been real busy these past few weeks, thought i'd share what's been keeping me away from updating this ol blog

first, exciting news for me, my NFB film got into the Ottawa film fest! woo! but you ask, how?, we (the lovely internet) havent seen it yet! well dear friends, the nfb is holding out posting our films in beautiful quality until world animation week, which is of course in october! BUT you can see it low res HERE i'll of course post when the gorgeous copy is online, you need to some of the colours high res, its awesome.
we're not in the competition, but fun to see our work bigscreen none the less. its at the end of sept.

The incredible Oscar Grillo, whom i've been a fan of for ages, did this years poster

***EDIT*** ive been working on some shorts for a big company through a smaller company, but i can't talk about it until the campaign is done. i posted stuff about it before but i got shut down, heh, contracts

as well as finishing up the **CANNOT TALK ABOUT IT PROJECT**, im working on a jean spot for a new line - Naked & Famous jeans. cant show any of it yet, but im really excited by it, should be really cool. all this mystery, ive been the busiest ive ever been in my life & i can't show anything to anyone about it.

im going back to toronto for alittle bit to work on a cool commercial for head gear, its very similar to the constantines video, & while im there i have a table in the artist alley at the big evil toronto comic con Come check me & my brother out, he has a seperate table with the sexy Neil tavares. THEN im off to vancouver to visit my beautiful lady who's working on a cool stop-motion feature, & while im there im going to be at the little & im sure wonderful Vancouver comic con. that takes place sept 9 & if you're in those con areas, i would love to here you insult me & my work, it doesnt have any feelings

finally theres always mojizu's, new one is me,

alittle shameless plug for my 2007 sketchbook, which you can pickup from at those cons above or clicking on the right hand side button >>>>
Wilfred is in the second round of the war & is just behind a russian dog, if you havent voted yet, now would be the greatest time to do it, right now he's only 3 votes behind & the voting ends on sunday night, we can beat those ruskies!


i think thats it, the next month or so is going to be heavy heavy, so i most likely wont see you for awhile. if you dont have anything nice to say, insult them in your head.

Hipp vs Lumb

A few former animator workmates whom i like to refer to as "friends" have finished a film that was long time in the making. Andrew "the Garlic Flame" Strimatis & Charles "Hog Tamer" Greenfield have created an epic tale consisting of a treehugger, a treecutter, a treehater, & a treedweller, all locked in the greatest battle our age has ever seen.

i star as the hater, but i dont support hate especially any towards this film, click on each pic to allow your eyes to be spoiled
part 1

part 2

part 3

got another mojizu in the running, click her to vote


& sylvie's gone to taste the fresh air of British Columbia, leaving me with way too much to do. what the hell am i updating my blog for, screw you blog!

progress & moaning

just finished a little piece for my dads birthday, hopefully he doesnt check this & see his late card, its in the mail dad, i swear
The pic was drawn while i was at a pub close to my place in montreal, inviting him to join me for a pint or 6 from toronto, im fitting the bill.


found this new site that is a voting contest to make a deck of cards, Custom 52 submit a piece on any card, i put tomithy on one, cuz he deserves it, he's had a tough life. i think you can keep voting, even more than once a day, but it never shows what the total standings are, so who knows really. i think im just addicted to contests. you should join in


& speaking of which, Chewy went on to the 2nd round, click him


The duke is out, but gerald is up in round one, against some stiff competition, so please show your support for these poor orphans & press your mouse upon him


working busily on a film for Phil & I & group's comedy gang, Sylvie & i are making a little cartoon to go along with a bunch of other really funny short films, cant wait to show everyone, phils going to explode.

last hothouse podcast is finally up, but no one told me, had to find out myself through the wire. i needed to be half drunk to pretend to be fully drunk, press it


& sylvie's leaving for BC in 2 days for 4 months, blows dragons balls. So the next entry might take me forever to write inbetween the moping

stratching backs

So sales of my shirts have been doing not too shabby over at Bountee & i thank all the fine folks who have decided to grace theyre wonderful breasts with my art. i was even featured on a t shirt blog called TCritic which i think is very funny & cool.

ive made this little thang for shan's bday which was 2 days ago **EDIT** you can actually see the pic now, so click on him


he's also a mojizu


now if you happen to be a keen student you'll have noticed some new additions to the right hand side of my blog. firstly, is a thing called Digg which is a site where you can vote for sites or articles that you really like & people can check them out, share cool stuff you found, etc. cool way of letting people know that you like their shit, so if you dont think mine smells too bad, maybe you could digg mine? no? ok nevermind

also i put up a few picture links to some illustration communities im part of, in particular monday art day is cute little group that offers prizes to the best weekly & monthly pic. also check out the others, because they dont enjoy eating children like me

& some sketches for good measure. orig sketch for shans pic

i plan on finishing a few of these octupii

Cuz i like to glue things in my book that i find in the splendid parks of montreal. this one may turn into a mojizu at some point at a later date on this very computer if you are so lucky
