"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.

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...

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

Dog's Mystery

This is an illustration I did for my pal, Tony Mitchell and his ongoing 'Dog's Mystery' project.
It depicts the part of the story where Mystery (descuised as 'Grey Fox') defeats Bruno the champion and breaks off his horn!

Layouts

I did these a while ago, but I thought I'd post 'em anyway! I'm working on some new stuff at the moment. You'll see...

Thank you to all the people that showed up last night at 'The Upstairs Appartment Gallery'. I was a successful enough to sell several paintings and a print. If you did not get to see the work, the Gallery will still be open for view until Monday January 26, 12:00 -5:00.
