This is probably my first serious caricature, at least in digital media. The process used here is simple: vector line work, textures were created with photographs, then a final rough toned paper was added to the composition to give it a unified element. I don’t have much more to say about this work other than [...]

In attempt to drag myself out of the ever so persistent creative rut, I decided to do a bit of mix media work. So, in this little illustration titled “Where’s my money?” I went into brush and ink on bristol, tech pens (including orange), sloppy wash, then off to Photoshop. It’s quick and dirty, and [...]

So, once again I’ve been too busy to write anything worth reading… assuming that at some point I’ve written something of modest worth. Ok, continuing with digital illustration assignments, the latest was to design a poster for a theatre performance. To briefly quote: Choose from one of two upcoming performances in the Theatre Arts department and [...]

Well, this is my first (of many more to come) posts on illustrators that inspired or continue to inspire me. Let me know what you think of his work, or if you find similar illustrators out there. Political satire is one of the many popular media themes that is, unfortunately, vanishing and slowly fading away in [...]

Ok, well, I decided that today would be a great day to pump out yet another practice illustration to get the juices flowing before the beginning of the semester (counting the days). So, here it is, “Ultimate Weight Gain Challenge Finalist.” I know, a rather long winded name. The name really doesn’t mean anything, I [...]

Yes, it is true, I finally got off of my lazy rear end (technically I was using it while illustrating) and finally got around to illustrating another comic style work. Now, this one is different from previous works, which I will post in another entry, in the sense that it was not created from scratch [...]

Yes, as the title suggests, this entry is full of sketches and doodles of the past, previous, and current. I figured because of the further stagnation and stretching of entries, I better put something up. Well, in regards to these sketches bellow, I will be taking some of them on to further digital work. I [...]

It has been a while since my last post and it seems that now is a perfect time to showcase some of my earlier film photography. I have been busy with my current job, freelancing (mainly business cards), and finally hammering out my own business cards. Good excuse? I think so. So, I’m currently waiting [...]

Once again, with the loss of my beloved friend (Nikon DSLR) I have brought back another old and slightly forgotten pleasure. This pleasure is a plain old Vivitar v3800N SLR that comes equipped with a macro focusing zoom lens that has a max out on 77 mm. It’s nothing special, if anything it is far [...]
