I had the pleasure recently of drawing a portrait of the Lieutenant Governor Of Ontario, Her Honour the Honourable Edith Dumont. She took the time to show me around the gorgeous building (including the incredible art collection she curated) & sit down with me for a chat. Such a special experience.

Why do drivers seem to take more care when a squirrel runs across the road than they do with cyclists

New illustration for the latest @torontolifemag.bsky.social on forthcoming developments in neighbourhoods around the city. The brief was to create a fantasy mash-up community with transit, parks, mixed use, sixplexes & high-rises.

Well I literally just drew the Imperial Pub last week to add to my Toronto bar collection and now they're closing after 81 years (!!!). I guess that's a pretty good run.

Anyway, you can grab your copies (including the original ink & watercolour) here: jaketobin.ca/shop/product...

Some balcony snaps from 6:50am. I’ve lived in this building for seven years now & it’s crazy how many more towers are in this view, with more always being built.
