    About
    I’m a Montréal-based illustrator, artist, and best-selling author, and while the portfolio part of this website may include only a trim two dozen projects, I’ve been part of more than 1000 assignments on five continents since 2002. Other interests: minimalism, maximalism, world and local history, equality, diversity, economics, music, science fiction, historic buildings, pictorial maps, Canadiana, wall art, preserving a 145-year-old home, etc. I’m also a proud member of Illustration Québec.

    My work is very much a collage that doesn’t look like a collage—pieces made from real-world lines, shapes, and textures scanned into a computer that’s used as an infinitely-forgiving Xerox machine, glue, and scissors. These components lose their recognizability in the process, but when repetitively used bring flaws, eccentricities, and geometries that form a visual vocabulary.

  • Ordering Prints
    All prints are printed in-studio with an Epson T3170 on enhanced matte 192 GSM paper. Prints are shipped every Monday and are wrapped in kraft paper, rolled in a protective tube, and then ensconced in a shipping box. I don’t offer framing.


    Once your order is out my door, estimated shipping times are as follows: 3-9 business days within Canada or to the United States, and around 6-10 days or so to get everywhere else. Oh, and you can indeed save some dollars by picking up your order in the lovely Montréal neighbourhood of Pointe St. Charles. If you want that, just select it as an option during checkout.

    Stockists
    Besides being available through my online shop, prints can be bought at the following real-world places: Kit (Calgary), the Fort Heritage Precinct (Fort Saskatchewan), Scandi (Fredericton), Lost & Found (Halifax), Mixed Media (Hamilton), Eh-to-Zed (Harriston), Spruce Moose (London), Sumi’s (Los Angeles), Arloca, L’Affichiste, La Boutique du Musée McCord, Marché St Laurent, Montréal Images, Nuspace and Paperole (Montreal), Gift Horse (Nashville), the OAG Shop (Ottawa), Good Egg, Off The Wall Framing and the Toronto Railway Museum (Toronto), Gifted (Waterloo), and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (Winnipeg).
