Big Red has a garage full of big red machines. Join Elliot, Jessica and Big Red as they discover the Ice Machine, the first, and find out what goes into making the perfect ice.
This project has been full of character development and getting to draw the ice machine was a return to early childhood when they seemed as important as the hockey. Another element I enjoy greatly is that the book will be available in Francais and English, this prompted once again a return to childhood and old hockey jerseys.
The app will be ready for iPhones and the iPad by May 30, 2010. Phase two will feature interactive elements on each page along with audio.

I have had the fortune of collaborating with Calgary based musician Matt Blais on the design of his last two albums. His latest album, Let It Out is available now. I recommend a listen and live show, on stage his talent pours out and wins you over.

Our teachers taught us the importance of reading for illustrators, it is a way to expand and distill your imagination. It forms a connection to the relationship of words, I am of the school that believes illustration is more powerful when paired with words.
It is no coincidence that when I am reading well, I am drawing well.

In 2006 I started a digital sketchbook on flickr, it became my daily ritual. It was instrumental in me understanding that creativity is like any other discipline. It needs to be nurtured daily, like practicing your chords. Understanding the themes present, I recently reorganized and structured the collection.

This spring I was interviewed by Melanie Woytiuk for the ACAD alumni magazine, Catalyst. It gave me a great opportunity to reflect on my career and time spent at the art college, a lasting impression it was an enjoyable experience.
