Insect Elf People sprout fourth from a Lovecraftian Horror

LISTENING TO: SUNSET RUBDOWN



-So here are a couple of pieces I have been working on between commission work this summer.
-I wish I worked faster faster faster.
-I just found out I sold four prints for my show at Keep 6, thank you whoever you are!
-I am in show coming up in (August?) at the Whippersnapper. My friend's girlfriend is organizing it and I think it going to consist of a lot of OCAD illustration students.
-In other news, I am taking Jeff Garcia's Screen Printing for Illustrators class this month, so I should have a bunch of new pieces coming up pretty soon.
-I got a H.P. Lovecraft anthology for my birthday, it is infinite times greatness

Perfect Laughter article

LISTENING TO: LIGHTNING BOLT

So I checked my email today to discover that a detroit based website called Perfect Laughter decided to write an article about my work. They told me that they hope "it will soon become a resource for local artists and designers as well as those elsewhere". I looked at some of their other postings and really liked some of the other artists they had featured as well, so if you like my stuff I'd recommend checking out their site.

In other news, I recently made a show poster for the promoter Alex Coleurs (aka. Primary Colors) for a show at the awesome gallery/ store Function 13 in Kensingtion Market. It is not completely done but I'll post it as soon as I get the last few details for the show and can finish it. In my opinion it the best piece of digital colouring I have ever done!

Flashlight Radio album design

So I finished the final layout for my latest commission, an album design for a Toronto indie-folk band called Flashlight Radio. Working with them was so fun and easy, we managed to come together agree on a design and get it made within roughly a week. Flashlight Radio has also commissioned me to do some t-shirt designs for them. They are all fairly similar to the flashlight on the front cover of the EP. I am not sure what colours they will end up settling on but I included a few possible variations.

I did a small zine/ book project for a friend
he made a children's story about his wife for their first year anniversary
and the best part is in return he is buying Bromst on vinyl!

Oh and i am working on another album layout for a band called Flashlight Radio
it should hopefully be done within the next few days

KEEP6 GALLERY SHOW
I am particpating in a printmaking group exhibition at Keep 6 Gallery that is being curated by Alex Froese. The opening is on the tenth and I am not sure how long it will run for. I don't think there is a facebook event or anything for it right now but I'll post the link if and when it gets made.

DONLANDS & MORTIMER ALBUM COVER

I finally finished working on the D&M album layout. They had their cd release earlier this week at the Boat in Kensington Market. I unfortunately couldn't make it out, but I heard it was a very successful night. They are also selling little booklets with all the posters I have designed for them at their merch tables. You should check them out!
