Yet more cross-promotion...
Hello, So the Tarot deck that I’ve been slaving away on is now printed and available! There was that whole re-locating to Europe thing that happened, so they get shipped to you from glamorous Berlin (which impacts shipping costs). All details available here: http://bit.ly/13oPJzs

Whoops!
Let me tell you all a little story.
My hard drive crashed a month or so ago, and I lost the original scans of the last 11 Lurking drawings. So I begin scanning away, and realize that towards the end there, I got a little lazy with titling and dating the drawings.
So here I am, scanning and titling, titling and scanning, when all of a sudden the numbers don’t add up. There are, in fact, not...
News...
Oh hi there.
Two updates: the first is that a selection of Lurking drawings will be published as part of the XXX zine series. I’ll let y’all know when it’s available for purchase.
The second (and heftier) bit of news is that, in slightly less than two weeks, I’m up and going to Berlin for a while. More announcements about that (and what I’ll be up to while I’m there) later, but in the...

A Bit of Cross-Promotion...
Hello, In case you haven’t been following, I’ve been designing and illustrating a Tarot deck. I’ve just finished the Major Arcana images, and thought it a good time to announce that, should anyone want a 7” x 10” archival print of any of the images on the site thus far, I am happy to comply.
Prints are $30 plus shipping. Payment can be made via PayPal. Just send me a...

A Side Project...
Hello, A brief self-promotional announcement: I have started a new illustration project, a fun distraction; I am making a Tarot deck. I’ve flirted with the idea for a long long time, and any flirtation that sticks around for that long deserves to be indulged. If you like, you can track my progress at shotarot.tumblr.com.
Once I’m finished (78 drawings later…although, after the...

And now, the Q&A portion of the evening...
Usually, after artist talks or public performances or some such, there’s always a Q&A, and I always try to leave as fast as I can.
This has been a public performance of a kind, so I thought perhaps, now that I’ve caught my breath and wiped away the shavings and washed the charcoal dust and pencil marks and watercolour stains off my hands, I would open the floor up to any...

The End (or something like it) Is Nigh
So I’ve always thought, even at the outset of doing this project, that it couldn’t very well go on forever. Well, it could, but that doesn’t strike me as worthwhile or interesting. And throughout doing this project, I’ve wondered when and how that ending might occur.
A few months ago, it occurred to me that 300 seems a decent place to stop. Or, if not stop, then take a...

300!
Ta daa!
As usual, the internet and the universe have funny ways of conspiring together. I met my 300th follower at a house party yesterday evening, and now he has his pick of the thus-far 286 drawings on this blog to be delivered unto him in the form of an archival print.
And, as usual, I shall now enumerate the reasons why y’all should follow him: 1. He looks like someone who plays in a...

Counting to 300!
So I’ve had a lot of stuff going on recently, and have slowed down my drawing/posting rhythm (you may have noticed; and if not, never mind!). And yet again, it has been confirmed to me that the internet is like a particularly annoying lover: the less attention you pay it, the more excited with you it is.
To wit: I was just checking up on the ol’ Tumblr, and realized that I have been...

The Great Canadian Kiss-Off →
One of my Lurking drawings is included in this sweet little portfolio of queer kisses in In Toronto Magazine; also included are some ace queer Canucky artists, which y’all should inform yourselves on, if you’re so inclined: Shawna Dempsey and Lori Millan, Kent Monkman, Wrik Mead, Daniel Barrow, and Steven Beckly. And for those in and around Toronto, the actual magazine should be out...

Ich Bin Ein Berliner...
My work will be included in TORONTO/BERLIN 1982-2012, at the Zweigstelle Gallery in Berlin. The show is, very loosely, a kind of survey of Canadian drawing practices; specifically it traces the influence of the ChromaZone collective, a drawing & painting collective formed in Toronto in the early ’80s.
I’m really quite excited, not just because this is the first European showing of...

Just a Wee Interview →
So I’m a character in this book, and I’m in this movie, and I’m in this band, and I keep this here blog (amongst other art projects), and they’re all kind of intertwined, and here’s an excerpt from an interview I (along with the other folk who made the book and the movie and the band) did that’s going to be published in a magazine called One Hour Empire. Enjoy!
