My new virtual mascot. He’s a time traveling multi-instrumental music man from the future on a journey to seek new inspiration for his latest tunes. When his creative itch starts tingling he returns back to his home to record new tunes in his basement studio lair. Basementvirtuoso.bandcamp.com

2017-2018. Some stylized portraits and caricature art. By this time I had developed a more consistent style of drawing people. Friends were often the subject matter. My first few years of caricatures were very rough but they were essential to my growth! #sketchbook #drawing #portraitart

2016. Pokemon themed caricatures (including my self-portrait). Pokemon Go was VERY popular and I was working as a caricature artist at a zoo. Considering how many folks were coming there to walk and play the game, this was a fun way to encourage them to get a sketch! #pokemon #caricatures

2013-2014. I was dabbling with a bit of fan art at the time and mostly video game characters. Banjo-Kazooie, Sonic, Diddy Kong and Toon Link all present here. Drawn in brush and ink and Copic markers. #fanart #videogames #nintendo #sega

Moving onto the end of 2013 (and beginning of 2014) I started dabbling with learning to draw caricature art. One of my favorites from my older portfolio is this Chris Farley caricature I gifted my friend. Around this time I got a part-time job as a caricature artist at my local zoo. #caricature

These illustrations were intended to be parodies of food and drink advertisements and this poor rabbit fella had to consume them as a way to make his living. These were the back covers to my only 2 self-published comics. I still have 11x17 prints of them if anybody wants any! 😆

Two promo art prints from 2013. One was for my first Canadian comic convention (Fan Expo 2013). I was just starting to get comfortable with using a brush to ink my drawings.

A double-page spread from the same comic. (2013) The context of the scene and story here is that Gordie (a nomadic gnome) stumbles upon a charming town and wants to live there. So he attends a local job fair to seek employment. I like to draw cameos of friends and musicians. (Yes that's Prince)

I'm very proud of this project and the lessons I learned from the making of a self-published comic book. It was a fun way I could exercise my graphic design background with my illustrations. Gordie Gnomo was an all-ages adventure-comedy influenced by 90s cartoons I loved. Only released 2 issues.
