My Burly Protector

The idea behind this piece is the feeling of warmth and security of someone who you hold to and believe will love and protect you. Whether it be a mother, father, friend, or teddy bear, we all have the someone and something that allows us to feel safe and comfortable. The hairiness of the figure symbolizes the association we have to things such as blankets, fur, a mother's hair, etc. We hold dear to these people and symbols, and hope that no matter what, we can rely on them time after time.

Pretty Boys Fuck Like Rabbits (PBFLR)

Here is a personal piece that is part of the 'Human Condition art show'. Simply put, I wanted to illustrate the powers of sexual attraction that youth holds. Cloaked in fur like a king, this young man bares a golden rabbit in his arms, which represents the desires of everyone who views him (fertility and riches).

The Human Condition (art Show)

I would like to announce that I and my dear friend Melodie Papp are having an art show at the Jerome Jenner Gallery (Dundas and keele, Toronto), on November 21st, called The Human Condition. It should be a pretty good party. If you don't come for the art, come for the drinks! Its going to be quite the event. One you won't want to miss. You can visit the Jerome Jenner/Smash Gallery website at www.jeromejenner.com . See you all there!

I ate the Fruit of Life, now I am God

This is one of the first images I produced this year. Starting off in a great direction, I think I may have finally found my style. This piece illustrated the temptations and will of human nature, searching for one's self and and the pursue of god. The philosophy behind this piece describes the emotional state of the feelings one may have once he or she has found god, or even has become god themselves. Perhaps darkness takes control, and we may in fact feel emptiness after the pursuit to becoming whole.
