It was originally going to be a dude playing the guitar, but I decided that since women can rock out too, it would be cooler if it was a lady.  She’s having a blast: look at that grin!

This piece was made for a secret santa event - it seems like the only thing that can get me to finish one-off art pieces is gift-giving occasions.  Maybe I will write about that, some time.

Project #5 for the Shy Artist Society - it’s a collage from photos of my neighbourhood.  Every image was taken with my phone, but was not resized or duplicated in any way.  Each piece was only used once, and is in its original resolution.

Chris’ Vegan Chili

This was another project for the Shy Artist Society - this time it was a recipe share.  Since the only kind of food I ever make on a regular basis is the easy kind, I chose chili.  I designed this recipe as a one-page mini-comic, except my conversational writing took up far more space than I had planned - so there aren’t many pictures.  You can get a full-sized printable version of the comic here.  Instructions for folding and cutting it can be found here.

I did this comic for Cloudscape’s upcoming “Funday Sunnies” anthology.  I want to share my full colour version, but I’m gonna hold off until the book’s been out for a little while.  You know, so we can sell a few comics before I give everything away for free.  For the moment, you’ll have to make do with this teaser.

Danielle tells the story of her “Frankenhand.” Her two friends react in very different ways.

This was a school exercise (2005) in keeping two characters on the screen at all times, bouncing attention between the two of them. Based off a “found” sound track (I stuck a mic in the room while my friends chatted).  I’m a better animator now, but I figured I would put this one up for posterity.  Plus, it’s still kinda funny, as long as you can actually understand the dialogue - which might be a little garbled and hard to hear at times.
