2009 is already promising exciting projects along with the publication of a number of projects leftover from 2008. Here's a taste of what you can watch out for.
Outdoor Canada Magazine
- Any day now you should be able to find my spot illustration of an fisherman longing for the good old days of worms, peanut butter sandwiches and lounging on the dock.
Navy Experimental Diving Unit, US Navy
- A year long project for a half page ad! It's a long story but this collection of nine paintings should be seeing the light of day in the coming months.
Maisonneuve Magazine
- I'm not going to give away too many secrets here but I've just signed on to do a few pieces for this super cool Canadian mag. More to come....
There are also a number of pieces on the drawing board. Some will be ready any day some who knows.
The Spring issue of Maisonneuve Magazine is out. Dave Bidini has written a fifth article for them and I'm back to illustrate it. The story is about a soccer tournament where he met a tattooed ex-soldier who wears his life's trials on his body.
It's been 4 years years now and I'm still working with writer Thomas Fleming and creative director Scott Feaster on illustrating tales of the American Revolution for Boys' Life Magazine. The newest issue concludes a two part story about a young African American slave whose father was killed in the war and now finds himself having to overcome his fears to save General Washington from the sabre of General Tarleton.

The Spring issue of Maisonneuve Magazine is out and I received my copy in the mail last week. This is the first installment of a project I'm very excited to be a part of. Canadian writer Dave Bidini is writing four pieces for this magazine this year and I've been hired as illustrator for the series. On page 54 you'll find our first installment. I'm not going to spoil the article, you'll have to pick up the magazine if you want to read Mr. Bidini's article. We start work on the second piece in this series this week. I can't wait.
