A beautifully written article in the New York Times about Robert Munsch, author of the book, Love You Forever, which I had the privilege of illustrating.

Happy #Caturday ...My book, "Pussycats Everywhere!" is a must-have for all cat loving kids. When her cat, Mr. Whiskers, goes missing, Karen posts posters but neglects to describe her cat. She is soon the host to 37 felines... A sweet story with a satisfying ending. Available at the usual outlets.

Posting a mix of art and books. My latest, "Of Love and Pies"... What happens whenever saying "I Love You" brings heaps of pies? It's a sticky conundrum with a sweet twist of an ending.

An illustration from the 80s. This was for the now-defunct Creeds Furs in Toronto. I loved drawing fashion. Apparently, judging by the crease, I folded this drawing (ouch).

Came across a bunch of fashion illustrations from the 80s. This one was for Via Condotti in Toronto, an ad that ran in the Globe and Mail. Look at those shoulders!

Sorry to introduce politics, but as a Canadian living in Texas, it's been jaw dropping to watch Trump's out-of-left-field attack on Canada. Where is this "Canamosity" (haha! I just made that word up) ... but seriously, where did this come from? Why? Canada is lucky to have Carney.

I'm new here (like many) Thanks for your patience while I get the feel of this site. It's already sooo refreshing compared to the murk of X. To start off, some art... oil on canvas 60" x 36".
