Worked on this fun article for Seattle Metropolitan some time ago. Apparently there’s so much caffeine in Seattle’s harbor that the fish have elevated caffeine levels. Don’t ask me how or why someone decided to test this on the bay fish…
Illustration in the mag. no, I’m not pimping JW!
The isssue also had an awesome cover!
Some new work for Salon, which is a specialty magazine for the salons and stylists. It was a very fun job where the editors and art directors decided to go all retro-stylin’! I did a bunch of illustrations for their special business issue, so each piece covered a specific business tip like making the most of photo shoots, increasing counter sales and recruiting. I also did a 2 page comic spread covering ‘a day in the life’ of a Toronto stylist who was trailed by a business expert who gave him tips on improving his business day.
I will be doing my next round of promotional postcards soon, and I thought I’d just ask if anyone would be interested in receiving one.
I’m hoping that by asking, it’ll help reduce waste since I figure quite a bit lands up in a trashcan shortly after being delivered!

This was a delightful project for Pearson I did some time ago (and completely forgot to show it). It’s a zoo that illustrates different kinds of friction (sliding, static… I forget the rest). It was really fun to depict all the different animals and scenarios.
Did this recently for the Alberta Egg Producers. It’s going to be part of a display banner that they’ll be bringing around the province to promote eggs to kids for a healthy lifestyle. We were initially going to a do a large scene of kids doing all sorts of energetic things but unfortunately the time and budget didn’t allow for that. Still, I think we did pretty good with what we had! You can see the final design for the display put together by the art director here.
Some work done for the current issue of Kayak magazine. This time Monty Moose talks about technology in Canada’s history.
Did some work for Kayak, Canada’s history magazine for children. I created the moose, Monty Moose, plus a couple of other spots which are in the magazine. Watch out for more Monty Moose!
Happy New Year! What a way to end the year – this was done for the New Year’s edition of Las Vegas Weekly. It was a rush job that I got contacted for on Christmas (just like getting a present from Santa!). The article is about people partyinh while sober, hence the whole deal with the clubbers holding bottled water. The article was in the print edition of the magazine and their online edition as well.
I’ve redesigned my website with a new layout to make it easier to view my work by categories. Also in the update, new workfor Slice TV, Richmond Publishing, Las Vegas Weekly and others.

I’m reorganizing the blog, and so I’m re-porting the work in progress sketches for the HR Professional article.
Here was the original sketch, and some other ideas I pitched to the editor. I quite liked the one with the words going into the head, but the one they picked was nice too. The article was about basic financial terms for people in the human resource industry.
