Elbows still up!!!

Mom and all the kids.

Holy crap. The boy is all growed up. Where did the time go? Off to Dal next year to pursue electrical engineering. But first…a little midday nap on the couch.

Love me some ice cream. This one inspired by the local creamery in Carp. The Carp Creamery has the best ice cream in the world. That’s just a fact. And these days sometimes you need a good ice cream.

A pirate’s life for me — big lines, bad teeth, & boardwalk chaos vibes.
Drew this cartoon mascot for fun but I’m open for commission work: logos, merch, & weirdos welcome.

Had fun going big and bold with the flow.
Hand-drawn in Procreate. Open for character + merch commissions.

Meet Big Bill “The Bristle” McGraw — undefeated in ‘34, feared for his left hook and legendary pompadour.

Weakness: pomade shortages and emotional vulnerability.

Commissions open for mascots, fighters, and weirdos.

Did the #ChaoticDrawAlong tonight w/ @anthonywheelerart – prompt was “Voluptuous Vampire.”
This campy chaos was the perfect break from my Mars Attacks piece.
More streaming on Twitch soon: @drinkydOOdle

HOT DOG!
Gawrsh, I think I just made something deeply unsettling.
If you like cartoon chaos, horror, and mayhem, I’m your guy.
More art drops coming soon.

A little piece I did for a friend who runs Surge MMA in Orleans, Ont. A fun, almost anime style piece. I think this is as close as I will get to anime. lol.

Yeah I’m not there with my art. I have a day job so creating is pressure free. Peace!

Thanks. Mostly I do art for me and hope people will like whatever I dream up or capture. Cheers!

Here’s this weeks iconic #Canadian landmark from my #photography archives. This is the National Gallery of Canada @gallery.ca looking marvellous during Les Grands Feux #fireworks festival.

Another iconic #Canadian location for today to remind us why #Canada rules. Always fun to shoot in #Montreal but on this frigid morning I snuck out one morning while my wife and kids dozed. One of my favourites.
