Organizing, cataloging, drawing and coloring 108 birdhouses was a bit obsessive, but I also found it to be deeply rewarding. Two of these were printed in American Illustration 25. I've also put up a handful of these up over at Illogator. Check it out!

Everybody around here was buzzing with excitement about the big trade yesterday, with Toronto shipping out six roster players in exchange for the hulking defenseman Dion Phanuef and J. S. Giguere. Nothing like cleaning house on a mediocre and disappointing team. Go Leafs, there's always next year! Closer to home, I took advantage of the deep freeze this weekend to flood the backyard rink. My son Lucas is off school today and is banging the puck in the net and working on his moves. He's got this between his skates dangle spin backhand to the top shelf thing almost down. Hockey dreams live. Not much else survives in the dead of winter.

I've been getting a large number of requests for the mechanical collages I've developed recently. This gave me a chance to work with a great new subject - tentacles! I worked on a number of sketches and played around with the idea behind the article: a foreboding tale of a lonely Christmas visited by a dark entity. If you want to know more you will have to read the article.



I wanted to make sure the elements worked together, so I poured a fair bit of effort into these sketches. Plus I was having a lot of fun with these!



Check out the final, full color illustration here. Happy Holidays!
