Illustration for the Feathertale Review, issue #5. It was drawn for a true story about a skunk who tried to force himself upon a female pit bull.

Banff Springs Hotel, Banff

Canada Day in Banff, drawn while sitting on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Bow river.

Queen Street, Toronto

This is the first drawing I drew in my sketchbook when I moved back to Toronto in September.

Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa

While on vacation in Ottawa in September. I went to the National Gallery and walked around the downtown. I drew this while sitting in a park until the light disappeared.

Rock Poster for a Rock Poster Show

i am robot and proud

I am participating or participated, depending on when you read this entry, in a show that will be on display this November 15th, Post No Bills - A Celebration of the Rock Poster. I haven't done very many rock show posters so I just decided to pick what I was listening to at the time which was i am robot and proud. I am truly sorry if you're in a rock band and don't like this poster.

Feathertale Magazine Cover

2009-10-26T19:26:00.002-04:00

You might have noticed that our fine furried friend and publisher of the Feathertale Review, D'Artagnan is enjoying his pipe and favourite newspaper whilst waiting for the next subway... Enjoying that is of course until the next train came careening into the station causing havoc and mayhem the likes to which no simian has ever born witness. Only you can help set things straight by finding D'Artagnan and his newspaper, pipe, pocket watch, hat, and glasses. Otherwise he will never learn the scores from yesterday's hockey matches. Lo!

My contributions for the fourth Feathertale Review.

Thirteen Endings in Search of a Beginning

by Chris McMahen

5. "With all due respect, Captain, it appears your theory was somewhat erroneous," the first mate Selkirk said as the ship sailed over the edge of the Earth and into oblivion

6. Edwin knew that Deidre would eventually discover the truth. And yet, it still came as a surprise when she set fire to the outhouse with him inside.

Calgary Folk Fest

Sam Roberts at the Calgary Folk Fest 2008

I got there late and missed the Weakerthans set. I had to sit so far back that if I tried to draw the stage Sam would have been a tiny speck. So instead I drew the TV screen and some girls.

Gomez at the Calgary Folk Fest 2009

This was my first time listening to Gomez. I haven't been able to form an opinion of them, but they're British and they won a mercury prize, so the must be good. So at the risk of sounding like an idiot I will just agree with you.

Apostle of Hustle at the Calgary Folk Fest 2009

This was a nice intimate set on one of the side stages. I think I was the only person who wasn't passionately transfixed on Andrew Whiteman.

To All the Albertans I've Loved Before...

This is for the person who was offended by my Oil Patch Illustration. I'm afraid that they also threatened to secede from Canada.

Dear Sir! I would have you know that I too have worked, albeit somewhat indirectly, for the oil sands industry. Here are two jobs that I did for New Technology Magazine. For the record, I would also like to add that they were a delightful client to work with.

Stephen Harper is a nerd

2008-10-04T14:03:00.002-04:00

I heard an internet rumour that Stephen Harper was a huge Star Trek TOS fan. Going so far as to have cosplayed at a convention back before his public life. I figured since it is an internet rumour then it must be true. I mean it makes sense, he obviously models his public persona after Spock and the Vulcans. Helmet hair... check... cold robotic-like demeanour... check... ~~logical~~ ideological views... uh... experiences fits of rage... hmmm... Opportunistic, warmongering and Hawkish at times... Actually come to think of it, it seems like he is more Romulan than Vulcan.

Anyway, cheers to the Romulan Conservative majority we will no doubt be living through for the next four years.

Show + Book for Work/Life

This Thursday June 5 I am participating in a show and book launch at Uppercase Gallery in Calgary.

Radiohead On Rainbows

2008-03-04T01:33:00.002-05:00

Somewhere along the line I thought it would be a good idea to put Radiohead On Rainbows as opposed to being In Rainbows, as they would like you to believe.

The Oil Patch

2007-12-13T18:56:00.000-05:00

I've only lived in Alberta for few months now, but I'm getting the impression that all the politicians are concerned with is what goes on in the oil patch. It seems to focus their attention away from other issues at hand.

Blue Haired Crime

2007-12-05T19:53:00.000-05:00

This is a wee 5-page comic I contributed to for this year's FeatherTale Review. It's a funny magazine and will be a sure hit with the ladies this holiday season.

I finally have a scanner, so here are a few drawings from the last little bit that I haven't been able to add.

Girls at beach at HTO park at the end of Spadina st. and a couple eating dinner at the Gladstone.

More views from HTO park.

These drawings were done inside a few Chapters/Indigos.

Some life drawings as well.
