Absolut St.ART

For the past few months I've been working on an installation for an Absolut vodka event called "Absolut St.ART." My concept was to create a city that incorporated naturally occurring feautres of the landscape (trees, hills, rocks, stumps, etc.) into the architecture of the buildings and other city structures. I built a street corner of the fictional city which included a butcher shop, bus stop, street lights a bus and an angry butcher.

Shameless

Bounjour! I am currently on a bit of a tour through Europe. The family and I are visiting our friends across the pond. As a promotional item for this trip, and in general I have created the first in an ongoing series of promotional booklets entitled "What I Do." With a little help from a little sister I hand bound a handful of these booklets and will be sending them and hopefully handing them to prospective clients. Everyone loves shameless self promotion right? Aside from my friends at projects, projects of course. (lootbag tour crew, you know what I'm saying)

couple o' new pieces

It's been close to a life time since I've last updated this thing. In my posting absence we had a very successful opening for our group show One 2 Many at the Steamwhislte brewery running till the end of April. Thanks to everyone who attended. Here are two pieces I did for the show.

SUPER GOAT

I know I haven't posted any paintings for awhile so here we go. This is Super Goat. It is a gift I painted for a special someone.

Strictly Butter

Im still on the portfolio grind and recently gave myself another dream job to complete. This time for Nike SB. I decided to do a campaign based around some lyrics from the Tribe Called Quest song Butter. More to come from this project soon.

Hypnotic Posters (better photo)

The earlier photos I took of these posters were kinda brutal so i decided to post another.

Better late than never... right?

So I missed the Friday posting deadline. Why do you ask? Well I was printing these posters I've been working on for awhile. Better photos to follow. I'll try for a double post this week to make up for my tardiness. Cool?

Some more things

Here's another batch of work from the past few weeks. The bottom two pieces are from a series I'm currently working on based on the lyrics from the Big L track "Ebonics." I also just recently saw the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble again here in Toronto and like always they were incredible. During the show i got inspired to design a show poster for the group. Finally i thought i should try doing some layout stuff so I got to work redesigning a contents page for one of my favorite magazines Color. Let me know what you think people of the internet. Crit is welcomed with open arms!

New Treats

Welcome back to post of the week. Leave it to me to do work based on terrible, but hopefully charming word play. I present the bike-sicle and the tri-sicle, just in time for the end of summer.

Long Awaited

"J. B."
"Mobile Home"
"Nudie"
"Nude 1"
"Fresh Milk"
"Tuk Tuk"

Well it's been pretty long since i last posted something on this old blog. In that time i've gotten my website up. Here is some more recent work from the last two group shows i've been in.
