NINJA CAT!!!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to keep you in the loop on my latest project ... NINJA CAT!

Ninja Cat is a children's book that I collaborated on with a writer friend of mine, Jason Campbell. The book follows the adventures of two happy-go-lucky Ninja Cats, Scout & Claw. The book made its debut at this year's FanExpo in Toronto.

To pick yourself up a copy come by Guerilla Printing & The Comic Book Lounge or contact me.

Bye, bye Porsche

Check it out, here's another illustration I did for The Canadian Sportsman. I really like how this one turned out. See below for the sketch. Right from the start this illustration was ready to go. Let me just pat myself on the back for a sec. Enjoy!

Spaceman & Horse-cicle

Hey! Here's another horse illustration! Love drawing astronauts ... so much fun. I need to draw more of them ...

Late Xmas Illo ...

Hey! This post just missed Christmas ... darn! This illustration was done for The Canadian Sportsman ... enjoy!

Horses, shopping and UFOs!!

Check out this illustration I did for The Canadian Sportsman. To be honest I'm not exactly sure what the article is about. They just tell me what to draw & I do it. It's pretty much the process that goes on when I'm working with them. I don't mind makes my job easier.

MASCOT DESIGN!!!

Hey there! Here's a mascot design I did for Maximum Sports Nutrition. It was real fun to do.

Their first idea for the design was to have it as a bulldog (as seen below). They then changed their minds and decided to have it as a wrestler. So there ya go! Enjoy!

Babysitting & speech rehearsing

Finally have time to squeeze in an update! Here's more illustrations from the educational book!

Jay Leno T-Bonin'!

Here's and illustration I did for The Canadian Sportsman. The article is about the writer and his friends trip to Hollywood. Even though I'm not a fan of Leno he sure was fun to draw.

I was trying a new technique with this piece. I decided to strictly used the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator. I had fun with this piece.

This 'n That ...

Hey ... Happy New Year! Here are some illustrations that got published during the tail end of last year. What's different about these, is that they are all completely digital. I've been moving myself away from paper and doing everything lately on the computer. It just saves me time. So check 'em out.





These four were for "French Homework" a textbook by Scholastic.

And this one was for The Canadian Sportsman. The article was about how horses that harness race have to retire after a couple of years.

Also remember to check out my webcomic "Corporate Life" with writer Apollo. A new strip is released every Wednesday, check it out: http://ninjacat.ca/Corporate_Life.html

Web Illos!

I've posted these images on my Facebook a while back ... now you can see it in Blog form ...!!
I did these for the Canadian Sportsman website.

Hot Dog Carts & Huggin'

I've been busy working on a children educational book, so I haven't had a chance to post anything. But now that I'm finished I have the free time. So check out these illos I've done for The Canadian Sportsman. The first one is an article about this guy who hires this crazy woman and she gets her husband to intimidate him because he's late on giving her paycheck.

This one is about this guy who meets up with an old buddy every year at this horse racing event.

I'm Rich!

My latest illustration for The Canadian Sportsman. The article was weird and difficult to read because it was written in the style of the 1920's. But the gist of it was about a guy who was lucky and kept winning.

Sketches

For the sketches they wanted the main guy in the middle of a crowd of sad people with no money. So I came up with these sketches.

Parachute Party

Check it out, this is the latest illo I did for The Canadian Sportsman. I really like how this one turned out.

Sketches

In the first sketch, the article wasn't too clear that it was harness racing (plus it was dated back in the 1970's) so I just assumed that the rider was riding horseback. But I was wrong.

So I fixed it up. The editor wanted to show the part in the article where the trainers come in and slowed the horse down with a parachute. This sketch is pretty much what the final illo looks like. The editor dug this image.

Inks

There you have it. Enjoy!

On A Plane

Here's another illo that happens on a plane. The article is about how the writer dislikes making small talk with people on planes. So she decides to tell lies. It's pretty funny.

Sketches

In the article it mentions that the writer gets air sickness and the passenger beside her just keeps on yapping. The image of her looking ill didn't go over well with editor. They wanted me to concentrate more on the lying aspect.

Linear

So there ya go! I made it looks like she was bragging about herself, in a sense she is. In a lying sort of way.

Inks

Cinderella-ella-ella

I just finished this theatre poster for Theatre by the Bay. It's for their Cinderella play that's for kids. I really have fun doing these posters. Here's my process:

Sketches

They wanted the Fairy Godmother to be a bit smaller, she seemed to be dominating the poster. The wicked step sisters were too scary looking so I had to change them. Also they preferred that Cinderella's hair was up in a bun.

Linear

Before moving onto the inks, they wanted the bottom of Cinderella's dress to have a flower pattern.

Inks

Lobster Goodness!

Here's the latest illustration I did for The Canadian Sportsman. When I was working on this piece I wasn't enjoying it, I don't know why. Maybe because I was busy working on my comic. But I really like how this piece turned out in the end and in print it looks great!
