Gouache Study

A gouache study of Gatineau hills from the sledding hill.  The sketch is smaller than a business card.

Before Moby became a Dick

Here is the piece I had submitted for the art show 'Night out at the Movies'. It was a great turn out and most of the pieces sold that night. The show runs in conjunction with the Animation Festival here in town. Pop by to see them displayed for another week.

I had the idea of showing Moby Dick, in a more serious manner. See pen sketch below.


Then I thought about what it might be like with Ahab and Moby before the 'incident'. So I had them sharing a beer together.


In the end I thought it might be wiser to just have them play a game of shuttle cock together. I mean they are sea fairing lads after all. So the sketch below was in the end the final result.

Gatineau River

This is a gouache painting of the Gatineau River; the colours in this area, as usual are quite spectacular.

Yukon Stories

These backgrounds were done for a series based on stories of the Yukon. This particular set was from the story, 'Sam McGee'

End Credits

A long time ago my brother and I came up with an idea for a short, but as these things go, it became somewhat ambitious and died after a period of time. But we had a lot of fun drawing and coming up with scenarios. This is an acrylic and gouache painting on water colour paper.

It was to be the end page and the credits would roll over it. For fun I added 'The End'.
