Winter Animals

Some older artwork I found that I don't believe I ever posted.

Blue Whale

Dreamed about drawing, decided to do something simple.

I made the ELTON mascot for AccountAbility Solutions' Equipment Location Tracking ONline Salesforce application.

Chicken or Beef

I have not been doing much wedding art but I am using this on the invites. It's a wedding chicken.

Sunset Bachelor

I developed a generic male character, then felt it would be best to have him look more like an aging mobster who wears suits coloured like sunsets.

Snow Girl

Skunk

Cat Designs

Lady Pirate

Colours are very much toned down in this version. The WIP files have hair which is basically pale green.

Bubble Gum

I sketched this girl last Thanksgiving weekend and I thought it would be nice to do a simple colour version that was fun and not too busy.

Merlin

Variations on a theme of this previous conceptual image. This is not the format I will be working in for the final product but it's helpful to explore the character in a comfortable way of working before moving on to that next stage.

Love Birds

I made these images for two very good friends.

Easter Chalk Art

These are photos of the finished chalk images I did for Jedd's Frozen Custard. The bunnies were for Easter and the flowers are more for spring. Go enjoy them in the space they were designed for and grab some delicious coffee and custard!

Dancing Bunnies

Vector

I did some freelance work for Social Game Universe toward the end of last year. Here is a small sample of my work on that project.

Christmas Chalk Art

These are photos of the finished chalk images I did for Jedd's. Traditional media pieces have the best impact in person, so if you have a chance to go down and see them in person I would strongly encourage you to do so!

Chalk Art Sketches

I was recently contracted by Jedd of Jedd's Frozen Custard to decorate the chalkboards of his cafe with original art for Christmas. These are the mockups I did to work from. Some of the designs look better in pencil! I will post the finished chalk art next time, but you can go check them out in person already if you are in the Toronto area. It was a great experience. Go visit Jedd!

First Nations Character Designs

I was recently hired to do some character designs for a children's video game called The Meeting Place by Bitcasters, a small games company in Toronto. Here are some of the rough works and finished illustrations I was especially happy with! Not all of the designs made it into the game in the state they are here, though most of them were.

I very much enjoyed working on this project! The cultural costumes were especially inspiring. I'd like to try animating some of these designs some day soon.

Using an interactive map quest, The Meeting Place addresses a variety of topics including: bullying, smoking, alcohol, solvents, family violence, suicide drugs, depression and anxiety. The map walks children down paths that they may encounter in their own communities and daily lives, and introduces them to community settings and characters that represent lessons to be learned about making good choices. Content and functionality helps children identify where to go for help in various scenarios. Intended for children aged 10 and older, this program was developed and designed by Bitcasters using CAMH content.
