Tour Poster

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

One of my favourite Canadian bands tweeted that they needed a new tour poster, I answered and did this illustration. They didn’t end up going with it but I’m happy with it. I really like the grainy texture too. spot_tour

I was asked to create a logo for this company, really happy how it turned out, all the text is hand drawn.

Cardona by Michou

Monday, January 18th, 2010

You’ll notice this is similar to the post a few down, this was an illustration I created for a local band (and good friends) Michou. At the time there were not going to go with it but after a few months decided they liked the style and subject matter. With direction from the band, a few changes were made and I believe has made this a much stronger design. I’m excited about it and they seem to be too. Check out their blog and website, they’ve launched a campaign to release this album called “The Seven Weeks of Michou” where they release new content (video, music, album art) leading up to the album release.

Vintage SPOTVIN

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I was looking for an old illustration I did many years back and found a whole ton of stuff I did back in college, way too funny.  Here are a few samples. — 1. Apparently this is the type of car we should be driving in 2010, oh god, I think it should be parked right next to my jet pack. — 2. This was a made up logo for a fake sport team, oh the freedom of college and the oodles amount of time spent on one logo. –3. An illustration for a children’s book, I chose The Pied Piper, my favourite illustration was the back page of a bunch of mice drowning, probably not the best subject matter for budding minds. I’ll probably keep posting more now and then.spot_vintage1

Very Sketchy

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Haven’t done any random sketching in awhile until recently. Here is a little example of it. I really do miss drawing and need to make a point to do it more often.

Don’t ask me what it means,  it was created for a client but they didn’t end up going with it. I just like how it turned out.

Nepal Print

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Part of my 2009 SPOTVIN | PRINTS design series I created this poster which was inspired by my trip to Nepal in 1999. I’ve been to many countries but I have a very special place in my heart for this place and its Himalayan Mountains. Kathmandu is nuts, but a must see for any intrepid traveler. The sights and smells are unreal.

Cat and Spider

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

This is one of my favourite illustrations I’ve done in the past, My original intention was for the the little black bug to be a spider but someone pointed out I forgot two of the legs…..right….spiders have eight legs, oops. So in the theme of my last cat related post I thought I’d put this up. FYI: All posters I post on my website are available in 10″x 18″ limited edition prints for $20.

Avatar

Monday, June 8th, 2009

My friend asked me to create an avatar (charicature) of him to use on facebook and other social media sites. I’m pretty happy how it turned out, he was happy cause I was actually able to make him better looking than he is in real life, lole.

Ninja Witch

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

A friend of mine once told me that she was training to become a “Ninja Witch”, this conjured up a bunch of ideas in my noggin and inspired me to start sketching out ideas for this character. I ended up creating a poster along with various logos.
