I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Barker and the Pipeline crew on WIOW's the past year and a half. Good times!  Fingers crossed for season 2.

What's Up, Doc?

Here's a panel from a recent board from Doc McStuffins done for the folks at Brown Bag Studios.

To The Lab Johnny!

I started storyboarding for Johnny Test back in 2007. I have worked on every season since and after many many  episodes,  I have to wonder if I just boarded the last one. Although still wildly popular, the show has recently shifted ownership to a new studio and the series passed it's 100th episode (which creator Scott Fellows penned this season!) so you have to wonder if it has run it's course.

I've had the pleasure of working with some great people over this run; Joe Sherman, Paul Riley and Pam Slavin, Larry Jacobs, John Lei and the dynamic duo of  Matt and Dave Beatty . Hopefully I will get the pleasure of working with them again down the road, maybe even on another run of Johnny Test.
To the lab Johnny!

Here's another one of the development designs I did for the Fievel's American Tails series.

Here's an old design I did for the Fievel's American Tails series that Nelvana worked on in the early 90's.

Ii have been really busy boarding away on Johnny Test but squeezed in a little bit of Photoshop time for this. My wife and I walk by here most days.

It's a boy!

A few months ago my wife's brother and his family came up from Arizona to our place for dinner. Yes,it's a long trip for dinner but what made it a unique experience was that it was the first time that my wife and her brother had seen each other since...well the first time ever.
Well the entire meeting turned out simply fantastic and it's great to suddenly have a brand new extended family.
A couple of days later we all went out to the Niagara Bench to visit a couple wineries.It was a wonderful,warm fall day and this was the view from from one of the wineries looking out over the lake.

Somethin' a lil' different...

Nope! not another pastel. Haven't tried oils in a long time and I don't think I ever tried a still life. Thank the Lord for Ctrl z

I've been really busy with work so I haven't had a chance to get out and do some drawing/photography for a winter scene, so here is one I've been fiddling with from a photo I found.
Out in the snow this weekend for sure!

Beak Bites

A while back now I had the opportunity to create a new brand for a local company's product line. The pitch went over well and it was decided that we would also do a couple of animated commercials. This gave me an chance to write the scripts (which I've always wanted to do) and direct (which I hadn't done in a long time). I was lucky enough to be able to enlist the talents of Sasa Radosavcevic (design), Don Gauthier (backgrounds) and Steve Whitehouse (board) to work on the project, which was produced at Story City.

The first one (my favourite of the two) has not yet gone into production ,but here is the second one...
