Live Painting Stream from the Studio

I'm going to be trying to work out the kinks with the online broadcast stuff through ustream.com so that whenever I am in the studio painting I will be broadcasting. That way you can see what I am up to in the studio...should be kind of cool. Eventually once all the kinks are worked out I will be doing some video blogs as well that will be teaching more technique specific things...

New snowboard graphic for Prior

I had mentioned a little while ago about a new graphic I had done for Prior Snowboards for both their skiis and boards.  I was approached by Dean from Prior to do a piece that incorporated an Innukshuk.  At first I was a little hesitant to do a piece with that because of the overuse of that imagery during the Olympics last year, bet then inspiration struck.  After working on the T-shirt designs for MEC (the images are a secret until the line is released in May) and I began to think beyond the typical landscapes that I do.  I decided to create a self contained image that is way more graphical than what I normally do.  It was really fun to play with these new ideas and I cam up with something that I think is pretty cool.  The graphic isn't available until next year, but here is a sneak peak of the image I did for their top sheets.

Ever want to make love to a painting?

Quick question for you... how many of you would be interested in seeing my art on t-shirts or stickers?  I have been contemplating doing this for sometime, but haven't taken the leap yet because of an uncertain outcome.
