Technical Difficulties...

Hey everybody,

I am going insane at the moment; I have been a bit of a Lazy Lucy with my website, and almost 1 year later I've decided to update it with all of my recent work. And because I am not the smartest when it comes to computers... my website is in a bit of trouble at the moment. Go take a look. Really. And please keep laughing to a dull roar.

Please stand by and do not panic! Breathe with me!

Inspiration

When I went to Florida, I went with my older sister and my parents. The entire trip we begged our Dad to take us to the Goodwill; everytime we'd pass it we'd get all riled up.

When we did eventually go, it was a big let down: everything was really picked over. A lot of Diaper Genies, clothes from 2000, and just general "blahness". But I did find this book, a true gem. I had never heard of Brian Wildsmith before, but his LSD-psychedelic style illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Totally inspired.

And, for only 60 cents.

Look at this tiger! Shazaaam! And I got to pen my name into the ownership hot air balloon. Score 1 for me.

an elephant wearing watches on his trunk in space. Of course!

SO RAD

Such a great find, beautiful artwork, gorgeous animals, and lots and lots of colour and fanciness.

TOY!

Hey ya'lls.

I've been a bit MIA lately; I got to go to beautiful, sunny, not-yet-oil-stricken Florida. But now I'm back and I have something to show y'alls!

It was my friend's birthday yesterday and I finally debuted my first Munny!

Here, I present Faisel, the most peachy giraffe in the world.

Oh, and Go Habs Go! I don't particularly enjoy watching hockey but I watched the game last night (in a pub!) and it was very exciting.

AZURE

Hi friends,

Exciting news today: AZURE magazine's Annual Green Building Guide came out today and guess who has an illustration inside?

Spoiler alert: it's me!!

I was asked to do a cutaway illustration of a building, showing different elements inside that are "green". This was a great experience for me because I finally mastered the straight line! I typically never use a ruler in my illustrations but with this project I had no choice. I'm really happy with the outcome. Hope you all like!

Hello friends!

Here is something to sink your teeth into...

My pal and ginger-friend Russell Gibbs is the proud papa of these new online music mixes, released at the end of every month, on his blog www.llessurdotca.tumblr.com .

He asked me to create something special for his third installment and here it be!

They are super foxy, non? Three lovely foxes ready for a day of sunbathing at the beach. I got my inspiration from Raphael's "The Three Graces"

The mixes are awesome and totally got me moving during this unpredictably horrible/amazingly beautiful month of March... looking forward to April!

xoxo

Oh and stay tuned for more exciting drawn out newz !

BIRTHDAY CARD!

Hi all,

There is something that I really love in life and appreciate to no end: homemade birthday cards. Actually, scratch that, homemade greeting cards. Christmas, birthday, festivus, or Valentine's Day, I'd rather get something made from a friend than bought (well... there are always some exceptions... )

Anyways here is a Birthday card I made for a friend that I thought I'd share. Not just because I think it is adorable, but because my friend introduced me to the coolest rap group on this planet right now: Die Antwoord (The Answer)

They are from South Africa. They live with their parents and grandparents. They are considered trailer trash. They have amazing stage-names, a well designed website, and wicked music videos. I am in love, to say the least. I have watched their video Zef Side everyday.

Anways my friend has a no-secret crush on Yo-Landi and I thought she should wish him a Happy Birthday on paper.

Watch the video Zef Side. You won't regret it.
