Speed Painting Competition

I participated in this local competition last night: North Town Music & Art Wars

This is the first year the competition has run, its an initiative to bring the art and music scene to the suburbs north of Toronto. 

I painted this 18" x 24" acrylic painting on canvas in 2 hours on site.

 It will be on display at the Covernotes coffee & tea house in Newmarket, 222 Main St. where you can vote for my painting! You will  also be able to vote on their facebook group when they put up the poll, or on twitter.

Game Assets

Recently I've been working a lot on assets for the game I'm making... so I thought I'd post a little scene I put together. (click to view larger)

Molly and Kato having a mystical walk experience.

I painted this for my parents for Chistmas. 

Grinch Tree!

I got one of those little potted trees and made it into a grinch tree! :) 

Got the idea from morning television.

Christmas Cards

I made these cards out of bits from magazines for my friends. Stay tuned for more!

Weedy Sea Dragon

I made this painting for art for water. It also makes a pretty snazzy desktop wallpaper.

ISCA convention 2011

I just returned from the 2011 International Society of Caricature Artists convention in St Pete's Beach Florida. This was my 4th year attending the convention and I had the time of my life. Above is the little piece of wall that I got to display the caricatures I made during the convention of other attending artists. 

The art of caricature makes for a very interesting convention, as it is as much about observing and getting to know the people you are drawing as it is about humour and creating the caricature itself. It is social, entertaining and productive at the same time. Plus, you get to get to know other like minded artists, nerd out, and see their processes, and become friends for life. 

This is my painting of Marlo Meekins as a fox.

This is Jert. This year much of his art had gore and blood. He also gets paint everywhere.

 Alberto Gonzalez (above) and Dylan Glynn (below) both look like children and both have beards.

 This is Christy, she is just like Link.

This is Sean Evans.  

 Sean Gardner is an angry bird.
