Cafe Hot Dog

I did these 2 posters for a local cafe.  The cartoon one is a little bit of a caricature of the owner, and the other I wanted to use a lot of shapes and make it sort of like a retro poster art style - I wanted to keep it sort of minimalist.

Done in Photoshop.

Drawn in ink, scanned in,  coloured in Photoshop.

Dutch Dreamin'!

It seems that every time I turn around another one of my favourite places in this city is closing down (or has closed already).  I just found out Wallymagoo's is no more (which I loved!) and Honest Ed's seems as though it's on it's way down the same path.  Soon there will be no unique places of character left at all!  Thankfully Dutch Dreams is still going strong as ever.  The cones are stacked so high, holding it kind of made me think of the Statue of Liberty, hence the tag line...  Now stare up at the clouds and dream of ice cream, or better yet head over and get yourself the real thing!

For the birds!

Just messin' around with one of the blocks I made...

This will give you a good idea of the scale of all of them (all the blocks are the same size).

Abstract shapes self portrait

So I was messing around attempting a self portrait using abstract shapes (sort of).  Things got a little weird but I kinda like it!

Proper footwear

I was playing soccer with some friends - they all had cleats and I only had on slippery runners.  I was slippin' and slindin' all over the place.  There are many reasons why proper footwear would be an advantage not to mention safer -  this is what happened to me!
