Another Posebook Drawing

So here's day 2 of using Steve Silver's Posebook App. Definitely nice thing to work on for lunch breaks.

Pose Book Drawings...the start of many!

So I finally got around to downloading and trying out Steve Silver's Pose Book App and LOVE it. I am very much looking forward to doing sketch studies from this app on lunch breaks as frequently as possible. I hope that in time, there are more additions made to the app for more variety. But since I'm just starting out with it, I have a fair amount of reference images to go through. Below is the first one.

More Foods!

Hey all!

Here's another post on some of the foods I've been finding along my travels at random stops. I sortof forgot my camera in my car when I had a cheeseburger at this random diner/pub while in Buffalo. But As I was passing through Cleveland, I stopped off at an Asian Wok. There, I ordered some Curry Chicken and some Pot Stickers. Both very delicious. What I should have taken a photo of was the Pu Pu Platter that an older couple was eating when I first walked in. It had a huge firey thing in the centre with an assortment of appetizers all around for display.

Diner Dives and other Meals

Hey all!

As some of you know, I'm on a trip currently to San Francisco, California from Sudbury, Ontario for a new job that I will be starting once I get there. Along the way I am creating a video blog series on my YouTube Channel at .

Also, a friend gave me the idea to take photos of some of the various meals from dinner dives and other places along my travels. Here are the first two!

A Triple Steak Enchilada meal with jalapeños added at the Lonestar Cafe in downtown Toronto. This was vary tastey!


More to come so enjoy!

Nyctophobia...

Just figured I'd post a little bit of what I've been working on lately. Here's a panel of an upcoming comic that I am working on titled Nyctophobia.

So earlier today I had batting practice with a few people from the softball team. As I took the bus down, I sortof miscalculated on when I would get there (holiday hours are a pain)and I arrived an hour earlier then I expected. So I wandered around the field and area trying to find any extra balls to hit since I didn't have any on hand. Enjoy!

So that's the end of my photo series for now. I'll post more as I take them and feel like they are worth posting.

Some Photos...(Part 2 of 3)

Some friends from Toronto and area came up to Sudbury for the Civic long weekend this past summer. Here are some photos of us hanging out either outside Peddler's Pub on an empty downtown day (typical sunday), over at the Big Nickel, or at Huy's old place for his BBQ.

Some Photos...(Part 1 of 3)

I decided I should post some of these photos I took the past long while. Most are taken between August 1st and today. The photos in Part 1, however, are a bit older then that. All were taken from my iPhone though. Hope you enjoy!

As I stepped off of the bus on my way home from either work or a softball game.


Heading home from either the grocery store or a friend's place.


A shot from the last time I was in Toronto visiting some friends and my brother. As I was wasting time downtown, I thought the fog rolling through the CN Tower looked neat.

Playing with Digital Paint

I started watching some new digital painting tutorials that helped bring to light some different techniques to go about an artwork. Thank you Ctrl Paint! Below is an image I just completed using some of the methods I learned from this artist as I play around with a colour scheme for Renmaru of my Runic story.
