Movember. Decisions, decisions…

Maybe you can help me. I have decided to join Movember this year. For those of you who don’t know, Movember is a charity that asks men to grow a mustache, and then use that burgeoning power to collect donations for prostate cancer research. My own Movember page can be found here, but wait. My issue is that I can’t decide what kind of mustache to grow. This is where you come in. I’ve put together 4 illustrations of potential stache styles. Take a look at each one, and then comment on which you like best. I will compile these results, and which ever one is most popular will be the one I go with. OK? Here we go.

I call this one rural sophistication. This one will take the most amount of daily care, and likely the most amount of stares at the grocery store. The illustration is an unaltered watercolor.

This one is the biker. Of course, I’ll be riding a little 77 Honda rather than a great big Harley, BUT- my insurance is way cheaper. The illustration is a ball point pen drawing with digital coloring.

This one is just cheese. Hence the yellow background. Cheeeeesy. The illustration is a pencil sketch with digital coloring.

This one is the Depp. I call it the Depp, because I stole Johnny Depp’s hair in order to make it. I’m sure he won’t mind, he looks good with a hat on anyways. The illustration is comprised of digitally altered photographs.

Well there you have it. Leave a comment below on which you like best, and check back Nov 1 to see which one was most popular. Also, please consider donating to the Movember cause, men everywhere will thank you.

Frankford Map

I made this map for Frankford Ontario, based on a similar style to the Quinte West map from the last post. It is designed as a large outdoor map, and once I have time to venture up there, I might even get an actual photo of the installation to post here!

Marysburgh Mummers

The Marysburgh Mummers are back this spring with Fiddler on the roof. Here is the poster I made for the production.

Come see the show April 16-18 , 23-25 at Mt. Tabor Playhouse in Milford.

Robin Wall

Here is a card and calendar design I did for painter Robin Wall.

Exploration Playgrounds Designs

Exploration Playgrounds contacted me to design a few things for them, including their logo and cards, illustrations and a brochure.

Above is the front and back of the cards, including their new logo.

Below is the outside front and back, and the inside of the brochure showing a few of their products.

Here is a quick illustration to show the concept of a ‘dinosaur sand box dig site”

They also needed a 3′ X 4′ plaque designed to go with the dig site.

The Sacred Circle

The Sacred Circle is a new business in Deseronto, for which I created a logo, cards, labels and signage.

The 20′ long sign below sits high above the store front.

Below is the label I designed for their paper bags.

Galloping Goat Gallery

It’s no secret that I am part owner of the Galloping Goat Gallery with my wife Lesley. These are just a few of the ads and promotional material that I have created for our shop.

These are ads for the Sojourner and Breakaway magazine:

Here’s our new road sign:

And here’s a little animated GIF for the pec.on.ca website:
