Kayak Issue #38: Spent!

Here is the cover of the latest Kayak which dropped in the mail a couple of weeks back, it is chalk full of great information about the development of trade and currency in Canada. It is also chalk full of great illustrations by the likes of Charlene Chua, Anthony Brennan, David Namisato, Alex Diochon, Colton Balske and Jeff Kraft.

It should be on newsstands around the country. Or at least at McNally in Winnipeg.

I'm right in the thick of it with the next issue so I gotta go.

Peace out!

SoapScum: Meltdown Poster

Here is the Poster. Drawn by myself, and coloured by my wife.

This is for the newest improv soap opera put on by SoapScum Presents. It will play every Monday night at 8PM at the Park Theatre on South Osbourne.

SoapScum: Meltdown Poster Process

This is the poster for SoapScum Presents upcoming production of Meltdown: Atomic Wasteland. You've seen the sketches, here is some of the line work done in Adobe Illustrator. I've been very busy at work so I did not have time to finish the poster myself. so my lovely and talented wife did it for me. I think she did a great job.

I will post the final soon.

Labyrinth Sketches

I had a blast last night!

My daughter and I watched Labyrinth on Netflix. we took some red conté and a big old pad of marker paper and went to town drawing characters from the movie at speed. I also did a lot of tracings of Lilly's feet.

By the end it was a complete mess but it was one of the most artistically liberating evenings I've had in a while.

Here are a couple of shots

SoapScum: Meltdown Concept 3

So this is the concept I'm working up into a final poster. It kind of reminds me of Darth Vader. Gas Masks are creepy yet fascinating. I'm just finishing the drawing up and my wife will be finishing the poster with her fabulous painterly style, via digital media. I can't wait to see the finished product.

SoapScum: Meltdown Concept 2

This is another concept for the Meltdown: Atomic Wasteland poster. I thought this was kind of quaint. Though they should all have deformities and look a bit more mutant. Extra arms and such. I have one more concept to post. It is the one the head honcho's at SoapScum chose. I'm thankful because it will be the easiest to execute and it is a pretty solid concept. It is a bit more symbolic in nature. I'll post it in a couple of days.

SoapScum: Meltdown

A new SoapScum Presents season is coming up. This year is is Meltdown: Atomic Wasteland. I am working up their poster and have come up with a few conceptual options. This is number one. Just a simple post apocalyptic scene. I have done a sketch of a two headed crow to sit on the street sign. I will post that a bit later as I have not scanned it in yet.

I will post more of the concept sketches soon.
