New Work

I have been post lots of new work over at my blog and have neglected the news form here on my website. Allow meto correct that.


- I am now working pt and doing Illustration and Motion Graphics.

- I got a call from Marta Gold, who had seen my work in Vivid Print and would like to write a story on it for the Edmonton Journal. I was so pleased that I am sure I rambled on for about an hour. She and Candice Elliott (photographer) came over the next day and we chatted and took photos, it was great! You can read the article and see some of the photos here. Yay!

- I finished a two week show In Windamere a new housing development in south east Edmonton.

- I vendered the November Royal Bison Art and Craft Fair. It was a great showing and had plenty of wonderful comments from people visiting. Thanks Josh, Vikki and Jeanie.

- I have a new monthly show up at The Next Act Pub (n of whyte on gateway blvd s). Thanks so much to Saylish for the opportunity.

- Recently I have completed a new painting, actually it is more like a repainting. I painted the river valley some months ago and snapped a quick photograph, then proceeded to paint a portrait on top. It was a retirement gift for a fellow that worked for the city in the river valley. I had so many comments about it that I should have taken better photos for prints. So I went ahead and painted a new version of it.


- In addition I found a neat picture in the Globe and Mail of Walter Gretzky holding a image of my illustration I did for the Canadian Lung Association.



- Also I found this great little post with my painting of the highlevel bridge and trolly.

New mini series

I want to thank everyone that came out to Artwalk. It was really nice to hear from a number of people that they liked my work and that even some had previously bought prints from Vivid Print. It was super nice to have had the opportunity to give several of my prints new homes with wonderful people that came by.

At Artwalk, I revealed two series that I had just completed the first was the Mouse and Reindeer series, and the second was a painting series that I had completed painting of Cityscapes with Christmas lights on the buildings making up ornaments.

MEC Cataloge

Many of my friends and family have been receiving their catalogs from our favorite outdoorsy store Mountain Equipment Co-op. With in these fantastic pages is a spread of a painting I was asked to do for them. I had for many years worked for MEC while in school for illustration, so it feels cyclical to have now painted for them. It was a great honor to work for them in both instances, and hope to do more in the future with them.

My good friend Leroy Schultz photographed the painting for me too.
