Faked from the Dead

Rocktober Blood from 1984 for Fake Criterion's October Faked from the Dead series. A perfect site for practicing design.

More Books for Your Buck

The latest ad campaign for The Bookman in Chilliwack, using my illustration. Hopefully my other work will be featured in the up coming calendar of Nietzsche, celebrity cat.

The Bookman Cat

I've been doing some more work for The Bookman, this time a calendar featuring the store cat Nietzsche. Nietzsche is the perfect cat; he loves pets, taking rides on the book carts, and just laying around getting in the way of customers (in a good way). It takes a special breed to be the best bookstore cat in Canada. I wish my cat was more layed back like him.

Long overdue...

It's been forever since I've posted. Between moving and looking for a new job my illustration work has suffered. The most recent pieces I've done are a series of bookmarks for The Bookman in Chilliwack, coming soon to a used classic near you.

Alpine Mitrewort trading card

My Alpine Mitrewort illustration has finally become a Phylomon Card! I'm really happy that my work is part of this project and I hope to do a couple more pieces for it. I might even play the game.

Although I've never been into these kind of card games I've always liked the ways the cards are designed and the quality of the illustrations used.

Cover Layout

Although this was not submitted as the final version for a potential job, this was my favorite version for the project. I hope I get this job, it'll mean some money and that all important experience for my resume.

Jekyll/Hyde Done!

Finally finished the Jekyll/Hyde book cover I've been working on forever. I kept changing my mind on the font so I would have to redraw it all. It was important to me that the lettering be hand done and I think it came out pretty good.

They need their own comic

Crazy Jane, a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder, was part of Grant Morrison and Richard Case's Doom Patrol. A highly complex character, each her 64 personalities had its own superpower. I would have loved to have seen a series come out of her appearance in Doom Patrol, only a handful of the personalities were talked about in the original but a series could have gone into deeper details of each one.

Jet Girl is the sometimes unappreciated sidekick of Tank Girl. Much less aggressive than Tank Girl's other friends she is thought of as boring and criticized for her taste in music. Yet out of all this she has a serendipitous lifestyle in which she is never in need of money and her wants are simple, resulting in a very relaxed outlook on life despite being pursued by the law.
*The character of Jet Girl portrayed in the 1995 film Tank Girl bears no resemblance to the original comic character and should not be used for the argument of a Jet Girl comic*

12 Angry Men book cover

I based this cover on the 1957 movie. The film was simple, 12 great actors with a great script in a room. So the cover I designed was based on that, simplicity.

Design project limbo

Where do all the projects that no longer have any purpose go? Limbo, aka this blog. This was a mock up that went with a proposal for a project that I unfortunately didn't get. It will forever now here reside.
