Work/Life!
If you're in the Calgary area, come by the Work/Life opening at UPPERCASE Gallery this Thursday (June 6th) evening! Marc and I are both in the book, along with a whole crowd of sweet Canadian illustrators and photographers! If you can't make it to the opening make sure to pick up a book, if you order now you can save 30%.
Check out a preview of the book:

Pheww! On a more cheery note, the Compadres/Oscar Lopez illustrations were nominated in the 'Illustration or Illustration Feature' category of the Western Magazine Awards! I'm in good company - other nominees include my fellow classmate Byron Eggenschweiler, and schoolmate Joy Ang!
FFWD - Arts Emergency
I recently got to illustrate a great FFWD feature on the state of the arts & artists in Calgary - which is that it's actually in a state of emergency! Eeep! I highly recommend you take a read.
