Happy Holidays

My son is coming home from University tomorrow. So excited to have everyone home again for Christmas. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Holiday Season!

Cheers!

Wrapping Up, part 1

It's been a busy year, a lot of great projects completed. I thought I would share a few images from recent assignment work to tie things up.

But first, here is my dog, when he was a puppy, to get everyone warmed up and feel the joy of the season.

 He's the best.

I'll start off with the good news, let's keep our spirits up. I love book assignments. Here's a recent cover assignment for Anvil Press, featuring Albert Einstein. I have worked with them on a number of projects. I proposed a series of sketches, the publisher loved them so much they opted for 2 versions of the Atomic Storybook. Here's the first:

 

The plan during the Cold War by the U.S. to set off a nuclear explosion on the moon received some press last month, with a great segment by Colbert. Crazy, unbelievable stuff, but given the times, anything could have happened. I did an alternate version of Einstein for the other cover. Love that face. Here's a detail from the second cover

Enjoying some down time this month. Fixing up the house and getting ready for the Holidays. Had a great time at the Nook Holiday Sale a couple of weeks ago and spending time at the rink watching my son play hockey. Who needs the NHL?

Relaxing with some Holiday cheer. Thanks to Joel Kimmel, who gave me one of these this summer. My new favourite beer.
