Morning Bike Ride

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a great night last night. Alison and I had a some close friends over for a little seafood chow down including lobster tails, scallops, prawns and shrimps plus some bubbly. Elvis's King Creole (and others of his sixties records) was the soundtrack.
Thanks for visiting Hypnotik Eye and lets see what the upcoming Year of the Dragon holds... more drawing and seafood I'm sure.

Random shots from Gravenhurst and my mom's birthday party.

Couple of pics while I was waiting for my flat to get fixed.

Life drawing in Montreal.





At the studio of the awesome Regis Loisel ( with my buddy Pat)

Visited friends but my main motivation for this trip was seeing the amazing Otto Dix retrospective Rouge Cabaret at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The biggest of its kind ever in North America and terrifying and beautiful work indeed!




Before leaving I got to meet Elizabeth Miller (and get a facsimile edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula notes and her Bram Stoker's Dracula books signed) author of several amazing Dracula related books.

X were fantastic last night!

Some pics from up at Gravenhurst. Apart from relaxing with with friends I began sketching out a new picture book that I'm very excited about.
