One Way Or Another


I’m excited to announce I’ll be working with Contributor on a unique charity art auction! Rather than try to weakly summarize what the whole thing is about, here’s the official press release.

ABOUT “ONE WAY OR ANOTHER”

We’ve teamed up with Society6 and Club Mumble to curate our second art show in support of Contributor. Building on the success of last year’s group show, “One Way Or Another” plays upon the personal nature of a skateboard. Things like how you grip your board, how loose your trucks are, and heck, how you know that the size of your wheels down to the slightest of millimeters will make the hugest difference. In the end, this little wooden toy seems to be made just for you.

Combining an open call at Society6 and a group of specially invited guests (curated by Andy Jenkins, Bob Kronbauer, Sandro Grison, Justin Cooper, Mike Giles & Annie Lam), we have selected over 40 artists/collectives from around the world to create original artwork on full-size blank maple decks. These specially made boards will be sold at our online shop, with all the proceeds going directly back to getting skateboards to kids across Canada.

What makes this project unique is that rather than people buying a already finished piece of artwork, their purchase will commission an artist/studio to make a board especially for them, so when it arrives, it’s an awesome surprise – kind of like a familiar chocolate with a hidden tasty centre!

Ocular Invasion in Semi-Permanent 2010


I don’t think I can properly convey how ecstatic I am to have my piece “Fight Dirty” published in Semi-Permanent 2010. In the years since I first submitted this piece to Semi-Permanent (and didn’t get in), I feel like I’ve grown leaps and bounds as an artist: it’s nice to know they agree with me.

You can pick up a copy of the Semi-Permanent 2010 book here.

I may make this available as a wallpaper as I’m not really sure what else to do with it.

things are changing ’round here


You may have noticed the site slowly changing over the past few weeks. I’m trying to refine navigation, design a better shop, make my blog more meaningful–you know, fun stuff. In this effort, I’m going to reduce my rss feed to just blog posts. I think it’ll let me present things like downloads and new work in a more controlled way. It’s kinda messy when I launch a new download or post a new project in my portfolio then a blog post about its process, you basically get the same post twice.

If this doesn’t end up working out, I’ll revert back to a master feed. I’ll just wait to see how it goes.


MSCE Day 31 – 35


I know I said I was going to stop at 30 but it’s just way too much fun. I won’t be making stuff everyday though. I’ll just post after every five like I’ve been doing.
Note: The sketches were made during my trip to Boston so there was no computer access.
