Swamp

Because I really like working with the wider format, I decided to have some more fun with rough sketching in photoshop and amping it up a bit. I was thinking a lot about Castlevania.

Beastie

A couple sketches based off of the beast of black flames. Perhaps minion of his.

Halloween

Happy October! here's a little project I'm working on. hope it's creepy enough!!

Election Posters

So Brooke ran for bio rep at her university (and totally won!, I know eh?) and she got me to make her some campaign posters. She wore a panda sweater so people would be able to identify her better, so we put the panda on the posters! yahoo!

Super Shredder

Vile Beast 2

Here's the happy little fella, painted in Photoshop.

Vile Beast

Hi. It's been a long time since I've managed to post anything at all. work sucks :( Thank goodness for cool girlfriends.

Brooke and Friends

Hi! This is a cartoon picture of my cute girlfriend and her cute friends in Ottawa. She and I worked together on this one. I enjoyed working on this one quite a lot! I went to Ottawa to visit her before, and I'm pretty sure it looked exactly like that. Yes!

Invite #2

I think we're goin with this one. :p

Invite #1

Hi. Ever design a wedding invitation for your sister and get totally carried away? ...oh. well I have! take a look! I'm learning painter and discovering what it can do, and really liking it. And yeah, a couple weeks ago I was at my friend's house, and he showed me a colored pencil drawing I'd done in first year of college. It had the sea and clouds, and ridiculous cartoon characters having a battle. A Banana Pirate vs a Chicken Snack Wrap holding a shank to be exact, but that's beside the point. Point is, the sky blew my mind, and it was thanks to the teachings of the wizard of painting himself, Ed Huner. I did my best to remember everything he'd taught me when I made this. So for me, it's kind of a step back through the dark haze in my mind to find forgotten gemstones of memory. delicious ones. I mean hey! the snack wrap was a goddamned force to be reckoned with! So here's to Ed, who's teachings inspired me, and all my college pals to kick some ass.

Havin' some FUN

Here is a cartoon of a guy holding a turtle and one of a whale having a birthday. I ask my girlfriend for ideas to draw sometimes and she comes up with a lot of inspiration for me. Isn't she the best? did 'em both up at the corner store, yup ^_^

Run Away

Hi. I'm posting a drawing for the jam. hope you guys enjoy it.

How bout a description? it's a joke about that show "The Adventures of Sinbad" that was on TV in the mid 90's. I used to watch it every Sunday. the special effects were primitive and funny looking, with 3D effects just starting to get used. Basically in almost every episode they would end up on a beach on some secret wizard's island running away from blue screened in giant animals. They would try throwing their useless weapons and stuff at the monsters, and there was plenty of heroics. I loved it. Me and my pal Thomas Collin liked to make fun of it, so there ya go!

Ride

It's fun to imagine. enough said.

Ferocious Battle

My girlfriend likes the old Pokemon games on Gameboy, so I made her a little sketch of us battling! I guess this is what would happen. Right? thats Kanghaskhan and his baby versus Brooke's Arcanine.

Fruity Radness

^_^ Here we go again! lately I haven't been posting too furiously because all I seem to do is work and sleep these days... but this time I have just a fun little doodle I made for my friend TJ Bragg. Inspiring artist, hard workin' man, and fellow shasta beast, I recommend you check out his stuff, at http://wakemusicalarm.blogspot.com/ . ... so yeah just have some fun. enjoy.

TyrannoGoat Epic

Hi! This is the color version of the previous sketch, made for the super radical Brooke Cameron. It was a lot of fun wickedsmithing this one. My pal Liam showed up and we bombarded it with filters. yay!

TyrannoGoat

Hi, This is some line work of a concept I'm working on for a very special lady. That's Brooke, riding the TyrannoGoat, likely bringing doom to a grotesque enemy horde.
I'll be getting to some coloring. Most fun I've had in awhile.
I challenge everyone to make something hybrid too!

practice sketches for chops sake

Hi! This post has some of my sketches that I like to do outside. practicing. Gotta do what I can to keep my choppy chops up. I find it annoying when people say "chops" that way, but it's fun to say cause its annoying. :)

Guardian of the Forest, Death to Evil Men

OK so this one time this really pretty girl tells me a story about a creature who stalks in a certain forest nearby.
To me, it seems this creature is a shape-shifting guardian of the forest, bringing death to those who would pollute or befoul the sanctity of it's home. It carries a grim ward which yields the skulls of it's victims to ward off those that would dare enter the forbidden realm. In this particular rendition, it kind of looks like the ferocious offspring of Chewbacca, an owlbear and a jigglypuff. I raise a pint to his efforts!

I like charcoal

Here's a festive little diddy I cooked up this mornin'. Inspired by the fabulous land cards of magic the gathering and I want to be like Jack Hamm now. I know, I'm going to eat ham sandwiches until I become him. A man's got to do what a man's got to do. maybe I should get some breakfast.

I'm just having fun!

Demo Reel

Back again with another upload, this time it's the animation demo reel. I have studied for a few years at NBCC and this is what I have assembled. I'm still working hard and am enthusiastic about making more animations in the future, and getting a job. HIRE ME!

Back again

I have created a sketch of my backyard in Dartmouth, the pond my dad constructed a couple years ago. Mom and Pops sure did put a lot of work into it, so for my dad's birthday I made this little sketch for him. Tried out some new pencils too.

Portfolio

This is a collection of my portfolio pages I made while in school up at NBCC. I decided it would only be right to post them here, especially since my website won't work properly.(cursed server) So yeah, these pages to me are just the beginning of what I can do, as I continue practicing, and hopefully finding some work to boost up my skillz.

Me Make Blog

School is almost over, so I'm starting a blog. Starting with a picture I made(above) and this text here. I'm not sure what people put on blogs, but I'll update some more images and some animations and stuff later. So... this is it, going to get my website up tonight too.

...

HRUAAAHHH!
