"Tah-Dah" wins its' first award!

I received some great news today from the folks at the Canada International Film Festival, hosted in Vancouver, BC in March, 2010! Read some of the email below the poster :)


"Congratulations! Your film has been chosen to receive the Royal Reel Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2010 Canada International Film Festival.

The Festival will take place March 19 - 21, 2010 in Vancouver, Canada.

You are invited to accept your award in person at the Closing Night Awards Ceremony at the 2010 Canada International Film Festival."

Yahoo! I won in the Best Animation category, which is superfab. I'd love to go in person to accept the award... who knows, perhaps I'll find myself around there in March :)

Kooky caricatures

This past weekend, a great pal of mine asked me if I wanted to come and do caricatures at her big work party. Sure, I said! I had no idea it would be for about 200 people! I ended up drawing straight for almost 6 hours, and I managed to caricature 48 people by the end of the evening. What fun it was!! Here's a few pics from the eve :)



















I can't wait until the next event!

artschoolreviews.ca

I was asked by a great guy, Michael Ngo, working over at artschoolreviews.ca, if I wouldn't mind writing a review of my experiences at Sheridan College.

The idea of them having this great site designed to help anyone who is looking into various colleges and wanting honest feedback from people who have gone before them, is a great one! So of course I was happy to write one from my humble experience.

Click on the image above if ya wanna check it out, and thanks Mike!

Buffalo girls wontcha come out tonight....

A quick holiday sketch I did during "It's a Wonderful Life"... one of the great Jimmy Stewart's best!

Memories for Christmas :)

This was the first year in a few years that my life wasn't consumed with school, so I was able to think ahead a bit more for Christmas gifts for my fam :) I made a few photo books of some of the greatest trips I have spent with my family, click on the books to view them online!

Memories are the best gifts, I think. No need to return or exchange them!
