y'arr

I keep talking to the pirate(s) and doing illustration work for them. This is one for a bike wash on June 13th. The bike pirates are a totally rad collective of volunteers; they teach you how to fix your bike, and they have great politics. Considering I had to get this flyer done in under two hours, I'd say it's pretty darn good. Please pretend that the dark areas are darker.

100 prints

Howdy.
A print of mine, Subtle Body, will be up for auction at Open Studio's Annual 100 Prints auction. 100 prints is an annual fundraiser for Open Studio, the printmaking studio of 401 Richmond, and features 100 juried works by artists who have donated prints to raise funds for the gallery.

The event takes place May 13, the preview is from 6 to 7 pm, and there will be awards announced for several of the prints at 7pm.

A friend of mine, Evy Harevan, works with WASH, Women's Alternative Sexual Health, and asked me to make them a logo. WASH is an organization which increases awareness and understanding of women's sexual and reproductive health. I drew two logos, and Evy combined the best parts of them to create the final version. If it's totally unclear, this is a uterus, with a face in profile inlay.

CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

This is my print for the OCAD print exchange with Emily Carr University of Arty + Design, I did 71 prints, 50 are for the exchange. The text and composition are original, the art is pure Jack Kirby. I don't CMYK very often...

A SHOW!

Teresa Aversa and Michelle Galletta, both printmakers, have organized a show, Honorary Catholic, opening March 19 at Board of Directors.

The Gallery is at 1080 Queen Street West, the show runs from the 19th to the 29th, the reception is the 19th from 6 to 9 PM.

The show looks at religious kitsch, the commoditization of religion and the show is going to operate like a mini sale. There will be a lot of Catholic paraphernalia for sale, most around ten dollars, nothing over one hundred dollars.

Be there.

COMICS!

I keep talking about this comic I'm doing for B' Mo Crazy. It's done. I need to make a cover though.

It's being included in the lyrics, each page is based on a song on the disc, so there are sixteen pages. I'm selling copies of the comic by itself on thursday at OCAD.



Here are two of the pages.
