much music video award nomination

The Arkells music video, Michigan Left, which I created all the animation for was just nominated for a Much Music Video Award!

It is under the category "MuchLoud Rock Video Of The Year", the director is my talented friend John Poliquin. You may remember the other video I worked on with him, Mother Mother's "The Stand" was nominated for Juno earlier in the year.

You can check out the other MMVA nominations here.

I created this Jack White illustration for BeatRoute Alberta and B.C. to accompany the lead album review of May, Jack White's Blunderbuss. Above is the final illo and the preliminary drawing which was approved respectively.

I thought Blunderbuss was pretty good, but find out what Sebastian Buzzalino has to say about the record in the review here.

Listen to the lead single off Blunderbuss below, and check out the accompanying visuals, which is really gnarly and definitely worth the watch:
