These are his drawings and his designs, I just coloured them up for him and got them ready to print (plus added a few accents of my own!). You can check out his stuff here <a href="https://www.facebook.com/labmonkeynumber9">Lab Monkey Number 9</a>, and be sure to check out his booth at the <a href="http://www.comicontoronto.com/">Toronto Comicon</a>!<br />

Was out sketching at a cafe when the person I was sketching suddenly noticed I was sketching them, so I looked away and caught my image in the mirror next to me and decided, why not! I was taking a different approach to sketching that day and thought it looked kind of cool. So I scanned it in and thought I'd have a little fun experimenting with it...<br />
(ball point pen, photoshop).<br />

I may still change a few things, I had originally had in mind an additional scene for the bottom but ran out of time so compromised. I may update this yet, but for now...<br />
<br />
And here is an excerpt of the poem by Taras Shevchenko that was given for the illustration (it's actually pretty long) So most of my illustration is based on this small part, but I had intentions on referencing some later bits as well such as; there is a maiden waiting in a meadow, the son is taken away for war, the mother becomes an old woman lamenting the loss of her son waiting for his return and in the end SHE is the owl.<br />
<br />
The Owl<br />
<br />
In a green wooded valley<br />
A mother bore a son;<br />
She gave him eyes most beautiful,<br />
Brows like a benison.<br />
And all the saints the dame besought<br />
That he with luck might live:<br />
"May God's own Mother grant all grace<br />
That mothers cannot give!"<br />
His bath at dead of night she drew<br />
With periwinkles prim;<br />
Till midnight he was cradled soft,<br />
Till dawn she sang to him...<br />

Mom, we did it! Let the kids decorate the Christmas tree. Today marks the winter solstice, and the sky kind of makes me think of that.

It's having it's world premiere tonight in the US on the Science Channel so I can show you this now. This is just some of the work I did, one of the main characters on which this documentary is based - behold Antigonus, the last king of Israel.<br />

First I created each element separately - the poppy, the helmet and hats, the tartan, the hat band and even the lettering. I couldn't find a font that I liked for this project, so I set myself the challenge of creating my own. Even though it is a very simple font, it was more of a challenge than you might think! There are a lot of things to be taken into consideration when designing an alphabet! The next challenge was to recreate the 48th Highlanders tartan, as well as the 48th Highlanders hat band. The hat band was simple but the tartan was an exercise unto itself! I wanted to make sure I could replicate the look of woven fabric, best to zoom in for a better appreciation.<br />
