Portrait of 'lil Dave

I did this portrait of Dave, 5 years ago. It's acrylic on canvas. I was working on series of childrens portrait, done all monochromatic. I did 5 in total, then gave it to my friend's afterwards. I'll be posting the other ones very soon.

Illustration Friday - Jungle

Here is my Illustration Friday submission for the theme "Jungle". This piece "Hawaii 5-0" acrylic on canvas, it didn't make it into the girls with guns show, but I thought it would be appropiate.

Oiler's Pie

I made this pie for the Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup playoffs, Game 3 Party. It's an apple pie, with an all butter crust.
GO OILERS GO!

Girls with Guns Show

Here are my submissions to the Girls with Guns Show, in August 2004. This was a group show, that my friend Freshdiscoporkergas was hosting. It was at the Burston Gallery, unfortnately, that gallery has since closed. I sold the first painting that night. My painting is on the left, and my friend Freshdiscoporkergas is on the right.



This was the first painting sold that night at the gallery. "Untitled" (actually I can't remember the name of this piece) - acrylic on canvas.


"Cheeky" - acrylic on canvas.


"Yellow Fever" - acrylic on canvas.

There are another 2 more pieces for this show, but I'll still need to dig them up. I'll put them up soon.

Present for my Mom

This painting was inspired after going to the Orchid convention in Feb 2004. My photos from the show. I gave it to my mom for mother's day that year.
