I have a friend who goes horseback riding. It's her birthday today, so I drew a little something for her.

Are you STRONGER than a 5th grader?

Now THAT would be an amusing tv show.

My parents have a Honda NSX(mid-life crisis) and my dad asked me to design a shirt for a summit in Kamloops.
I thought it'd be challenging project as someone not interested in cars. But boy, I tell you...lack of interest can really kill your drive to finish the damn thing.haha

while I was drawing crappy cars I drew this guy.

AKIRA: widescreen edition dvd

2008-02-03T02:57:00.000-08:00

I recently picked up the DVD version of a classic anime.
It's exactly the way I remember it.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up the whole movie.

Depression

2008-01-17T21:48:00.000-08:00

I picked up The Complete Peanuts recently and and after reading through it, I found this strip stood out to me the most.

I was really surprised how morbid the early Peanuts strips were.
On the surface the characters seem cute and happy, but the situations they fall into often express deep feelings of loneliness and resentment.The theme of the comic seems to be: Life is full of suffering, even when you're a little kid.
I admire Charles Schulz's honesty in putting his own personal feelings into his work.Charlie Brown and his friends have a desperate humanity to them that I can identify with.

I did this drawing to show how it feels to be the one person alienated at a party.

Beaver vs. Skull-bot

2008-01-15T18:48:00.001-08:00

I'm actually very pleased the way this one came out.
Especially when you compare the original pencil sketch to the final color picture.

YUCKY CHARMS

2007-12-12T00:47:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted anything in awhile, been busy finishing up on Pucca season II.
So after a long time, I finally got inspirated to cook somethin up.

Like alot of young kids, I became addicted to sugar and cartoon characters for many years. It took me awhile for me to realize that Saturday morning breakfast cereal is just nasty.

I was visiting my mom recently and she gave me a box of lucky charms.I guess she remembered how I liked eating it when I was little.

After eating a few bowls, I felt like my teeth were rotting. I decided not to finish the remaining cereal, but instead use it to make a little art project with colored construction paper.

michael warhol

2007-06-13T01:16:00.000-07:00

i tried a speedpainting of michael's headshot but it didn't turn out too hot, so i sorta made it into an Andy Warhol-type collage. Bleh, I never cared much for Warhol's stuff.

Zombie michael from zombie movie

2007-06-12T23:44:00.000-07:00

Watching the film again reminded me of how much fun it is to caricature my former classmate,

These guys are from stories my brother came up with when he was grade 6. It was fun to go back to these characters after all these years and to try to update them in flash. I'll try to post the original drawings from 10 years ago soon.

I'd like to do him in a winter scene next.

crows

2006-09-11T18:16:00.000-07:00

I was riding my bike the other day and I saw these two crows going at it in front of burger king. Those guys are malicious, selfish bastards. They're worse than the seagulls in Finding Nemo.

I wasn't going to post these until I finished the final, but Sloth persuaded me to put something up for the hungry bloggers, so here it is. Haven't added dialogue yet, and I still have to redraw some panels.

something i sketched recently...

2006-08-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

I just went back to pen and ink, and I tell ya, it's been awhile. I'm going back to a classical pen and ink style for a little comic I'm working on which I will be posting on this blog sometime soon.

Hippogirl

2006-08-07T14:20:00.000-07:00

Lady Yumiko gave me the idea for hippogirl. This is the first photoshop color job I’ve done in awhile. Blah. My brother said she looks kinda Latina.

Liberty Meadows book 4!!

2006-08-02T13:36:00.000-07:00

Just got book 4 of Liberty meadows and it's just the kind of classic cartoon quality I've come to expect from Frank Cho.

If you like cartoon animals juxtapositioned with beautifully rendered females I highly recommend picking this one up!

And here's the usual Canadian content you've come to expect from me. 'Til next time!

Lauren hates video games...

2006-08-01T17:15:00.000-07:00

A caricature of Lauren getting pissed off at a PSP. Easy, Lauren, it's just a game.

forest fire aftermath

Back to skool kid

2006-07-16T22:57:00.000-07:00

I haven’t done anything new recently, but I felt like putting something up for all the cool people who actually visit my crappy blog, soooo, here’s a little kid design I did for a back-to-school flyer at my old office supply job. Blah. The pencil looks messed, but I don’t mind his shoes.

bumper sticker

2006-07-16T22:35:00.000-07:00

This oughta look good on the back of my bumper, eh? Hopefully when people see it, they’ll know better than to cut me off...I am a bitter, angry man. >= (

Oh, Gregory!...

Antfish

2006-07-11T16:40:00.001-07:00

A conversation with my friend at 3 in the morning is the inspiration for this weird little creature.
I asked her this bizarre question:

What would anteaters eat if they lived underwater????

To which she replied, "The answer, of course, is simple...ANTFISH."

A very Pucca-inspired design, don't you think?

Beaver meets beaver...

2006-07-09T02:58:00.000-07:00

I went to a Haida art exhibit this weekend and saw some really inspiring stuff. I really have a deep respect and admiration for this form of art and the culture behind it.
Here’s my beaver examining a beaver by contemporary Haida artist Robert Davidson.

Coming soon...The live action version!!

2006-07-06T14:23:00.000-07:00

...or not. haha, just some photoshop silliness I made during lunch today.

new stuff...

2006-07-02T18:47:00.000-07:00

Working on Skunk-Fu has influenced me to try using gradients instead of outlines to make characters more three-dimensional. This here’s my first shot at re-designing the beaver.

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!
