Dreaming I Was A Crow Dreaming
Approximately 55 in x 15 ft. Charcoal and carbon pencil on paper.
After 20 years of working in intensely saturated colour, it was a real joy to "deconstruct" my process in
to work only in grey scale.
My son had recently traded in a pet python (who had bit me!) for a couple of geckos. What a blast, drawing gnarly crow feet and goofy little lizards.

Storm's A' Comin'
Approximately 55 in x 15 ft. Charcoal and carbon pencil on paper.
Much of my imagery has a political basis. In this case, the trampling of Canadian civil rights that occurred during the G20 summit held in Toronto. Where anonymous riot police notoriously would "kettle" crowds. In this image, the crow plays the consumate trickster - both offenders and victims.

The Last Great Beast Goes Down
Approximately 55 in x 15 feet. Charcoal and carbon pencil on paper.
Another not so subtle political image. Our former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, presides over the demise of the great beast of democracy. Crows play the trickster again. Check out all the human heads - they all have crow feet.

The Fable of the Dead Crow
Approximately 55 in x 15 ft. Charcoal, carbon pencil on paper.
You can tell me what you think that the "fable" is all about. It would seem that open ended story telling permeates all my work.
For me, I really enjoyed drawing all the little creatures running around in the grass and the tunnels underneath.

Scorcher in the Summer
Approximately 55 in x 15 feet. Charcoal, carbon pencil on paper.
Not much political here. Just wishful thinking. Outside of my studio is a small koi pond. In the summer when my studio gets really hot, I like to project myself into the cool bottom of the pond. Check out the fish. They all have human legs and feet. Can you find the farting frog? In this image, the crows are pushed way to the back - flying and cawing in the distance.
I remember that the challenge I had set for myself with this image was to depict both the surface of water and under the pond simlulaneously.
Maybe not surprising this image has been extremely popular and shown in a varietyof locations.
