  This is a Bruce Willis portrait I started a few days ago at the request of a pal.This has been too much fun. Almost done, obviously still in progress. Still need to fix some stuff.  Will post a pic of the finished portrait! 

In the meantime, respect yourself.

          

Cool Pumpkin, dude.

Lots of cool upcoming stuff for me. I will be tabling at the Broken Arts Fair which is being held in March of 2012. I'm really excited about it as the last one was a blast. Also in the new year, I will be involved in a collaborative project with my very good friend, Sarah Felgemacher. More on the details of that later.

Gouache and pencil crayon.

Gouache is kinda cool. We take it one day at a time. Working on making some handprinted christmas cards soon. Cleaned out my print portfolio and found some crucial A.P's. Might post them soon.The basement is freezing today, but it's really nice to have a space to work without interruption.

Soundtracked 22

This is a poster I made for a wicked show that's happening in Oshawa on the 26th. It's being put on by my good friends Broken Arts. Odonis Odonis is playing and if you haven't heard them already, I highly suggest that you check 'em out because they are super gnar.

While I'm at it, this is another poster I made for a previous Soundtracked show for Broken Arts.

More Macho

These are some drawings I'm putting in the Macho Man art show, which is in like two weeks or something at The White House gallery.The original drawings I had in mind were ripped to kingdom come during one of my many moves. No big deal. These are pretty cool too. In fact, I even like them better.

While hunting for the originals, I came across the last copy of  theWWF Wrestlers zine that I made a few years back. It was always my intention to do a Volume 2 but it sort of fell to the way-side, and now more than ever with my wrestling tape collection growing and making all this Macho Man art, I feel that it's necessary. And especially since I missed tabling at Canzine this past Sunday, my heart's been pining for some quality zine'ing time. Seems I've got crucial book-making to do.

Amazing




                                                Make drawings you have no recollection of. Stay wasted.

We discovered my dog has tumours in his mouth, so I painted him this picture to cheer him up.

New painting: Bart takes issue

 

Acrylic 8x10

Some Nu's.

Working on the cover of Broken Arts: Now or Never first issue. Featuring the faces of the late, incomparable Strange Peaks. Also doing the zine's cd insert featuring all the Strange Peaks recordings.With any luck at all, this will all be done by tonight and I'll have it posted here in a couple of days, along with a few stupid drawings I've done here and there in the past few weeks. I haven't really been up to much drawing wise since the end of the summer turned out to be rather enjoyable and full of fun shit to do. Little bummed that I didn't use the time to work on my new zines but what the hell, y'know.

My favourite season approaches and this means a few things. For one, it's time to start pulling out the ugly sweaters. Two, Fall means that I can hibernate which therefore means that it's time for my annual Roseanne marathon. Three, I am usually super productive and full of good vibes and ideas.

More soon.

Jugburger

A wizard has turned Jughead Jones into a hamburger. Is this awesome? Y/N

Half naked and sad: It's too damn hot.

        Heaven bless those ugly girls and their rainbow powers.

Good things afoot.

I will be tabling at the Broken Arts Fair, selling all my neat things alongside a merry band of sweethearts and exhibitionists. Broken Arts is a collective of writers, artists and musicians in Oshawa and we want to show you that local art and music is awesome. We will melt your minds, your hearts, and your faces!
This I pledge to you.

YES! My new zines will be available this time. Attention Span and Food Reviewer.

Lots of other vendors & friends selling magnificent things,  FRIDAY JULY 15TH 11-4 at the Oshawa Public Library, McLaughlin Branch. If you believe in supporting local talent you should make an effort to swing by. I promise we'll hang out like real pals. Broken Arts is also putting on a sweet music festival in Memorial Park in Oshawa the day after, free to the public.

And more still to be unearthed from the basement.

Missing TCAF this weekend. What a huge bummer. This is the first time in a long time that I won't be attending or exhibiting. No matter though, lots of gnar' events coming up that are sure to be great fun. Bent Family Summer Solstice Celebration, and Broken Arts Fair to name a few. MORE ON THAT SOON.

I've been listening to a lot of Krallice and Zach Hill/Mick Barr lately & working on some new zines. One is about the YouTube phenom' The Food Reviewer. The other is a chronicling of sorts, of my thoughts through some weird times in the past month or so, called "Attention Span". Will have an excerpt or two up super soon.

I have to update this thing with my newer work for Solstice anyhow. Mass uploads b real.
