Taps Magazine Spring 2011

Here are two illustrations I created for the Taps Spring 2011 issue.

The first is part of an article about beer preferences of British factory workers during the 19th century.

The second illustration is part of an article about dry-hopped beers.

Taps Magazine Winter 2010/11

Illuatration for an article about beer raters/amatuer critics.

The first illustration is the polished version, but the art director liked the qualities of the sketch/mock-up more than the polished and so that was the version that was used in print.

Taps Magazine Illustration

This is an illustration for an article in the Taps Magazine (Canada's national beer magazine) Fall 2010 issue. The illustration is in relation to the article about Canada's first (unsuccessful) brewery and Jean Talon - the man who initiated the project. Pick up the issue to read the article and see how the illustration relates to it. Plus it's a grand magazine all around.

Revisiting/recreating an old favourite

Back in the university days at the college paper, MONDO Magazine, we came up with an idea for a place mat, with games, for a made-up burger joint called MONDO Burger. I had to come up with some characters. I felt like revisiting this gem and rebooted one of the games to give it a renewed look. Featured here are Detective Delicious and the ever burger-crazed Burger Buccaneer. A bit absurb, but fun. Can you find what's different with each picture, kids?

Oh, I also included the original to compare, remarkable how one can get better.

And also, MONDO is still going strong, now as a web magazine - mondomagazine.net

Mayday Storyboard

Here's a condensed version of a storyboard I did for an upcoming episode of Mayday. What you're seeing in these images, in a nutshell, is as the plane rises the right engine begins smoking, plane rocks. Then left engine starts on fire. As the plane goes down the pilots see a snowy field. They crash into the pines - right wing breaks off, into the field - plane breaks apart, and all survive. Cool, no?
