Cool to see my linocut art enlarged for the River Oaks Community Centre in Oakville, selected as part of Oakville's Connextions 2025 project. It's a joy to see art integrated into the community!

Sharing a few illustrations from the 2026 Magical Almanac by Llewellyn Worldwide, created in my new digital ink technique.
I still carve lino but am enjoying mixing it up with drawing on the ipad in Procreate. Multiple undos are magical!

In memory of David Lynch, a brilliant filmmaker and creative genius. This digital ink portrait is an ode to his ground breaking student work, Eraserhead.

I was thrilled to receive advance copies of my latest picture book, Blue Boat Home, by musician Peter Mayer for Skinner House Books @skinnerhouse.bsky.social. My new digital ink style accompanies the beautiful lyrics. Official launch is April 2025 but it's available for pre-order now.

I stopped making resolutions due to the high failure rate:) But I like your routine and by making it only a few days a week it's more likely to succeed. I need to find a way to fit in consistent marketing around commissioned work and my own projects which are always on the backburner.
