End of Year
End of the term here in my MFA and I have one more year to go. This next year is going to be very busy and I have a lot to finish and hopefully I will be able to exhibit some more work around Canada. Here are some things that I have just finished painting and some new works to come. I have also added an Artist Statement in the About section.

Drawings
Just a taste of the drawings I have been working on this term. It is a mix of drawing in my sketchbook, adobe Photoshop and zbrush.

Much needed updates
So, I decided to dump a lot of updates on the site. The past few months have been very busy. I just finished up working on a zombie movie here in Regina (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/27091/) and have been getting back on track in the studio. These are three sculptures that I am currently finishing up. I have decided to just finish the sculptures, make a mould and then paint them all at the end of this term. I have been moving furiously along this term on these sculptures and drawings.

Progressing
I have decided to stay in the habit of constantly updating this site with the progress I am making in the studio. Not only for friends and family to see, but for my own benefit. Making some of these sculptures can be a real blur from beginning to end and seem a little chaotic. So, documenting everything will give me a sense of order and some perspective of my studio practice.
In these photos I have started sanding the two blobbed forms and have fixed them into the wall. I have finished sculpting the figure to a stage where I am happy with. The figure has changed quite a bit from the first time I took a photo of it. I seemed to of kept taking off more and more clay each time I sat down to clean it up. My goal was to create something a little more dynamic when the light hit it by accentuating the facial structure. It is almost baby faced in the previous posts. In the last photos I have made a wall around the sculpture so I can start mould making. The pink stuff you see is silicone.
People are probably looking at this and thinking, “what the hell is going on here?” I will try to explain the work more in the next posts. I’m doing my MFA, I have to talk about my work sometime!
