I am an artist living in Toronto, Canada. My work is shown in various galleries including La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles. I also sell stationery, t-shirts prints, posters and limited edition vinyl figures. In addition. commercial illustration is a big facet of my career and I have worked for numerous clients including Rolling Stone, Time, Esquire, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, Converse, Sony, MTV and Coca-Cola. My first vinyl toy, "The Toy Monkey", was launched last year and includes a special edition specifically created for The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. The Whitney Museum also asked me to donate a limited edition silkscreen print to be given to top donors at their annual fundraising Art Party. Aside from my gallery shows and illustration work, I devote a portion of my time to lecturing and teaching art at various arts organizations and schools. Currently, I am working on completing my children's book, 'This Is Silly' which is being published by Scholastic (release date: Fall '08).
