacey, Young Neil, Knives, Stephen, Wallace, Envy, Gideon and Julie. Read more...

Art is fun and BIG!

With long weekend coming around I'd like to reflect a bit on the past year. Since this reflecting business is going to take awhile I'd rather show the work that my good friend Gab did for the Claireview Subway station back in Edmonton. He and the Edmonton Art Gallery have been working awhile on this huge metal piece and it just looks awesome. Detail of the piece is under the the photo! Oh yes and he loves animals!

Now back to reflecting... Read more...

old artwork turned new!

I just found a watercolour piece I was working on during the summer that I submitted for the Hong Kong Comic Convention (whether it made it there or not, I'm still not too sure).
It's still incomplete but I haven't found the time to add the final touches yet. It's been a while since I've done both some watercolouring and digital colouring together so I hope to pick it up again soon.

The setting is reminiscent of a group of friends/characters I've created, hanging out in a nice place at night while soaking in the ambiance of the outside night life. It's a lot like my place, except with room, furniture, money and not the view of a concrete wall. Read more...

The Social Network and Spill!

I just finished watching both the Social Network Movie - and the animated review on Spill.com
Both takes are extremely enjoyable and I really recommend the movie for its great script and acting and the spill review for it awesome humour!
