A HELM EXPERIMENT

2011-10-05T17:26:00.005-04:00

So this was great fun. I'm most content with the placement; I think it fits nicely in the nook.
Thanks Doug for the skin donation and thank you for peeking!

This guy Tobias Rochman is still in Montreal I believe and is providing the public with some really excellent hunkering down and gettin some work done tunage. the ladies on his latest episode are SUPER repping! so good! Irma Thomas and Patty Smith! maybe you people will enjoy this as much as I am.
It's fall. all the animals (humans included) are getting ready to hibernate. time to get creative and crafty!

I'm quite surprised by my level of productivity today in relation to my level of hung-over-ness. Yay me.
These were really super fun to draw. Excited about this.
thanks!

Common, one of the best emcees in this wide world of ours.
(Shout out to my little sis; she'll be crackin' mad backs soon!)
So here are some pictures I'd like to share from some of my recent explorations:
New office space is rad. sun, sand, ocean, dogs, boats, good tunes. Not much more a gal can ask for.
Ya gotta buy a chandahleear!

Brotown radness at Interurban Gallery.
Thanks for looking, I'll add some recent drawings tomorrow.

WE BITE

2011-08-17T13:18:00.004-04:00

There are a lot of metalheads here; they're very charming. Inspired by some of their dark imagery lately (but I'm not very good at being a bad ass).

TEAM ZISSOU

Imma go on the record and state my opinion that Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is thee best film ever made. Wes Anderson is totally the best.

I really want to make a cougar joke, but that'd be inappropriate. I copied this illustration by Adolf Loos. His is way better. My guy's mouth is a little messed up and gets a bit psychedelic, but I kinda like it that way.

I AM ALIVE

2011-06-02T23:15:00.004-04:00

wooooahwa it's been a while, luckily no one noticed. I've been in transition, starting my 'grand adventure/exploration'. So far it's taken me to the other end of my country, true north. strong and free. Everything smells really darn good, and is really wet.
Old news but here are some photos of a fruit I drew on before I left Mile End. It was a 'welcome to the hood' gift of sorts for Dominique Bodkin who recently opened Bodkin Tattoo (55 Bernard ouest). Awesome inspiring lady with an incredible shop, GO check it out. Just as I was shipping out, she was setting up shop.... I'm just glad our paths managed to cross.

This is the original un-cleaned up sketch to the prize eye I posted the other day. It's been buggin me for reasons unknown... I like it better in my sketchbook?

Clip art should get more respect. I can't tell you who originally illustrated this lovely lady, as they were given no credit, but I do feel I have made her 'my own'.

SEA DEVIL LADY

2010-08-28T13:22:00.005-04:00

This is a study/blatant copy of the most glamorous mermaid I've ever seen by the superbly talented René Gruau. His line work is simply. Amazing. His version, of course, is much superior to this.
Man. I really miss the ocean.

“I still paint graffiti because I genuinely think the side of a canal is a more interesting place to have art than a museum, and the fact of the matter is, if you exhibit in a gallery you have to compete against Rembrandt, but if you paint down an alley you only have to compete against a dustbin. I guess it’s the art equivalent of hanging around with fat people to make yourself look thin.”

This is Marcel Soudre. He was a diver with Jacques-Yves Cousteau on his shark expedition. I think he looks like a fun guy.

Marcel Soudre. Fasciné par la pêche et les appâts, ce fut l'un de nos plongeurs pendant l'expédition «Requins».

If I worked at Blockbuster I'd file it in the Documentary/Horror section.

I should let ALL of my legions of fans and admirers and stalkers and groupies and followers and minions and supporters and worshipers and entourage and attendants and and... general cool peeps know: I finally managed to figure out how to make a website!

My new site is kind of like the front of a mullet: business time. And this 'blog' here is more like the back of a mullet: party. But enough about mullets, please go check it out and then pay me to make things for you!

My friend Greg from Cape Breton introduced me to the term 'Road Rocket'. I thought it was such a classy idea that it needed to be applicable to sophisticated hard liquor drinkers alike.

I'm selling it, so if anyone wants to fill this puppy up with some screech and hit the road— drop me a line. Open to tradesies!

Why does digital photography suck? Because idiots like me can accidentally save over all of their 'negatives'. Which means all one is left with (luckily) are crap lo res images. Balls.

I much prefer tangible technology.

JOLLY SKETCH

2010-03-23T15:58:00.004-04:00

I've never really been drawn to draw skulls but figure since I want to be a pirate when I grow up I'll need to know.

(And sure, pirates go to the library too. It's 2010!)

The lady is a pimp. Sorry, that may be a stereotype towards canes.

I've been drawing Sarah Bernhardt a lot lately but only because she had some awesome costumes and fannnntastic silhouettes. Mucha knew what was up.

SORRY LADY

2010-03-08T22:42:00.009-05:00

I don't know why I drew this. Actually I do: to practice drawing architecture. Hence why I'm not bothering to fix her face. She's got hip little sunglasses and a fancy little cardigan though, so she can't bitch about her hands and face.

CALL ME CARDS

2010-01-14T13:15:00.005-05:00

I tend to do things the hard way. My first round of "business" cards were completely hand made. 2 colour screen-printed, painstakingly glued together with rubber cement and sliced with an exacto. Fun and in my budget: yes. But then I learned that "time is money" and this was far too much effort for a piece of paper that can be easily disregarded. Bad for business. I'm trying to be better at business. Thus machines must come into play. We'll see the results in 2-3 weeks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2010-01-04T09:11:00.005-05:00

Screen-printing. Experimenting. And kind of pleased with my "mistakes".

KISS

2009-12-16T13:44:00.003-05:00

This is the beginning of something. Progress actually, as I originally started these graphics back in University (can't remember what for — fun? seems like something I would do...)

Critiques are welcome. I'm not part of the Army but I reckon their makeup is accurate?

A SPICE RACK

I found a spice rack and fixed her up right good (y'all). This is a dramatization sketch of her:

TOMFOOLERY

Just a sketch that wouldn't fit into my sketchbook. The girl is drawn from an illustration by my grandmother's friend, Peggy Munroe.

TEA TIME

2009-11-25T21:52:00.007-05:00

Some process on a Tea Time pattern. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, original idea was for a bodum cozy but thinking more about a serving tray now.

"Ain't no party like my Nanna's tea partay."

SHOE LAD

2009-11-24T12:38:00.010-05:00

Let me show you my sketchbook.
This little fella is not a pirate, I think he just has an eye infection (probably the old pink eye). I like how confident he is to wear such flamboyant boots. My guess is they're made of patent leather, but the shine doesn't really come off so clearly in this depiction.
