Contact me for comissioned artwork, concept drawings, photographs, this, that and the other thing.
Starting drawing relentlessly around 3 years old. Starting with a huge mural of a town on the wall behind my parents bed, which, to my memory, was found only when we moved. Mom and Dad being quite surprised.
Continued drawing with the influence of cartoons, sci-fi & fantasy movies and comic books, notably Transformers and Batman. Always liked Art class best in school. In the early 2000's completed Joe Kubert's penciling course through the Mail.
Tried my hand at sculpting, painting, computer art, foam puppet & monster costume design, film editing and video game design.
Planning on finding a career in some sort of Arty Vain.
Will consider requests!

The other day as I was on my lunch break, I walked past a seagull walking in traffic, dragging it's wing. After a few minutes of contemplation, I decided to get a box from work, and trap the little guy and get the SPCA to pick him up before he ended up with more than a wing broken.
So, much to my surprise, he was a fiesty little guy, and I had to chase him through an intersection, and only caught him when I did a 500 foot spring as quickly as I could!
In the end, I took a stinky box full of seagull up to Victoria's General Pet Hospital by the Mayfair mall, and he was turned over to WildArc.

Because I walk or ride the bus everywhere, when I do get a car ride, I could say I get excited.
However, for the last 10 odd minutes of this ride, the kid in the backseat was threatening to throw up. I say threatening, because my gut tells me he wanted the attention that the road was getting from his mom.
Please note, I made the effort to draw in seatbelts, lest it appear that I'm reckless when it comes to automobiles.

I was walking home one night with some Vegan Chinese Food leftovers, and came across this very friendly cat that is usually always out.
This cat is so friendly that it starts purring and will start kneading your knee while it stands on it's hind legs.
After my poor knee had as much as I could take, I started back home but I noticed someone walking up towards me, obviously seeing me petting this cat, and I wondered to myself what it looks like or what they think.
And this picture idea popped into my mind.

There Is Spider In My Bathroom.
One day, I went into my bathroom, and there was a big spider in it. True story.
I stared at it. It stared at me.
I slowly pulled a knife.
I slowly grabbed an empty bottle of conditioner. Cut the bottom off.
I slowly bent down and captured the hairy beast.
Packed it up, walked it three blocks away and let it go in the Park.
Three days later - it was back. I did the same thing. Caught it, released it in the park.
Three days later - it was back.
I squished it.
Three days later - nothing.
