The Stupidest Thing 4 - Nightmares & Dreamscapes

This conversation actually happened. I only remembered the punchline, delivered here verbatim, but not the details of Laura’s dream, which I made-up for the purposes of delivering this comic. I guess that makes this issue of TST semi-fiction. Or perhaps “inspired by true events.”
It should be mentioned that my fiance Laura did not have this [...]

More Batman

The final sketch for the march of Dimes eBay Charity Auction is not a life-drawing from the Cottage in Point Clark, but instead, something more akin to the rest of the work being submitted by other artists involved -a superhero.
The Batman, to be precise. One of the all time classics, rendered unclassically, although not without [...]

Sketches from the Cottage, Point Clark, Ontario! Fourth!

My dog Loki, an Australian Kelpie, soundly asleep and giving me the perfect opportunity to sketch him!
Ink and Brush.

Sketches from the Cottage, Point Clark, Ontario! Third!

A bottle of Yellow Tail Shiraz, polished off and waiting to be recycled.
The whole cottage is made of wood, stained dark and deep with age. I love this sketch, the third in the eBay Charity Auction for March of Dimes.
Rendered with ink & brush.

Sketches from the Cottage, Point Clark, Ontario! Second!

Closer to the Lighthouse, and further into land.
Neither particularly magnificent nor towering, the Lighthouse in Point Clark has something magical, almost haunting, about it.
It might have to do with the structure being over 150 years old and the first structure in Canada to be named a Historic Site.

Sketches from the Cottage, Point Clark, Ontario! First!

Sketch from the far end of the beach of the lighthouse and surrounding scenery (Pretty much just Lake Huron), at Point Clark, ON.
This sketch was the first on a series of five 2″ by 3″ Sketch-Cards. The cards are to be auctioned off on eBay to raise money for the March of Dimes.
At this point [...]

Yonge Street Mission - Concept Poster

This concept poster was developed utilizing the illustrations. The poster
was conceived and designed in collaboration with Graham Paulsen at 5D Media
& Design. The intent was to make a poster that would advertise and promote
the Core Values of the YSM on a visual level that appeals to the people the
mission serves.

Inspired by the YSM Core Value of Dignity. Rendered without paper on a Wacom Tablet.

Gordon Downie!

Lebanon Vignettes - Balbeck

Rendered digitally, with a WACOM Tablet. I used a photo I took as reference. The illustration is of the bust of a lion, emerging from the wall at the ruins in Balbeck. The lion’s head, for whatever reason, has become iconic of the location. I thought I’d contribute with my tiny little drawing.

Lebanon Vignettes - Harisa

Rendered digitally with a Wacom Tablet, using my own photo as reference. I took a different stylistic approach to this one, using the more whimsical aesthetic seen in some of my portraiture (here and here, for example)

Lebanon Vignettes - Raousha

Rendered digitally, with a Wacom Tablet, using a photo I took as reference. Raousha is a rock formation off the coast of Lebanon, and a popular view for tourists.

Lebanon Vignettes - Cedar

Rendered digitally, using a WACOM Tablet, from a photo I took of a 3,000 year old Cedar tree, in the Cedar Reserves in Lebanon.
