Penthouse, erotic fiction illustration
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

This is probably my favorite piece of work this year. A fullpage and spot for Penthouse, for their erotic fiction section. The piece was about a lady who enjoys diddling herself on planes. She gets found out by her hunky seat-neighbor, who proceeds to literally give her a helping hand. Perhaps not the most intelligent of stories, but certainly one of the more entertaining things for an illustrator to work on!
Acco laptop skins illustration
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

These were done earlier in the year for Acco Brands. A bunch of illustrators were asked to create designs for laptop skins, and these were the two I made. I’m not sure if they are available for sale yet, but if they are I’ll make an announcement!
New work – Seattle Metropolitan

The final days of free money
This was a fun little piece that was rushed out over a weekend. The article for Seattle Metropolitan was titled ‘The final days of free money‘ and it was about some financial incentives that were about to run out. I just went with the concept the art director had as the time was very tight; we decided on Cinderella theme for the piece.
Twitter elections
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009Little spot I did a while back for Seattle Metropolitan. They had a reporter covering a local election completely by Twitter, so the art director asked for a Twitter-esque bird to be pecking on a Blackberry.
New work, Hyphen Magazine
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009Did this a couple of months ago for Hyphen magazine. It was a fun piece to work on, about hipster scam artists – basically people who seem really cool and ‘alternative’ who really are just scammers who ‘borrow’ money from their likewise trendy (or wannabe-trendy) friends to pay off their debts or else fund their lifestyle.
Updates galore – Eating Well, Kayak, Know
Sunday, July 19th, 2009Been very busy with work over the last couple of months (at least I think it’s been a couple of months, I’ve sorta lost track of time). Am STILL really busy, which is a good thing all things considered. Am currently working on something for Oxford University Press, as well as several other things.
Anyways, here’s the new stuff that’s been added to the site:
Eating Well – Nourish
For Eating Well magazine, in the new ink brush style. Very happy with it. It’s about the joy of growing and eating your own food. I love food. Even though I don’t eat all that much.
Kayak – Summer in Canada spread
For Kayak’s summer issue featuring Monty Moose.
Know Magazine – Baked Alaska
For Know science magazine for kids. About the discovery of Baked Alaska. More food, strangely.
New work for Seattle Metropolitan
Sunday, June 14th, 2009Worked 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!
New work for Salon magazine
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009



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.
Illustration for Pearson science zoo
Thursday, April 16th, 2009
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.
