Milk Thistle

In other news, here is a poster I designed for a group of friends that will be having a show at Function 13 in Kensington Market next month. I got a bit lazy with this poster and did not do the type by hand, as a substitute I used a concoction of Market Deco, Mouse Deco, and Futura Medium. Unfortunately I will not be participating in this exhibit due to my hectic schedule these days. If you are in town on July 10th, be sure to stop by this opening. It promises to be a good time!

In-Class Media

These were in-class assignments for my digital media class. We were given a phrase to work from and roughly 2 hours to complete the illustration from start to finish. It was a great excuse to take advantage of cheeky photoshop effects.

Clint Torino

This is an illustration I created for class a few weeks ago to be intended for Rolling Stone magazine. A portrait of Clint Eastwood in effort to showcase a review of his most recent film, Gran Torino, released in 2009. This image was created from individual ink drawings that were scanned and coloured digitally.
