mother mother "the stand" video on much!

I had previously posted some screen grabs of the Mother Mother video I created animations for. You can watch it streaming on the Much Music website now here


















The aspect ratio looks a bit wonky on the much music site, so I hope to get a youtube link to post soon.

mother mother music video!

Over the past while I was fortunate enough to be a part of the new Mother Mother music video! During January I was drawing a ton, working along with my buddy, and extremely talented music video director, John Poliquin (congrats to him on the 4 award nominations he recently received from the East Coast Music Awards). I created illustrations and animations which were in turn put into the music video by After Effects artist Ace Billet. It was one of the funnest projects I have gotten to be a part of, and I was able to have a bunch of creative input which was a big part of that. I never had any direct contact with the band, but from the notes I read they seemed to be fantastic to work with as well.

The song the video is for is called "The Stand" and will be on the new Mother Mother album "Eureka", set for release on March 15 2011, or you can purchase the song on iTunes now. "The Stand" is also streaming on their myspace. Keep your eyes peeled for the video to play on Much Music this month!

Here are some teaser screen shots of my drawings within the music video. I'll post the actual music video as soon as Last Gang Records throws it on youtube.

happy year of the rabbit!

"The Station Recording Company" ink and digital 2011

Last Thursday me and my friend TJ (check out his band String Bridges here) attended Tamara Beatty's CD release party for her newest album February Bloom (listen to some of her music here). It was a lot of fun with lots of great music, dancing and all around good vibes.

A little while ago Tamara had commissioned me to create a piece for her friends over at The Station Recording Co., seen above. I was able to meet them at her show as well when she gave them a framed copy of my illustration, which was pretty awesome.

Make sure to check out their site and The Station Recording artist Clea Roddick.

Listen to the song "Hush" from Tamara Beatty after the jump!

I wonder if Ronald McDonald will ever make a comeback?

Just a fairly quick drawing from my sketchbook, playing with ink. I did a quick rough of the girl with a colerase pencil, then used a calligraphy nib for the line work. I added values using an ink wash, as well as adding a bit of texture. I filled in the background with some markers.
