I made this illustration for an upcoming group show with friends at Keep Six Gallery in Toronto.

This illustration titled “Squidface and The Meddler” was originally made as a submission for AWOL Gallery’s Square Foot show, here in Toronto.
Inspiration for this came from all over – Moby Dick, japanese prints, mostly children’s stories, myth and folklore about sea monsters.
Little handbag dogs were the inspiration for this illustration about animals as fashion accessories.
This is the latest illustration in a series about hair, mostly inspired by a recent home trimming.
I’ve always loved Japanese woodblock prints and have been waiting for an opportunity to work their style into one of my illustrations.
I visited a Day of the Dead celebration this weekend and couldn’t help but copy some of the sugar skull deigns for this illustration.
