art prints for the calgary comic and entertainment expo

I'm pleased to announce that I will have a table in the small press section at this years's Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, April 26-28, 2013. My booth will be Q07 (see the map at the end of this post), right next to fellow children's illustrator, Mike Boldt, the intention of which is to have an unofficial children's area among all of the art and booths that are aimed at older audiences.

In preparation for the con, I've spent the last few months making prints, postcards and pins of some of my existing illustrations as well as working on some new pieces for prints that will only be available there. Here's a little look at some of the things I'll have at my table...

Beehive, Balloon Girl and Accordion Player prints:

Cloud Nine and Waving Boy postcards:

I apologize that some of these photos are a bit fuzzy. I'll post proper scans of everything before the convention.

I will have booth Q07 which is circled in pink on the map below. Follow our hashtag #Q07 for Comic Con related updates!

latest promo + portfolio update

This is my latest promo for the children's market, which I sent out as soon as we got back to Canada last month. I also recently updated my website with the new work I created while we were living in Sarajevo (I still haven't posted those pieces on my blog, but they're coming :) Check out my site here.

beehive 2 - painting process

This is the first piece I did when we got to Sarajevo. It's a new, more playful version of a painting I did about a year ago. I didn't have any acrylic paints yet, so this one is all watercolor, graphite and colored pencil.

I'll post the finished piece tomorrow.

Dario and I moved into a flat of our own when we got back from the Highlands and have yet to get our internet hooked up. This is the first time I've been on-line in a while. Now that we are settled in one place I've been able to work on some paintings I had started a few weeks ago.

what i'm working on...

Here's some process sketches for an illo I'm working on. It's based on this sketch from last spring. I thought it would be fun to paint it, but I didn't have time until now.
