Mascot challenge!

Here's a shot of me and some Toronto student at work!

The PanAm ParaPanAm Games types are looking for kids to design the 2015 mascot, and I'm one of a number of illustrators they've asked to help students come up with ideas.

Here's a video of a workshop I was a few days ago!

Proof!

That I've been  Buffalo Sabres fan all my life AND that the Sabres always have a bevy of great goaltenders!

A more animated Neil

I've been thinking of ways to animate the Neil Flambe stories, and did some cartoon mock-ups of Neil, Larry and Isabella. These are just character studies, but I'll keep working away.

NEIL

ISABELLA 

LARRY

ah, summer....

It's cold out, and much as I love winter (especially when my rink stays frozen) I do miss a warm breeze in my hair as I ride my bike.

So here's a summery sketch of a cyclist... whose thighs may or may not be chemically enhanced.

And my thighs are much smaller... only my butt is big.

Stephen vs. Stephen

Of course every good Pope needs an Anti-Pope. How about Pope Stephen IX (Colbert) vs. Pope Stephen I (Fry)? Who would win?

Here's the original Colbert pic, for reference.

CASH!

Michael Hlinka and I are doing a presentation today -  for teachers - on our book Follow Your Money.

I want it to be fun... so I made my own cash to bring along!

And if it goes well, I'll be bringing some cash to a school or bookstore near you!

(Actually, just ask! Details on school visits on the top of this blog.)

MONEY in the mail!

My new book from Annick Press has arrived! (Co-written with the great Michael Hlinka from CBC and UofT).

Want to know who gets what when you spend your hard-earned cash (or your parent's hard-earned cash)?

Check it out!
