Here’s an illustration I did a couple months ago for the McGill research magazine, Headway. Accompanies an article about the virtues of mobile medical databases.

Nothing like a tech conference to get people to sit still for you.

ANGER MGMT

Here are some birds I drew last week-end.

Book News:

  • Ojingogo was nominated for a 2009 Doug Wright Award. I’m really flattered and happy about that. The awards are at the Art Gallery of Ontario during the Toronto Comics Festival weekend. I’ll be at TCAF all weekend with books, prints, and (hopefully) new minicomics. Really looking forward to it.
  • Ojingogo was also nominated for a 2009 National Cartoonist’s Society Award. The award will be presented next month (May 23) in Hollywood. I’m gonna go check this out. When else would I be welcome in Hollywood? Srsly?
  • Also Ojingogo will be released in Sweden this fall at the Gothenburg Book Fair, by the Swedish publisher Ordbilder. They are a great little publisher and I’m going try to make it over for the launch. But I’ve heard it can be expensive….
  • What else? I just finished teaching my journalism class this year – so I haven’t had time to draw much of anything in the last couple months. I’m wrapping up marking – and it looks like the class is done for good – so I’m excited to hit the drafting table again this week…

    Dr Sketchy life drawing in Montreal

    I went with Cameron to Dr Sketchy (burlesque life drawing) in Montreal this weekend. Here are a couple watercolors.

    Three Gators

    I was home for the holidays and I brought my Montreal sleep-schedule with me. I was doing a lot of painting after everyone else went to sleep. Watercolours. Acrylics. Paints my niece had lying around.

    I have big plans for these little gators (or crocs; whichever you like).

    Printable Holiday Cards

    Here’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while. Giving away a printable hi-res template for a card or something.

    So here you go:

    Download the PDF here

    The cards are about 4″ x 4″ once folded. So you can fit two of them on a standard piece of paper.

    Instructions:
    1) Download
    2) Print them on a colour printer on some kind of rough stock or watercolour paper for the nicest effect.
    3) Trim to your preference
    4) Give them to someone you like

    Happy holidays.
