Hal Steacy

A commission from my friends Anne Steacy and Brian Gable of her Dad Hal, the 87 year old master golfer!

Dr. Richard Daystrom

A sketch from last night of the master coming unglued trying to chill out the M5.

Hamilton Spectator cartoon

Here is a cartoon for this weekend in the Hamilton Spectator of the Mayoral race in Toronto. Smitherman coming on strong after everyone and their brother seemed to want to hand the race over to big bad Rob Ford.

Picasso

First in a series of paintings on my fave classic artists, Pablo Picasso.

A first attempt rough of the great stars of Breaking Bad, one of the jewels of TV.
Stay tuned for a better version.

A portion of a storyboard hastily drawn overnight for an eye makeup TV spot.

A cartoon of Micheal Ignatieff on his summer whistle stop tour of Canada.

ACEC convention in Hamilton 2010

I finally made it out to a convention for the editorial cartoonists of Canada and boy was it worth it!
Great to see many friends and meet new ones, all fun and talented.
A grand time.

TMIG on the move

A postcard for an engineering firm that was moving locations.

JACK WHITE CARICATURE

Here is a picture of Jack White that I did last year but considered a bit iffy.
I like some of it but perhaps it looked a bit MJ-ish in the likeness department.
Not sure, any comments?

The Naughty Show

Had a grand time at the Naughty Show with the ribald works of the great Toronto painters Anita Kunz and Maurice Vellekoop. More!

Little Del

Had to paint my little friend Del for the Scott family the other day. He is a real dude.

Hamilton Spectator cartoon

A cartoon from the G20 silliness the other week that ran in the Hamilton Spectator.
Graeme MacKay is the very funny cartoonist from The Spectator and he was kind enough to get me on board for some contributing there.

More Literary Review art

Some more quick pieces here including a Mulroney/Schreiber piece, one on civic art installations in Canada with the Maman staue in Ottawa and the cover which is the Canadian author cross country tour, inclusing Linden MacIntyre, Saul etc.

Literary Review Harper

Another Harper piece here that accompanies an article about the Conservative party and their semi secret agenda to embrace the Christian right.

Harper cartoon

This is a cartoon from last year of Harper when he did his live Beatles performing with YoYo Ma. The gist is how the PM has essentially skated through his term because there has been little impressive leadership from the opposition.

Engineering chap

I had to draw some chaps for an engineering firm promotion announcement.
This is one of the fellows.

The secret farmers midnight dance is the title of the children's book I've illustrated for the great Neil Crone. I'll post the mock ups of the artwork here prior to final changes and printing. A very nice story about farm animals and our relationship with them.

Resistance!

Gilles Duceppe made some vintage comments on the weekend equating the Quebec struggle to that of the "Resistance". He claims it was not intended to compare their struggle with that of the Nazi fighters, but oh well, too late.

Lamont believes!

What a fine Olympics we all just enjoyed, we may never have one like it in our lifetime.
Lamont the French torpedo agrees.....he was super speedy throughout the event!

Had to paint Dr. 13's son Max as he saves the world from evil (stupid) zombies!

This article talks about the pressure on a new dog to deliver the goods after you've had the "big" champ for so many years.

Lots of skiing and sitting about the chalet. Here are a few doodles from my fireside bake outs.
