Side Note - Homo Floresiensis Illustration Published in the Netherlands!

Something cool - one of the researchers working on the tiny hominid Homo Floresiensis (of Flores, Indonesia) got in touch with me about using my painting of the little fella months ago. Lo and behold, last month, that same researcher referred a Dutch science reporter to me, and I got my illustration into a Dutch newspaper (specifically, the Dutch daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad)! Thanks to Hester and Hanneke!

New Prophet Issue out today - and Art Show Next Week!

First off, we've got another issue of prophet - issue #38, in fact, made by the usual crew but with some flatting help from my talented homette Jessica Pollard - out on the shelves today!

But MUCH more excitingly, I've got an art show coming up next week on Main Street in Vancouver at the Hot Art Wet City gallery! Alongside three of the greatest local talents (Tony Cliff, Rebecca Dart, and of course Brandon Graham), we're putting up a show all about the dirty little secrets of commercial art - the process!

Podcast and Vacation!

I'm currently on vacation at the moment (Pictured above - Tayte McRae and myself constructing a sweat lodge outside Pincher Creek, Alberta), but my friend Daniel Bensen has put up another podcast! "Starring" Daniel, Memo Kosemen, and myself, it's an awesome and imaginative romp through a post "war of the worlds" universe, talking about all the juicy sci-fi parallels with the colonial and post-colonial experience that said setting could provide.

Have a listen here!
