Is it true?

There's an urban myth that states it takes 7 years to digest gum. Is it the truth? The answer on next week's post! (oh, the suspense) This painting is part of Argyle Fine Art Gallery's 'Urban Myths and Legends' show on Tuesday September 22nd in conjunction with the Atlantic Film Festival.

Spiritualism?

This painting is a donated piece to help the cuase of the Canadian Mental Health Society in their annual 'Mosaics for Mental Health'. This year the theme is 'spiritualism'. So what did I come up with? Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde - the 4 Pac-Man ghosts! Anyway, I painted the pink one...

This is my take on the movie 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes'. (Even though I've never seen the movie. Which is probably VERY apparant to anyone who has. Oh well...)

I gave them all names too. Left to right: Victor, Rico, Vinnie, Gino and Pauly.

THIS TUESDAY NIGHT (July 14^th), come down to the Seahorse Tavern in Halifax for an evening art with myself and my pal, Derek Murphy. We’re exhibiting and selling paintings based on films and movies. (The painting above is one of the pieces for the show.)

Head Sketches

Here are some more head sketches for ya. Drawn on the worst paper I could find.

I'm keeping busy right now creating paintings for a collaborative show in a week and a half with my pal Derek Murpy (his blog is linked on the side). We're producing original works of art based on films and movies. You won't want to miss what we have in store, so come down to Halifax's Sea Horse Tavern on Tuesday July 14th and be amazed!

"The Bean Scene"

This painting is part of a group show of paintings/artworks that will be on display and for sale at Paper Chase Cafe in July. Acrylic on wood panel canvas, 24"x12".

Pizza Corner

Locally, the intersection of Blowers and Grafton St. in Halifax is known as 'Pizza Corner'. This is because 3 of the 4 corners have different pizza places situated on them. They stay open late and cater to the night crowd. Maybe I'll draw the other 2 at some point - just to be fair.

The UAG (Upstairs Apartment Gallery) is hosting a Rock & Art show tomorrow night at the Rock Garden on Hunter st. Local bands are playing and the art featured is all band/gig posters

by various artists. Admission is $3.

My Little Phony

These were given to me one time as a joke, so I thought I'd revamp 'em and sell them at the last UAG show. The 'Goth Pony' sold almost immediately.

'Goth Pony'

'Fresh Air'

People Sketches

"A Clockwork Orange"

Yet another visual pun (and film refrence) brought to life by my unyielding sense of humor. You will notice the numbers on the clock are bleeding - that's because it's a blood orange! Alright! Alright! I'll stop...

'Quarrel in Coral City'

See you at the show tonight - 2420 Agricola st. Halifax!

Screenprinting fun!

Screenprinting is something I've always wanted to try and last weekend I got the chance. My pal Geordan Moore and I screenprinted the posters I designed for the next Upstairs Appartment Gallery show on Friday May 22. I thought I would post some photos of the process.

The Whiskey Kisses

This is a poster I did for a musical performance coming up at Argyle Fine Art. Should be a great show! You can listen to some of the band's songs here: http://www.myspace.com/thewhiskeykisses
