Today was very productive (drawing wise)

Last night I said I was going to dive right in and draw something... well not only did I go for it last night, but I kept the momentum going most of today... here's where I'm at on the piece I started last night!

Count Down to My London Trip!!!

Only 29 days until I leave for my trip to London. I'm spending New Years and my birthday in England, and I cant wait! Not much else going on at this point, as I havent had alot of time for drawing. In fact right after I finish this post I will be diving right into something new. In light of my trip to England I found it fitting to include a picture I drew of British actress and pop star Billie Piper. 

Work/Life 2

Along with tons of awesome illustrators from all over the world, I will be featured in Worklife 2, the second Uppercase directory of illustrators. This should be out in February 2011, this is the cover released today for the Book. Some of the other local featured illustrators include Jessica Phillips, Kim Smith and Maddi Matthews. Here's the link to their profiles on the uppercase site to tease you!

 

 

Update on the Dad and Rylie

So I'm truckin along here when ever I get time...and this is how its lookin so far!

Something new...

I find every time i draw my father and my niece, it turns out to be adorable. so here's another one started! Hopefully it goes as well as it's started.

In the planning stages of a move...

I have always wanted to move to London UK, and at this rate it looks like my time in Calgary is coming to an end. I will be in London for New Years this year and will be determining if I can make a go of it out there. The wheels are in motion for the next step in my life, and I'm terrified and excited at the same time. I guess its time for me to move on, take the step and let the universe take care of me for a bit here. I need to be in a place where I'm constantly inspired and surrounded by others who want to create. London seems like that place, and I hope I'm right!

I wouldnt end this post without some sort of picture for you so here's a picture of my studio, with the latest drawing in progress..

Whats new this week!?

I have had a relatively slow weak for drawing, but have managed to put up one thing I'm kinda happy with.

I actually just got in from a night out with some former work colleges (and a bunch of people I've never met) and decided to write. I'm not really sure what to put. I guess its just rant on an idea forming for a piece on the UN. The fact that all these meetings were going on this week, but I'm pretty sure the same problems are out there. I wanna believe the UN is the proper way to go for things like poverty and peace, but I feel like maybe its broken! Im not saying I have the solution, but I feel that there needs to be one before it can be an effective institution with teeth.
