A few more..
June 16, 2009
Some new pieces brought to by the wonderful people at the Globe & Mail, in collaboration with my pen, some electricity, a wacom & a touch of time. So, that's cheesy. Well, I'm not going to go back now to think of something better.. we should look forward, towards new beginnings, new drawings, & new postings. Up, up & away!
Zoom, Zoom!

That's the sound of an e-promo heading out to the vast electronic wastelands, Mad Max style! Trying to save paper these last few rounds, although it seems like the venerable postcard might still be sent out.... If you didn't receive one, and would like to, please drop me a line. Otherwise, have a wander around, take in the sites, and gimme a shout to see what kind of collaboration we can come up with.. Happy early June, viva summer!
Architecture, Updates & the Motherland
May 27, 2009
A few updates from Runner's World & the Globe & Mail just put up, which I thoroughly enjoyed. After a seemingly brief visit back to my Canadian Motherland (still cold-ish) I'm back in Amsterpants. Bravo to Frank Gehry (& Toronto sort of) for the new AGO - stunning, beautiful & world class. Too bad one of the best architects in the world (& home grown for that matter) wasn't allowed to run wild, but he's pulled it off like a Pro. Sadly though, it brings light to that monstrosity of a block known as OCAD - good luck with that. Okay, enough architectural bitterness, drawings anyone? Happy Almost June to you. Tootles.
American Illustration, Updates, More Spring!
April 21, 2009
Yippee and happy days! I few short days ago, I learned a sexy-sexy illo I did for Diva Magazine (see Eclectic section) was selected (judged, if you will) to appear in the next iteration of American Illustration 28! Sweet. Updates uploaded as well (as you can see), and finally a big squinty gaze into the springtime sun. Well played Holland, well played. Now, to take care of this continual global economic meltdown. Let's say we all retire to a nice island and make a new civilization… free of greed, hatred and bankers. But drawings will still cost you. Huzzah!
What's in the Air!?
March 27, 2009
Spring I think! Updates too, with more to come. Sunshine, flowers, birds, excitement and doodles to everyone. A bunch of illos on the go as well as a bundle of design work. Keep busy and hang tight, 'cause this monetary insanity ain't over yet. But so what? If the fire us all we'll just move somewhere warm and grow mangoes and wonder why we spent so much time at the office. See you at the beach!
Boing-Boing-Boing — Spring?!
March 11, 2009
Over here in windy and grey Amsterdam spring is starting to peek around corners… which of course has made me nostalgic to send out a promo! There's an email-promo (or paperless, for all us tree-huggers) making the rounds. Like it? Hate it? Could care less? Then send over some words and we'll see what comes or goes. Besides, with all this economic doom and gloom, wouldn't some drawings make us all feel better? Or at least give us something to look at whilst we spiral into the upcoming vortex of a Pinko Future. Enjoy the ride, it could get bumpy.
31 & Counting, Award!

OH Noes… I've gotten older. Santa help me navigate this ever more strange world with a free-flowing pen. Good start though… A piece I did for Ascent Magazine awhile back just won in Applied Arts', so happy days! Finally I can just put my feet up and call it a day. No wait, I should see what else happens first.
Time, she flies!

Holy Smurf, it's already nearing month 3 in this year of 2009 and things are rolling along as ever. Snow, rain, cold, drawings, mumblings and whole world gripped in a deep fear of money and the strange handlers we call 'Financial Experts' . Ho ho, what great news! We're all experts at whatever we can screw right into the ground. Today, I shall be an expert of both Cosmology and Cakes, theorizing we'll be destroyed in 3 Tuesdays by an out of control Space-Flan. Mark my sugary words, we're not out of the woodwork yet. Hope you like bacon, 'cause the fat's in the fire! Ready, set…… DRAW!
Go! Go! Go!
January 22, 2009
Helloes and whoop-de-do to all. Trundling into this new year it's busy and bustling. Happy to announce there's a bunch of updates with some work I much enjoyed for Money Sense Magazine, Institutional Investor, and the Globe & Mail. // Also just did a quick stint in Paris and wore my feet (and peepers) out at the Louvre and various other embarrassingly beautiful repositories of illuminating craftwork. Anyhoop, have a gander about and keep on truckin'.
Happy New Year!

Ho HO, 2009 and it's already bustling along. Kiss it '08, and thanks to all for a great year! Hopefully, on this year-long cusp of the fist decade of the 21st century, everyone's swell and rosy-cheeked. The pens are fully loaded and ready to go! Drop me a line and lets shoot some poop, or better yet, draw some! Awesome possum, Transform and Rollout!
