Surtex!

Can't wait to find out how it went in New York City! I have been spending many months putting together illustrative collections for the talented team at Sorry You're Happy, an art licensing and surface design duo. I've been following a bit of the show on twitter, and saw a great article on Uppercase (courtesy of my friend Tracy Walker). I hear both Jen and Kyle are beat (they just got back today), but I am so excited about the show, the work and new possibilities that I thought I'd write just a little bit about it!

Pen Club

I rarely go to this fun grouping of visual interpreters (ok, illustrators and friends), but it's nice to have a beer, chat with friends, and draw.

Exciting News

Hi! I haven't written in a while, but that's because I've been concentrating my efforts on some exciting new work that will be unveiled later next month! I'm currently working with an amazing duo, Jen and Kyle at Sorry You're Happy, and creating work for the art licensing market. They will be heading to Surtex for May 20th-22nd. In the meantime, here's a little sneak peek at one of the collections.

Hand lettering class update!

What a great night of brush work and discussion! The weather was ideal, the group was enthusiastic, and on top of all that, it was fun. There was a lot of experimentation with letter types, using brush and ink, with a bit of hand cut type and some twig and ink as well. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better evening to inaugurate my teaching skills. Thank you fellow hand letterers, thank you Julia for taking pictures and thank you Nook!

Hand Lettering Class

I'm teaching my first ever hand lettering class at Nook, 156 Augusta Avenue, Toronto ON M5T 2L4, on Thursday March 22. If you are looking for an introduction to decorative brush and ink, or already have some lettering know how and want a class to explore, then this is for you!

You can find all the necessary information for tickets and materials at Nook. Look forward to seeing you!
