Daft Punk - Futuro Punkaris Monumentus - Gauntlet Gallery

I recently created a limited edition 16×24″ print for Gauntlet Gallery’s Daft Punk show ReDiscovery.  Two prints actually, Futuro Punkaris Monumentus – “Sun” & “Moon”, depicting a future society where a gigantic monument has been created in tribute to Daft Punk.  People, animals & aliens gather from all around to get down! Even Pikachu, Micheal Jackson, Rooney Fruits the Angel Dancer and a pink elephant from Dumbo joined the fray.  In all there are 74 dancers. Nearly broke my mind completing this so I hope you enjoy the festivities. Here’s a rough breakdown of all the characters – 3 lizards (plus 1 lizard man), 4 cats, my lovely wife (3x), my cute dog Football, 1 polar bear, 5 mice, 1 Gnisha, 5 monkeys (gibbon, spider, orangutan…), 2 rabbits, 27 ladies (including a 4 armed blue skinned gal), 22 fellas, 2 babies, 1 Pokémon, and a partridge in a pear tree. The gentlemen behind the helmets, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Thomas Bangalter, are even in there.  This was an absolute beast to do, but once I started I just had to complete the vision. Below are a bunch of detail shots.

Both versions are available exclusively through the Gauntlet Gallery A 20×30″ canvas print is also available.

They are limited edition so scoop one up quick.  Links below.

Step Brothers, Dragon & Nighthawk 4Eva!

Step Brothers is a classic.  Yeah, it's dumb and juvenile but for me it's a friggin masterpiece. When I was approached by The Bottleneck Gallery to be in their "I Love You man" show about bromances, it didn't take me long to think of that film. The image is inspired by the dialogue from when Dale & Brennen first meet. The exchange "Call me Dragon" "Call Me Nighthawk". I imagined them flying high in the sky, riding atop mighty beasts, screaming their nuts off.  I especially pumped to draw a dragon for the first time in years, been too long , look for more soon - one of the main reason why I did this piece.  Had a blast bringing it to life, enjoy!

Below are print shots

It's a limited edition (50) 13x19" giclée print on 190gsm fine art rag. 1" white border around the edges.

Toronto Life Illustrations - Mayor Rob Ford's Magical Mystery Tour

When Toronto Life's AD Bradley Reinhardt asked me to illustrate a series featuring their city's Mayor Rob Ford at work on his North American Tour, I nearly jumped out of my shoes! Mr. Ford is such an amazing leader and a wonderful guy. Toronto, NAY, the world, is lucky to have him. Let's follow him on his adventures...

 First up, here he is at the closing ceremonies of the Pan Am Games.  The crowd loved him!

 Stopping by Calgary Stampeder's locker room.  He's always welcome there.

 Networking with other tourists in Chicago's Millennium Park!

 Studying the effects of climate change down in Florida.

 Finally, after a grueling public relations tour, he rewarded himself with an ice cream cone and trip to Walt Disney World. 

Go on, you deserve it, Mr. Ford!

 Here's the layout as featured in Toronto Life.  It's such a funny, cutting take on Rob Ford's tenure as Mayor, there's many more pages of content about him as well. Check it out denizens of Toronto, unless you actually support him... it may prove bothersome to say the least.

Special thanks to Bradley for the terrific assignment, cheers!
