Archetypes Series 2 and 3



I am working on a new set of Archetypes. The concept now is to create archetypes that are stereotypes of a demographic. Different Neighbourhoods involve distinct characters that in whole stereotype the neighbourhood. There will be a total of 10 characters that will represent the neighbourhood of Forest Hill, Toronto(series 2). series 3 is still in the works and will be another set.

More to come soon.

Exclaim City Cover Guide


This piece is for a cIty guide cover. The theme is to emphasize traffic in Toronto and the essence of the city itself. The busy street corner is reminiscent of queen st throughout the day. The Art Director of Exclaim is a pleasure to work with and he made it easy to understand the concept of the illustration. The piece is a full bleed spread illustration that will fold in the middle. Will show you soon the guide when it is out.

Overall a fun piece. And look forward to working with Exclaim in the future

promotional material for local community center



I was approached to design the "look" of a small company that involves educating children. The small educational center is opening at a local fitness building. The name of the place 1,2,3... was assigned, overall it was a fun making this appeal to a parent and younger audience.

character design for Ad concept




These racoons were developed for an ad concept promoting sympatico bell. I had to oblige to certain limitations within the design and layout, but the characters were created and used to sell the concept. The racoons are not in the final stages of development but were used as an example to sell the idea. Since the turn around was very fast they could not have been finalized. The intention for this ad was to be used for a direct mail promotion. The existing ads for the Ad agency were generic and commited to photography. The ad ultimately was not used but the characters and idea could be a future prospect.
