Digital colour sketch

Here is a digital colour sketch I am working on for a long over due commission piece. Here I wanted to work out how the colours would all work overlapped over top of one another. While working on it, I figured out that painting bare Aspens over top of one another was a challenge on making sure that the colours had enough contrast to not end up blending.

Wedding Invitations

So I was contacted a while ago by these incredibly hip people that wanted me to design up their wedding invitation, along with the RSVP. This is what we came up with! Their wedding is out in the mountains just up my ally after working on the Going Camping series. I used a bear to symbolize his strength and a deer for her grace. I drew from inspiration from the colour palette for the wedding and vintage patches. Since they both love music so much and that they regularly play guitar hero, I thought it would be a fun to illustrate them party rocking out for the back of the RSVP. Congrats to Tim and Erika, all the best (and sunny weather) on your big day!!

New sketch for next Promo piece

So when I was a Kid, my cousin (@chadkerychuck) and I would spend hours playing with Action Figures. Mostly I remember GIJOE being the go to set, and I am sure StarWars was in there as well. This Christmas I was shopping at Toys R Us for presents for my Nieces and Nephew, when I came upon these photos

Awsome right?! Well I started sketching up something that draws on those fond memories of playing away, using our imagination to come up with stories.

Christmas Present

I received an email from a mother that purchased one of my prints for her son. She told me that he was over the moon and bouncing off the walls when he opened the print at Christmas. I am so happy that something that I made can makes someone else so happy.

Thanks Stephanie for sending me this photo!

Kim over at Alberta Venture asked me to do a few illustrations for their edition about living in a active community. I created a spread for the article and I also created an illustration for the beginning of the magazine.

Lots of new stuff.

Hey all, long time no post. I have lots to show you it is probably too much for this one post so I am going to do it over a few.

I had a show in March at SNAP Gallery. I have mentioned before but I lost the post during a hick up with word press. Ah the wonders of the digital age when things just go poof!!! Anyways it was a fun to have the show and it was awesome to see everyone out for the opening night. Here are some pictures of the show as it was up.

Some pictures of my booth set up at Artwalk in July on whyte ave. And some pictures of my Wooden Animal Spirits on display at The Paint Spot.

I also found this cool little video from the nice folks at The Edmontonian. It is rather old but really neat to see!!!

Roger’s illustrations for Connect Magazine

I was asked by Ally at Connected magazine to create some spot illustrations. This was a great assignment where I worked a bit more on creating some characters that really felt they were of the same space/world/style as the background. I was pretty happy with the result. I hope you like.

The Cabin

jblower — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:09:44 +0000

A new illustration that I have been toying around with for a while. I finally found a bit of time to chip away with it. The initial sketch was just the cabin with in the confines of the wild. Then I though with the my personal success on the intergration of the new characters to the illustration, I thought it would be a good opportunity to work them in again. I even put my puppy in it Again I hope you like it.
