Randomness

2011-09-19T00:32:00.004-04:00

I've been playing around with colour a lot

lately in my free time. I still don't like using

more than 3 colours usually. It always bugs me when

people use too many colours. Let me know what

you think if you have a moment. Cheers!

Hockey logos

2011-04-08T00:19:00.000-04:00

A couple of years ago I was put into contact

with a guy that had an interest in doing a clothing

company. I did up a bunch of logos for him over

the subsequent months. Here are a few of my favorites.

Hopefully, this project will get off the ground

I had a blast doing all the designs.

and Hockey Factory.

Jimmy Two Shoes creatures

2010-11-05T00:04:00.000-04:00

Having just finished up on the second season of Jimmy Two Shoes,

I decided to post some of my designs inspired by the show. In the design style

hopefully reminiscent of the character designers Steve Lambe and Kyle Marshall.

I hope I did them proud! Cheers.

It'll be nice to have free time again. Cheers.

Jimmy Two Shoes II

2010-09-25T13:10:00.001-04:00

Now that Jimmy Two Shoes Season 2 has aired on Teletoon, I figured I'd post some designs from this past season. Another great season, working with some really talented individuals. Check out Kyle Marshall, Josh Gay and Steve Lambe's stuff, as well as the creator/director Sean Scott. Well done fellas!!

Spellirium creatures

2010-07-29T22:43:00.004-04:00

I was contact a little while ago to do some designs for

a video game company out of Toronto called Untold Entertainment.

The were working on a downloadable word puzzle game called Spellirium.

They needed someone to populate their world with monsters and

creatures. Something for the heroes of the story to fight and destroy in their quest.

A perfect marriage if there ever was one. I eagerly anticipate the release of the game

to see the final product.

I've been reading some of that "Blackest Night" nonsense going on at DC Comics lately. I'm a little lost, but I've always thought that the Green Lantern was pretty cool. Here's a little Red Lantern action for ya. Cheers.

Recent logo designs

2010-04-21T16:38:00.001-04:00

The Thing

2010-01-30T01:45:00.001-05:00

I had a couple of free hours tonight, so

I thought I'd clean up an older design I'd done.

It's a take on The Thing, in case you weren't

familiar with the character. Cheers.

Pirate fun!

2010-01-12T19:17:00.000-05:00
