HELLO! If you’ve been wondering if I died, you are mistaken. The lack of recent posts has been due to an overwhelming amount of time (last minute as usual) recently put into the latest installment of We Hate This Place Here; It’s Our Home. Chapter two, Food Court, is ready for its premiere at this weekend’s upcoming Royal Bison Art & Craft Fair. Written by David Berry and illustrated by moi, this chapter also comes in at a hefty defty 35 pages, printed in sweet, glorious black and white, just like its predecessor. Oh, and it will be hand bound by yours truly, as well.
Once this weekend’s Royal Bison is complete, I’ll have chapter two ready for purchase on the ol’ online shop. Until then, I ask that you are patient.
Delkographik, based out of Rennes, France, is putting on a show entitled Fifteen, showcasing 15 cartoonists from around the globe. Each of us has been asked to produce one serigraph ready “comic strip” image to be printed by the talented Anaick Moriceau for the show. How nice to not have to worry about doing all the print work and having to mail it all the way across the Atlantic. Oh the internet! The list of other included artists / cartoonists is international, awesome, and includes one of my personal favourites, VICE‘s own Johnny Ryan. Oh, and it’s in French, yay!
My submitted image is above, dealing with the plight of having a face that endlessly transforms. The torment!
A nice handful of illustrations about meat were completed for EuroMan out in Denmark a while ago for their April Issue, which is out now! I received the issue in the mail a few days ago, and even though I can’t read Danish, this is one good looking magazine. Definitely one of the highest calibre mags to use my images to date, I’d say. If you check out the editorial section on my website, you can see a few more images from the series. MMM mmm meat! This would be my second time working with their ultra nice AD, Sune Ehlers. What a guy!
It’s coming along a bit slower than it should be, but coming along nonetheless. Chapter Two! of the We Hate This Place Here; It’s Our Home saga continues, and you can expect to see it ready for release by the 1st of May, just in time for the 8th Biannual Royal Bison. Written by writer extraordinaire David Berry and illustrated by yours truly. I’ll post a few more teaser images as info as it’s completion approaches.
I was recently asked to whip up a poster for the Improv Boys’ upcoming Canadian tour. I was aiming for the old crest / coat of arms motif that I feel very fond of, with a cartooned twist. I think it conveys the necessary amount of Canadiana to me, and can’t wait to see this one in print! Now off to work on some overdue work for a zine out of Argentina and an art show in Rennes, France.
