Ottawa Design Club Zine: Growing Older

A collage for issue 0004 (spring 2022) of the Ottawa Design Club zine, inspired by a David Bowie quote: "Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been." The concept here is of an onion, slowly peeling away layers to arrive at one's true self.

Globe and Mail: Backwards Writing

An illustration for the Globe and Mail, in the Facts and Arguments section. It accompanies an article by Hope Smith, who writes about being left-handed and creativity — and her nifty party trick, which is the ability to write backwards (like Leonardo da Vinci used to do). What made this illustration job particularly fun was the fact that the writer is left-handed, the art director who assigned this to me was left-handed, while I myself am left-handed.

Profit Magazine: Weathering Business Storms

Illustration for Profit Magazine, for a short interview piece with entrepreneurs about mistakes they've made while establishing their businesses, and what they've learned from them.

Globe and Mail: Dickens

When I was asked to do a portrait of Charles Dickens for the cover of the January 28 2012 Books section of the Globe and Mail newspaper, I came up with the concept of Dickens as phoenix, rediscovered by each generation of readers (or reread after a gap of many years, as is the case in the article). Read the story here.

An illustration for the June 28 2011 issue of the Globe and Mail, for a Facts and Arguments piece about a retired man in Nova Scotia's discovery that, as far as the Canadian government is concerned, he doesn't have a middle name — and never did, despite his protests to the contrary.

Globe and Mail: Mixmaster

An illustration for the May 3 2011 edition of The Globe and Mail, for a lovely Facts and Arguments piece about the writer's fond memories of baking with her nana — and how the Mixmaster she inherited from her was a reminder of many happy hours spent in the kitchen. Read the story here.

Texas Monthly: Guilty Eating

This illustration accompanied a very funny article in Texas Monthly by Sarah Bird, who writes about her experience of eating out at a very posh restaurant, generating feelings of guilt (eating grandly during an economic recession) and then feelings of hunger (a dozen tiny courses left her longing for a solid serving of mac and cheese).

Mildred's Temple Kitchen

I'm very proud to have been asked to create the logo for Mildred's Temple Kitchen in Toronto, which opened in the fall of 2008. It's the very successful new eatery by the owners of the wonderful Mildred Pierce restaurant. 

Globe and Mail: Remembrance Day

Globe and Mail illustration for a Remembrance Day story. The writer relates how when he was a child his mother would cover his mouth with her hand to show how he looked like her brother from the nose up. My concept was to tie the past and present together in this piece, with the family resemblance being the link.
