Once again, Pop Mythology opens on the 18th! The reception starts at 8:00pm, I hope those of you who live in and around Victoria can make it, it’s shaping up to be a great collection, in my own (not necessarily objective) opinion!
For those of you who collect art, or are just looking for something nice to adorn your walls, there will be a huge selection of new works available for purchase. And if you don’t quite have the budget to buy large pieces of original art, don’t despair! There will be a lot of smaller, more affordable pieces in this collection that I’m extremely proud of, as well as prints of “Small Moments”.

Exciting news! “Small Moments” prints have arrived and they are stunning! Printed by Loupe Imageworks here in Victoria, they perfectly capture the vivid color and crisp detail of the original art. They’re 11″x14″ and printed on a thick, ultrasmooth, archival watercolor paper with a 0.5″ white border around the edge, and each one is hand signed on the back. They’re available now in my Etsy shop!

This is another piece for the Los Angeles Times book reviews section – the book is called “Apparitions and Late Fictions” and it’s a collection of short stories loosely connected by themes of death and mourning.

Pisces, the second of the two zodiac sign illustrations for Garmany magazine! Another fun one to do – I’m a big fan of koi fish, and I wouldn’t mind owning this dress either…
Here are some detail shots:

I was comissioned to do another two zodiac signs for Garmany Magazine, this time Libra and Pisces. I’ve now done 6 of the 12 signs, and I just love doing them – I’m always given a lot of freedom to come up with whimsical concepts and indulge my inner fashion illustrator. Fun fact: the bracelets in the picture are based on ones I bought in a market in Mali – they’re made of horn and I always get compliments on them.
A number of people have expressed interest in buying a print of their sign, so I’ll be getting some made up soon, stay posted! The signs I’ve done so far are: Leo, Capricorn, Taurus, Aquarius, Libra and Pisces.
And now some details from this piece:

Just a quick announcement to let you all know that I have a new art show called Pop Mytholgy coming up at The Fifty/Fifty gallery in Victoria BC. The opening reception is on March 18th, and the show runs until April 3rd.
It’s going to be a great time – there’s going to be lots of new work that I’m very excited about showing, so if you live anywhere near Victoria I hope you can stop by!
I’ll be posting the art online as well, so that those of you who can’t make it in person can still have an opportunity to purchase art if something strikes your fancy.
I’ll also be posting sneak previews in the weeks leading up to the show, so stay tuned!

Chimera is a graphic novel project I’m working on. It’s kind of a dark, epic fairy tale set in a fantasy version of the 1920s.
Chimera is just the working title, it could change – the project is pretty nebulous right now, and going pretty slowly since I’m only working on it between paid illustration jobs. Right now I’m putting the finishing touches on a script for Book 1 (I said it was epic, right?), and doing a lot of these rough watercolor concept art paintings to work out character designs, environments, color palettes, and just general inspiration.
So over the next few months I’ll be posting many more little concept art pictures like this one, and hopefully some finished pages!
