MetaJets

Clement Sauve did a lot of the initial design work for this show. After he left the project, I was asked to try and emulate his design style and do some of the work he unfortunately wasn't able to complete. Clement was a really talented fellow.

Peanuts- Metlife Superbowl

I still prefer doing hand drawn animation opposed to the computer generated stuff, even if it's only a few scenes here and there. The Peanuts characters are great designs and it was nice to have the opportunity to draw them. Dan Sumich from Passion-Pictures directing again.

Planet Snak

Chuck Gammage put together the pitch for this job. He designed and colored the 3 characters in less than an hour. Later that morning the both of us drove into Toronto to meet the agency creative and we were subsequently awarded the job. Chuck truly is a titan in the animation industry. He is able to design and draw anything in any style in record time.

I did these with acrylic paint back before I was introduced to Photoshop, or before Chuck's studio was building product in CGI. The cookies were painted on card and the bite marks were painted on an acetate overlay.

I drew all the Backgrounds for this commercial and Clive Powsey painted the majority of them (non digital). The box logos (Oreo, Ritz, Chocolate chip) where added later in post.

Lacrosse

My parents occasionally 'sign' me up to do various design work for people in the local community near where they live. This one I did while I was working in the UK years ago. The brief was to have a classic cartoony WB sort of feel. Apparently the team was happy with the image and so was my mom because I let her keep the payment. Once I was paid with a roast of Emu, which is quite tasty. A few times I have been paid peanuts...

Felix Catfood

I was asked to do a few different design takes for Felix catfood during one of my working trips to London England. The agency wanted to completely re-in vision him. Here are only some of the images.
