Stand As One

Did this painting for the USOM Fall Exhibition at KUMF Gallery.  The show opened yesterday and runs until November 2nd.  Check out details here: http://kumfgallery.com
I displayed it with a box of ribbons, so people could take one and show their support for Ukraine.
Acrylic on canvas.
I like painting all around the canvas as you can see here...

Photoshop barber shop!

Photoshop.  Barber shop.  They were renovating this place but I kind of wanted to preserve it the way it was, plus a few embellishments on my part.  They wanted to redo the window, so this was kind of my proposal.

For the birds...

I recently helped do some work on a birdhouse, designed by Alex Moyle as a neighbourhood improvement project.  I liked it so much I decided to do an illustration of it, just for fun.
