Magazines and Music
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 12:06AM Months ago I submitted a photo of a mask to a new magazine emerging out of my hometown region of Niagara in Ontario. dead (g)end(er) released it's second issue in October of this year, with my work amongst other art and pieces of poetry and fiction. The theme was sci-fi and horror, which was fitting of course. You can check out their blog here, where you can follow local art and activist events as well as other cool things.
I am also happy to announce that on the 16th of this month Montreal's Décover magazine will be releasing it's 14th issue that will feature my work amongst 9 other artists. This magazine aims to highlight portfolios from 10 of this cities visual artists in a bimonthy issue. Their site, featuring an online portfolio from every participant, plus ordering information can be found here.
In music news, back in the summer Trips and Falls played a show with Montreal's Give Me Something Beautiful. After becoming acquainted with songwriter Matthew Hills, he asked me to use some art for the layout of their next ep. I was happy to oblige since their music rocks, and here is the result:
You can listen to the ep's tracks here.
And as for Trips and Falls, I am happy to say that the new album People Have to Be Told is doing great in Canada and abroad. You can purchase this release or the previous one through the bands label Song, by Toad Records. And to read reviews and keep up to date, visit our facebook page.
And a little fan art made by me... though I am in the band too, but still a fan nonetheless:

Site Update, Wood Drawings
Thursday, December 1, 2011 at 3:14AM Hello,
I fully understand why people pay others to design and update their sites, it can be a lot of work. For the past couple days I've been resizing pictures, creating hyperlinks and uploading material. I got rid of the Videos section and heavily updated the Commissions section as well as others.
As part of this I had some recent images scanned. They are burl and bark drawings that I've completed on and off over the past three years. Check them out under the Drawings section, though I'll post a few here:
Also I've been getting a head start on a new mask/Halloween costume for next year. It's slightly based off of my cat, with a twist of zombie to it. Here's a sneak peak:

After sending out some images to sites, and having others pick up on them, here are some highlights of being featured.
Some were kind enough to write something about my work in their own words:
though I am still grateful for the other features:
And Spacing Montreal did a nice write-up and allowed me to give a statement of my own regarding the new piece.
