Stroll

Just a sketch to anticipate warm weather. Currently painting backgrounds for a kids show, and learning plenty about color as a result. Ive been consistently happy for many months on end.

Australia - No Shirt, No Shoes, Service

"Above all else, get abroad and see the light"- J.S.S.

I just returned from a 2 1/2 week adventure down under, and learned almost more than I could handle.

I've also realized that I know almost nothing about the world, so its time to start working again, and making some more travel cash. On top of everything I did while I was away, during my travel time, waiting time, talking to other travellers, in the bars, on the beach, in the city, I almost managed to fill a entire 5.5 x 8.5 sketchbook. (with some help of some other artists I met along the way)

On a side note, Ugly Americans will be Premiering on March 21st on the Comedy Channel, and It would be greatly appreciated if everyone would tune in and help launch the show! (I've been invited back to work on the second season)

Daily (selected) Compositions

I Have Plenty more, but these are the ones I'd like to share. I've been blessed this summer, I've been in the greatest of moods for the last few months. So I celebrate Toronto, Ottawa, Meaford, through my pen.

Selected Summer Sketches

Sketched these while dancing at the same time, to the Mae Cromwell Band at the Beaches Jazz fest. Dancing and drawing during street festivals might be my favorite thing ever.
Waiting For the 29

The Far right is my sketch from Klimt's Hope, my favorite painting that I've ever encountered. What a difference standing in front of the original.
Took advice from Walt Stanchfield, and this summer, I was Drawn To Life. Much Thanks to Omid, Smarthur, Alex, Taras, Richard, TPG, Cousin Mike, Jones, Curtis, Deanna and everyone else who waited patiently for me while I participated in my Joy.

Cant Wait to sketch the summer of 2010 already!

Dundas Square

Dundas Square is way better than stupid eglinton square.

Sketched yesterday with Omid, Arthur and Taras.
