Cg Unit Feature 2

Thanks again Ben for the feature! Much appreciated!
Check out CG UNIT for more information on contemporary artists.

What's been going on?
I've recently graduated from Sheridan college with a BAA in illustration and I'm ready to pump out new works! Currently I'm working for a social network as a graphic designer in creating web designs, motion graphics, as well as designs for the company. On top of things, I've also been freelancing. It's been a really great start for my career and I know with hard work and dedication it'll only get better.

Also, I'll be releasing a new version of my website within the next month. Check back soon to see the new site!

Lets fight the good fight!

drop by if you are in town!!

Subtext is proud to present a group exhibition of emerging artists, guest curated by Beau Basse. The work is slowly coming in, and it’s shaping up to be a really great showcase of talent. The Kids Are Alright is a five city showcase tour of 25 young artists that have either recently graduated or are still attending art school. The series was designed to give these artists an opportunity to develop their talents while receiving direction and feedback from several different galleries throughout the country. The Tour is curated by Beau Basse, owner of LeBasse Projects in Los Angeles. His goal in producing the Tour is to create a platform for young artists to gain experience working with galleries in order to properly prepare them for future success as professional artists. Mark your calendars for this epic showing of fresh talent.

Also, there will be live music in the courtyard at 9pm. Thanks to our friends at Sezio, Subtext is proud to feature Better Class of Flying Man. It’s gonna be a nice Spring night, so don’t miss out.

Diseased

Do you know what's in your meat?

It's not known to a lot of people but even diseased animals will be thrown into slaughter for consumption. Last year there was America's biggest beef (at one factory farm) recall due to sick animals being sold but who knows how many other companies are doing this as well.

We consume 15 billion animals a year (statistics as of 2007, our consumption has probably raised since). If there were no factory farms and mass production all animals would not exist because of us. We do not need to eat meat everyday.

I wouldn't say I'm an activist of any sort but I am aware of what I put into my body and I'm aware of my actions that affect the world and yes.... 1 person can make a difference.

A quick 1.5 hour digital sketch. I've been doing constant work for the past few weeks and I feel as though my life is being sucked out of me. For once I just sat down and drew for myself and it definitely felt nice.
