Every year, our studio sends an end of season gift to our clients in Boston. This year I was asked to make plushies of our Fetch characters: Ruff Ruffman, Blossom and Chet. They finally received them in the mail today so I can now post them to show you!

*edit*
Some more pictures :)

This summer I have been involved with The Illustrated Journey Youth Project, where I help newly immigrated and/or refugee kids draw and make a comic of their journey to Canada. After three months, the kids have now completed their comics and we are publishing them into a book and presenting their artwork in an exhibition. If you are in the area, please feel free to visit us at the youth exhibition! ;)


If you'd like to come for a preview of the comic and meet the kids from past and present projects, we will have a booth at Vancouver's Comicon this Sunday, Sept 13th from 11-5pm.

Here is another invite and more information, about the project if you'd like to forward it to your friends. Designed and illustrated by me :)

Hey Kids! Fetch with Ruff Ruffman Season Four is premiering with an animated special on September 11th on PBS Go! I didn't animate on this episode, but my colleagues sure did! (My stuff will be in the episodes following) Go Fetch! ;)

Art School Reviews is featuring an article I wrote for them about my experience in the Commercial Animation program at Capilano University. Check it out!

A kind thank you to Mike who runs the site for asking me to contribute and being patient and keeping me accountable to finish the review. It's a great website and I wish I had something like this to help me when I was researching local art schools.

Just to warn you - the review is quite long because I felt Capilano was under-represented and thus there were a lot of details to cover!

Did you attend an art school in Vancouver? Write about it at Art School Reviews :)

New animation reel! Enjoy!

Thanks those who have helped me achieve a career in animation and help me continue to grow. It is a close-knit industry that I feel happy to belong to and I hope I can give back ten fold.
