Applied Arts Awards Annual Party

I'm going to Applied Arts' launch party for their Illustration annual tonight at 6:30. My Boston Globe Illustrations of Abraham Lincoln will be on display along with other award winning entries.

The exhibit will be open again to the public on Friday, July 13 from 10am-3pm at Toronto's Studio One.

Secular Confession Booth

Well, the secret's out. Mayor Miller held a press conference announcing this year's Nuit Blanche at the Museum Of Contemporary Art (MOCA) yesterday. This year's artists and their projects have been announced. So, here it is: Secular Confession Booth, the event I'll be running (with Jesse Ewles) at this year's Nuit Blanche. Below is the press copy for the event.

"Do you have a troubled conscience? Introducing the world's first Secular Confession Booth - its cheaper than a shrink with no possibility of eternal damnation. Secular Confession Booth offers mature, attentive personnel who will hear your confession. . . judgment free and of course, what's said in the booth stays in the booth."

See you on the 29th.

New Spacing illustration

I just finished a new illustration for Spacing magazine. Take a look.

Boomer Portrait

I was commissioned to do this portrait for a guy's retirement party. I can paint baby boomers too.

Victory

I just got the confirmation - I'll be putting on an event at Nuit Blanche! Be sure to circle October 1rst on your calendar.

Nuit Blanche

My idea for a Nuit Blanche exhibit has just been short-listed. Nuit Blanche is a city-wide art exhibit that will run all night on October 1. Last year's show was the best thing I've ever see Toronto put on. I can't say what my own idea is yet - its still top secret. My collaborator Jesse Ewles and I are just sending some further clarifications to the city. If they like what they hear, we'll be running an installation in Zone A. Keep your fingers crossed

Canadian Lawyer illustration

This sweet baby will be appearing in the new issue of Canadian Lawyer magazine.
