So life happened...

I feel like I havn't done any artwork in ages!! So the other night after receiving my copy of Advanced Photoshop and seeing that Ballistic Publishing had just released their latest book featuring the best digital artist's work out there I decided that that is where I want to focus my artistic skills. I plan to get much better at digital painting in photoshop to finally find a way of getting all these images out of my head. After starting a quick rough at the weekend I discovered that it's much like learning to draw all over again, so I've got to be patient.

But that's what I'm planning. Just thought I'd announce my intentions in some way to the universe.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you all know that I've recently updated my stock account over at with a bunch of images taken at the zoo, you'll find tigers, wolves, jaguars/leopards/panthers and bears when I get round to get. So go over there and get inspired!

Enjoy the holiday weekend my fellow canadians!!

Hi Everyone,

Needless to say I've been flying below the radar recently!

In the last few weeks I've landed a great Graphic Design Job, moved house, almost bought a new car and then wound up buying my aunt's off her instead, had my mum over for a holiday which wound up to be the most stressful 3 weeks of my life this far - though not because of mum being there! Anyway, the dust has somewhat settled now and I'm in a better place now both mentally and physically and very grateful for my family and friends that have helped me through this rough time.

My new job is great so far, I've just completed my first week and have to keep pinching myself so that I remember that I'm finally doing what I spent 4 hard years working towards! It's so nice to look forward to going to work everyday, and work in such a comfortable environment - I still havn't quite gotten over the fact that I have my own desk and a beautiful 30" mac to work on!
So we will see what this following week brings, for the time-being I'm enjoying my first official weekend since becoming gainfully employed

Hi guys,

Just a quick note that from now on I'll be updating my blog regularly with my graphic design and illustration. One of the many things I've been meaning to do for a while now. Here's the [link] . Let me know what you think, feel free to comment and subscribe.

Thank you as always for your ongoing support, kind comments and favs.
