diving into docks presents "Diving Into Docks"

Prone to squid and octopi attacks, a lumbering diver plods along the seabed. Dark waters and poor field of vision mask the behemoths.

Now watch as he's pretty much done for...



Maybe some process shots in the morning? Sure! Stay tuned.

**Edit** Process shots! Animated! Thanks to the 3 people who helped from the scribbles. Irma and Jerry who questioned anything funny about it. Thirdly, my friend who asked 'what the hell is this even for?' and is now sitting on an illustrated dock.

Inverted Finger Slip & Battery Liar

My camera is forgetful with batteries and sometimes claims they have no more power before remembering that they are in fact charged. During this downtime I sat down at the harbor front and drew parts of the skyline before giving up on accuracy. This is the result.




Mission Hill was a show filled with an interesting colour palette. I set up the preliminary flats similar to their backgrounds (pastels, blues, purples) but was curious and inverted the scheme.

"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!
