Your Imagination is the Combination
My wife bought me some wood panel canvases that have been sitting in my studio all week. Last night, this image popped into my head and I could not shake it loose. So today, I pealed myself off of my computer and decided to make it a thing.

I’m a busy fella. So when a close friend of mine called and asked me to do some illustration work for a concert, I politely passed. That is until he mentioned that the concert in question was: OMAR.
It’s been 10 years since his last performance in Canada. And as of one of my all-time favourite artists, I could not pass up the opportunity to reconnect.
8 years ago, I sent him some artwork from Canada to the UK. He responded with a signed CD that read:
From one artist to another – Omar.
It has been perched on my magazine shelf in my office ever since. A reminder that whatever I do to make ends meet, at my core, I am still and Artist. Read More:

This is the last painting I ever produced.
The original is 6 feet by 4 feet and proudly hangs on the wall in my home.
When my wife and I were first married, we shared a small apartment.
While we waited for our first home to be built, I painted this.
It took 3 months. She posed. I painted.
This painting is very special to us both.
It crystalizes the optimism and love in our lives at the time.
This piece was done in acrylic and ink on canvas.
I also used pencil crayons to sketch in line art and shapes over top of the paint.
The original has a reflective gloss.
Painted in the year 2003.
I captured this moment to share with you in the form of a print.
Select from 3 sizes.
Each fit an IKEA Ribba frame perfectly.

I don’t like to throw the word “love” around. But I LOVE this artist’s work.
LimKis has a unique style that feels more like painting than vector illustration. Her technique pushes the boundaries of Adobe Illustrator by using brushes and transparencies in ways that emulate water color and acrylic works.
We were introduced to her work earlier this year and found a great deal of depth in her illustrations. At 22, she has shown a real sense of mastery with the software.
Here are a few words from the artist:
“My art, my work is everything to me.
I like to think through the eyes of art, to plunge into color combinations.
I believe if a person isn’t developing, he’s slipping. It’s not enough just to keep at a high level, one needs to develop constantly, to work hard. That’s why there’s nothing better than a challenging work, which makes you exceed yourself.
Everything is for the better. Everything that happens to a person is for the better. I think the world likes us, but it doesn’t spoil us. It trains a person and polishes his character.
In short: a romantic person with somewhat philosophical views. Optimist.?Actually, that’s all I can say about myself.?I would like to avoid either praising myself, or criticizing.
I do commissions – various design works and illustrations, and I accept commissions though the Internet.”
Take a closer look at her gallery.
Here is our first look at her work.
