Henry's Horrible Monster
Submitted by Eric Orchard Illustration on 02.3.12 at 6:51am.
My wife insists we all have dinner as a family and I'm really glad she does. Otherwise I'd be staring at the computer screen with my eyes glazed over spooning food into my mouth absently. Instead we have great family dinners every night. And one of my favorite parts of family dinner is listening ...

The view from the back seat
Submitted by Contrarian on 02.2.12 at 7:03am.
Alicia Rius, a Spanish born photographer now living in Amsterdam, has produced a series of photographs on one of Contrarian’s favorite visual subjects: abandoned cars. What’s unusual is that all the photos were shot from inside the car, and from the vantage point of the back seat:

The Total Situation
Submitted by Eric Orchard Illustration on 02.2.12 at 6:59am.
My apologies for my uneven posting lately. I've have been crazy busy. Between 2 comic book projects, 2 current commissions and the whole stay at home dad thing, time is at a premium but I'm trying to get on top of it. I think I kind of have the hang of things.......

Polly Gaillard's Reframing: Motherhood, Memory and Loss
Submitted by Crooked House on 02.1.12 at 12:45pm.
Photographs by Polly Gaillard that seem to capture those gorgeous or funny moments you think you'll remember about your children but probably will not. I love this kind of family photography -- not saccharine or posed.

Nocturne
Submitted by Inspired by Gladys on 01.30.12 at 8:22am.
This new painting was inspired by the wonderful Nocturne Art at Night Festival that happens in Halifax, NS in October. After a fantastic night, wandering the streets of Halifax and taking in many of the exhibits, one of the highlights was the ferry ride back to Dartmouth.

I’ve known Construct since before he was Construct. I’ve known him since before he was a DJ or I was a live painter.
I met him in the electronic music scene back in Halifax years ago. Seven years ago, I think.

Sex Motion Candy

This was a blacklight live painting I did at a rave at l’Espace Griffintown. I love painting events there.
For this party, there were oversized inflatable crayons everywhere. Thousands of candies were thrown to the crowd, fitting with the theme.
Note: There was plenty of movement, but I did not...

This is the 6th of a series of artist interviews based on the colours of the rainbow! It has been a fun and interesting project. What impact did each colour have on the individual's life. What is the strongest memory or association with it. We all have our own unique attachments.

A full page spread from Maddy Kettle, which I'm back penciling. I've pretty much mapped out the first story for Robot Museum too, so 2012 has already started off as a sprint. My idea for Robot Museum right now is self publish as a digital only book, for now.

I stare too much…
Submitted by Sharon Hodgson's blog on 01.5.12 at 8:00am.
You can’t separate the artist from the art. I am my art… and my art says something about me that I haven’t really been able to put my finger on until now. I have decided to give up on seeking a relationship entirely. I have had too much attachment to it. Therefore, I have to let it go. I don’t me...

Return to Fat Tuesday’s in Ottawa

This is what I painted the second time I painted at Fat Tuesday’s in Ottawa. The colours are different but equally warm in this piece as the last one.
I have been doing plenty of 2×3 ft pieces lately. I remember when that was a “big” size to me… and now it is small.

Here's a shot of the paper village we always put up around this time of year.

At some point, I used Country Home's plans to make the plain white buildings, whi...
