"Something's wrong with the G-Diffuser!"

Back in the day it was your dozen of triangles versus the enemy. A creepy voice over told you "SCRAMBLE", "Good Luck", and "Wing Damage!". That plane could still fly despite the loss. Partnered up with gibbering animals, you went off to fight a monkey in a box hiding behind a face that ate too much geometry for breakfast. That was their story. This is STARFOX!



P.S. There was a secret level where you could fight a giant slot machine to the tune of 'When the Saints come marching in', after that you were forced to blast the end credits until you quit out of boredom.

2.75$ = Chaos + a whole whack of KMs

Promotion to get myself started in a few days. I was working a job previously that had me spend 2 hours of my day on the TTC (Toronto Transit system) so I had some time to kill. The system which seems to work well one moment and horribly the next. Their ambiguous enforcement of transfers can also irk you on the wrong day.

Hope this pleases some people.



In other news, a comic that I colour was launched by Zuda, drawn and written by my boss/friend AndyB. First few installments can be found here and is updated twice a week. Bottle of Awesome

"You're not cool enough for this box!"

Was stuck colouring for a long while so there was a hiatus in work for myself. A larger project is coming but I needed to get warmed up first so I drew a snooty mime thing. Is he smug enough?



I suppose you could write something thoughtful in his smoke bubble on this handy post-card sized image.

In other news, congrats to any and all 2009 Sheridan Grads of Illustration. Next up, the OCADers.

Hail to Conchordia

The 2nd season of Flight of the Conchords has ended and if Wikipedia is to believed it was also the series finale. This was conceptualized through some contest HBO put on. A bit of fine print later states that the contest was only open to US residents. Went ahead with it anyways because it would be a fun wager with Vicki Nerino to see who could finish first. Beer for me cause I won!

Sidenote, I need to get a hold of some old-timey 3D glasses.

"He only used you for your honey!"

Mr. Nimit invited a bunch of artists and myself to contribute to an Illustration fundraising event. The name of the show is the Birds and the Bees which will be held on March 20th at the Jerome Jenner Gallery. Here's what I came up with. 'Plaquing' isn't a word according to spellcheck but that is definitely how I am handling the print of this. Musical birds to follow soon!

In Lieu of Candles and Flowers

2 pieces which were actually cards for friends (one birthday, one less-birthday) have eaten up a bit of time. Along with those, a bunch of work colouring came my way for the month of January (not pictured). Production was down due to a busted heater which left me chattering away from the chills during anytime I wasn't cozy in bed. Laptops are a good source of heat when everything else fails...

Anthropomorphic Attack!

2 unrelated projects uploaded here. The Manatee Brown's fan is a Christmas card for a Boss's girlfriend's brother-in-law.. Yea! Go Browns?

The second board design is below. Deadlines crept in and it didn't deliver the message I wanted it to but it does have 3 monkeys. Half of the goal was met with this and may be revisited one day. RIDE competition is in February and in the meantime check out Miss Lee's entries.
