Watercolour on Paper
This is a “Thank You” card I gave to a very helpful friend in June 2006. Three helpful friends, three cards.

Watercolour on Paper
This was my first Pretentious Colour Field Painting, not including the experimental forays I turned into some birthday cards in the fall of 2005. No, “Untitled 01″ is not a bug in the title - that is actually what this is called. If I gave it a name, then I would be ascribing some kind of symbolism to the imagery that isn’t there.
SUPERSATURATED
December 29th, 2008Art-speaky synopsis: SUPERSATURATED is a critical musing which examines the pervasive ubiquity of advertising and its tendency to dominate language and influence behaviour.
I finished this film in June of 2006, it was my graduation project at the Emily Carr Institute (now University) in Vancouver. I could write an essay (and have) about all the research and levels of meaning involved, but I think it’s better that viewers take whatever they take from it, without me telling them what they’re supposed to take.
Two major influences: Koyaanisqatsi, and Mind Game. If you haven’t seen those films, do your best to find them and watch them. They are fantastic.
The Apocalypse is Candy-Coloured

This shattered landscape is (very) loosely based on Vancouver. It’s drawn from my brain, so the geography is funky. The tallest building is the Shangri-La, the second tallest is the Wall Centre. I guess. This was a gift for Winston.

Say what you will about hipsters, they are fun to draw. The title is derived from the four colour printing method: Cyan Magenta Yellow Black (or “CMYK”). This was made as a Secret Santa gift.
