I worked closely with Tony Dagnone, the former CEO of London Health Sciences Centre, on his presentation for the 2016 CHES Conference. Tony wanted to see some creative "whiteboard" illustrations to bring some visual interest to his narrative. For these animations, I used a combination of stock drawings and my own illustrations. Most of the [...]
I've always had an interest in astro-photography, having previously taken star trail photos and of course, the moon. One subject I hadn't yet tackled yet was the milky way, or at least the slim, tiny portion that's visible from Earth. The most important thing you need for successful astro-photography is a clear, dark sky. Knowing [...]
I designed a few promotional event flyers for music shows in Toronto. Deadlines were very tight, and I provided files suitable for both printing and sharing on social media, including banners for the Facebook events.
For the first time in over two years, my wife and I headed up to Algonquin Provincial Park for camping. Now when I say camping, I mean, with the car about ten feet away, a large cooler, a tent made for six people that I can actually stand up in, an air mattress, and all my [...]

I did a quick business card design for a music production client of mine who needed them for an upcoming show. I traced his hand drawn logo in Adobe Illustrator, and used existing artwork provided by the client.
For the London Health Sciences Centre's important renovations to the Emergency Departments at their two main campus hospitals, I suggested doing a special "before & after" slideshow, where images of the spaces before the renovations are transformed into the new spaces by laying in elements such as floors, walls, and ceilings. I worked closely with [...]
The Facilities Management department at London Health Sciences Centre needed to improve its public profile at the hospital, and one strategy was to produce a Year in Review report to deliver key messages and showcase good work. I wrote the content, took many of the photos, and designed the document for the 16-page report. Content [...]
