Ice Cream People

Dear Readers,

I know you are few and far between, and that you likely have better things to do with your time then cruise in internet for things I might like. But never-the-less, I am extremely disappointed in you all for not alerting me to this digital marvel sooner. It's a combination of the two things I love the most in the world: Anthropomorphism, and Ice Cream. 

Behold: the Ice Cream People.......

 

This discovery will very obviously change my life for the better.

Shades of Grey

The Fall Colours

 

Spotted Wednesday, outside the People's Mall, a group of adorable schoolgirls photographing Toronto's natural wonders. Among their subjects: a homeless man. 

Toiletpomorphism

I can't help myself; I love these toilets. It's like the the white toilet seems to be reaching out to the pink toilet with its flusher. So romantic!(?) In spite of my better judgment, I'm considering using this image for my business card.

Skeleton Crew Quaterly.

Let me introduce you to my friend Ryan Pratt and the Skeleton Crew Quarterly.  The SCQ is a music review platform from which Ryan writes poetic reviews of upcoming and often undiscovered albums, devises incisive yearly best of lists, and tweets wildly. It’s become my primary source for music journalism, and to return the favor I made a design for the site's banner. He asked me to do this about six mounths ago, and after multiple distractions and a couple rough attempts, I'm finally finished. So here goes my first attempt at graphic design:

Barcleona was full of it

Here's a picture I made for the birthday of a one Jay Haffie-Emslie (turning sixteen, he naturally needed sixteen birthday presents). This was inspired by a photograph taken outside the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. I really wanted to go, but the wait was long, and my fellow travelers, including Jay, were generally unimpressed with what lay inside. Yet despite the collective malaise, I'm pretty pleased with how this worked out. He and Ben look more like a family in exile, in the midst of a long winters trek, then they do Canadian tourists is Spain. I've taken a bit of a break since finishing this (the detail was pretty exhausting), but I think I'm ready now to get back to it.

A Burrowing Gregarious Plant-Eating Lady

I've been drawing a lot of animals lately, but found that I was missing the kind of portrait drawing that I used to really love doing as a kid and in High School. So my current animal fixation has morphed a little bit into something stranger (and more disturbing?).
