"Doorway, Greece"

Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist
$350.00 each

I've always loved doorways.  You never know what's on the other side of them until you step through them.  This particular doorway is in Greece in an old building in Athens.  It has such energy about it that I felt that I had to do it justice with a digital concept.

The funny thing: I never did step though the doorway.

Title: "Queen"
24" X 29"
Mounted on wood
Abstract Art, Digital Art, Portrait Art
Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist.
$400 each

 

Having grown up in Canada, the monarchy has always been a part of my life.  But I've always been troubled with the history of it, and of the British Empire in general.  Here is a woman who we revere greatly -and in many cases rightfully so-, but who is head of a family and legacy that has lead to the slaughter of millions to grow their dynasty and power throughout history.

When doing this portrait, I couldn't escape from that history, with all of it's beauty and violence.  Yes, there was much nobility and wonder there, no doubt.  But it's convenient how we've swept the rest under the rug.

So ask yourself when you look at "Queen": is that blood on her face?  Or is it just the red of the Union Jack?  After all, those are the only colours I used for this piece: the colours of the UK flag.

"Oswald" 20" X 35" JFK assassin. Limited edition. ONLY 5 PRODUCED. $450.

Title: "Oswald"
20" X 35"
Mounted on Wood
Abstract Art, Digital Art, Mug Shot
Limited Edition of 5.  Signed by the Artist.
$450 each

You are correct in first asking, when you see this painting, "Why in the world would you paint a portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot John F. Kennedy?"


The reason is a little complex, so bare with me.  It all started when I finished watching (and then re-watched) the amazing documentary Oswald's Ghost.  In it, they delve into what could have motivated Oswald to commit such a crime.  The best analysis was given my Norman Mailer (which I won't ruin for you, you simply MUST watch it for yourself). But in doing so, he tells us that Oswald haunts American history like a ghost.  And hence this piece I produced.

In it, I try and project Oswald as a faded menace, but one that still lurks in the recesses of the North American psyche. 


This is a piece of art in the truest sense for me.  This isn't something you hang on your wall because it matches your couch. You hang it and ask yourself "Why?" and "How?" and "What if?".

Because of the sensitive nature of the subject matter, there are only 5 original prints available.  Full sized and signed by me.

"Odin Contemplates" 24" X 33" Nordic God. LIMITED EDITION. Only 10 Available. $350

Abstract Art, Digital Art, Comic Art
Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist.
$350 each

 

Artists will tell you that they often get these strange urges to create something primal.  With me, I had this burning desire to create something with a mythic feel to it.  As I worked, I suddenly realized that what I was coming up with was Odin: the one eyed Nordic god.  Odin is an old god, and I wanted to show him as aged.  I also wanted to have him pondering something.  Perhaps he's about to punish a mortal.  Perhaps he's worried about his son Thor.

"Odin Contemplates"  is a mostly black and white piece, with some subtle skin tones blended in to break up the contrast and add depth to it.

Hang it up on your wall and then tell me what you think he's contemplating.

"Obama in Berlin, 2008" 20" X 30". LIMITED EDITION. ONLY 5 AVAILABLE. $450

 

Title: "Obama in Berlin, 2008"
20" X 30"
Abstract Art, Digital Art
Limited Edition of 5.  Signed by the Artist.
$450 each.

Probably one of the most amazing sites I've ever seen in my life was then Senator Barak Obama, giving a speech in Berlin in 2008 in front of over 200,000 people.  To think that 60 years ago, he would have been arrested just for being black there.  But in 2008, he was the focus of that country during that day.

"Obama in Berlin, 2008" is an expression of that reality as the black senator stands in front of a sea of white faces, striking his iconic pose of that day.

It was such an incredible sight to witness that even 2 years later I was still compelled to do this piece.  The piece means so much to me that I am limiting the prints for sale to only 5.  And I have every hope that I will be able to give one of those 5 to now President Obama.

"Minimal George" Geroge Washington. 21" X 27" LIMITED EDITION. ONLY 10. $350

 

Title: "Minimal George"
21" X 27"
Abstract Art, Digital Art
Mounted and laminated on wood.
Signed by artist.  Limited Edition of 10.
$350 each

Everyone's favourite founding father, George Washington, was larger than life.  Almost literally.  The man was as tall as a tree, and revered in his time.  "Minimal George" was an exercise in seeing how much of his image I could strip away, while still being able to recognize him.  How many people in history can say that with only a few lines they are recognizable to so many.

This piece, while historical in nature, still has a bit of an abstract and pop-art feel to it so that you don't need to be a historian to appreciate it.

"M. Shadows" Avenged Sevenfold 24" X 30" LIMITED EDITION PRINT. Only 10 Available. $350

 

"M. Shadows"
Avenge Sevenfold.
24" X 30"
Mounted and laminated on wood.
Signed by artist.  Limited Edition of 10.
$350 each

If you don't know who M. Shadows is, odds are likely you don't know anyone under 25.  M. Shadows is the front man for a hugely popular band called Avenged Sevenfold.  He's larger than life, and gives the most incredible performances you'll ever see.  He's electric, full of energy, and the consummate rock star.

"M. Shadows" is a portrait of him, mid concert, screaming out his lyrics.  It's filled with neon colours, that are placed against a stark black background.  It's a domineering piece, but I believe it can find a spot in many homes or work places.

Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist.

SOLD OUT!

I love my friend Brittani.  She's got such a great personality and she's just crazy beautiful.  This piece, I believe, captures both of those amazing traits of hers.  "Brittani" is just a fun, pop art inspired, bright, colourful work of art that is both innocent and sexy at the same time.

Her playful nature really comes out in the upside down aspect of the piece, and as a result the closer you stand to it the more abstract the piece becomes.  It's a very fun piece, that needs a fun space for it to be a part of.

"Freedom's Number" 20" X 24" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. VERY RARE. Limited edition of only 5. $450

"Freedom's Number"
20" X 24"
Mounted on wood.
Limited Edition of 5.  Signed by the Artist.
$450.00 each

This is one of my most personal pieces. I've wanted to do a portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, ever since I read his autobiography. Of all the photos of him that I saw, the one I connected with the most was his mug shot, which I decided to base this artwork on.  Why?  Because he was willing to go to jail, and the system was willing to jail him, for standing up for basic human rights.  That's worthy of art.

"Freedom's Number" is about his arrest, and the number they assigned him when they did so.  Because this is such a personal  piece, and because I don't want anyone thinking I'm exploiting the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, I'm only producing a limited edition of 5 prints of this piece.

OK.  Full disclosure.  I love fighting fish.  Not just because they are stunning, but because one is the mascot of the marketing firm I am president of: a5MEDIA inc.   "Fish" is how I see this amazing little creature: bigger than life, bold, wild, unhinged.  They are really abstract artwork come to life.  If red is your favorite colour, then "Fish" should be hanging on your wall.

"Dissent". Abstract Art. Standing up for what you believe in. LIMITED EDITION. ONLY 10. $400

"Dissent"

20" X 30"

Mounted on wood.

Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist.

$400.00 each

Inspired by the wave of election fever on both sides of the border (mid-terms in the USA/America and a mayoral election here in Toronto, Ontario), "Dissent" is about the person who stands up for the unpopular opinion.

In a crowd of people, a lone man rises to applaud an idea that clearly isn't going over well with the crowd.  Is he cheering a tax increase that needs to be implemented?  A new ID card that some think is going to far?  I'm not sure, but I know that I admire someone who is willing to be seen as an independent thinker.

"How Bees See Flowers" Abstract art of daisy. Limited Edition. ONLY 10 AVAILABLE. $300

"How Bees See Flowers"
22" X 28"
Mounted on wood.
Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist.
$300.00 each

Bees don't see the world like us.  They see things in bright UV colours.  Which is amazing, because flowers -it seems- are beautiful no matter how you see them.  "How Bees See Flowers" is an expression in just that: the eternal beauty of flowers no matter whose eyes you are seeing them through.

This is a bold piece that demands a confident collector to have it on his or her wall.  The colours are bright, the piece is striking, and it will become the focus of any room it's in.

Cafe's in Greece are a sight unto themselves.  They are always busy, and the cast of characters there are just unbelievable.  "Cafe in Greece" is a study in details.  The longer you stare at it the more you will see, even with the bright colours that show off the energy of the scene.  (Bonus points if you can spot the dog!)

"Brittani and Joey."

25" X 30"

Mounted on wood.

Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the artist

$400.00 each

This is the piece that I hope becomes the most prized of all of my work, because it was the very first digital painting and digital art I ever did. (Art historians take note!)  "Brittani and Joey" was a labour of love for my friend on her birthday.  I wanted to capture the love she has with her boyfriend, and the electric energy they give off when they are together.

Don't knock it as corny.  They are crazy for each other and it's beautiful, and I'd like to think that I captured that love in a way that anyone who stares at this piece will feel as well.

This is a big, colourful piece, that will guarantee to be show stopper in your collection.  People will stop and stare and go "WOW!".

 "Bench."

Mounted on wood.
Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the artist
$350.00 each

Can I let you in on a little secret?  I really love this piece.  "Bench" was an experiment in taking an everyday object and making it beautiful.  And the combination of greens and earth tones really created something special.  The flat green background only adds to the bench's beauty.

I really love this piece because it can look great anywhere.  Hang it up on your living room wall, your child's play room, or even your executive meeting room, and it will look amazing.  It's one of those pieces that everyone who stares at it will see something different.  Me, every time I look at it, I'm reminded of the bench in the playground when I was a child.

There are only 10, original, full size, hand signed prints that will ever be made by me.  Each will come with a certificate of authenticity, signed by me.

This is one of those pieces that I believe will become one of my most popular.

What is it about Mediterranean architecture that makes it so beautiful?  I don't know exactly what it is, but I think it's been captured in "Balconies, Greece".  The clean lines and smooth surfaces make this piece timeless, and the blue and white colour scheme is pure Greece.

I'm not sure who lives on the other side of those balconies, but I am supremely envious of them.

"Ashore."

18" X 26"
Mounted on wood.
Limited Edition of 10.  Signed by the Artist.
$250.00 each

One of those pieces that you just want to stare at for hours, "Ashore" is not just about a boat on water.  But about an EMPTY boat that has come ashore.  Has the passenger departed, or is he on his way?  I'd like to think that someone's adventure is about to begin somewhere off frame.

"Ashore" is filled with muted, Impressionist inspired colours.  It is both abstract and realist,  uplifting and haunting.  It's one of my favourite pieces.

There are only 10, original, full size, hand signed prints that will ever be made by me.  Each will come with a certificate of authenticity, signed by me.

To those who purchase this, I'd love to know what you think happened (or will happen) to the passenger of this empty vessel.

Celebrating the struggle and triumph of gays in the US military, "American Pride" is about the victory of gays being able to serve openly.

This piece is not only for those who have fought and served in American armies while being part of the LGBT communities.  It's about all of us being able to celebrate who and what we are.

This is a big piece, because in my mind, this is a big issue and a big deal.

This is also another rare piece.  Only 10 of the original, full size, hand signed pieces will ever be made and each will come with a certificate of authenticity.
