Hey everybody!
OMG (and I mean that, I never type those letters...) it's been over a year since I added a new journal entry! I thought i would rectify that now.
Belated Thank You's to everyone who took the time to wish me a Happy BDay back in January! You guys rock.
Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way of my art skills so I haven't really produced any new stuff lately. (Any good stuff anywho...)
Work's been busy - and after sitting in front of a computer pleasing the forces that be everyday in and out - you tend to stay away from such things when you have some free time. But it's not all bad - been living life and getting back in touch with those who I haven't seen in ages.
I do however still have things on the back burner art wise. I do plan to book myself another artist's table at this year's local C4 (Central Canada Comic Con) so that calls for new personal work.
So please stay tuned - and thanks to those who have been waiting patiently - there will be new art to view soon.

Your pal,
JPox

So, it's a little late.
Hey folks, hope all is well in DA land. I've been busy-busy with worky-worky for the last 7 months and I'm just settling into office life. When the only jobs you've had involve plenty of walking and helping customers, this was a shock to my system just sitting still for a day's work. Trying to get a regular exercise regime underway what with summer approaching, need to stay in some sort of shape you know...
Since my time has involved sitting and clicking a mouse lately, I've had little time for sitting and creating. Sad but true. On the plus side, I have doodled out many ideas that I hope to create stories with and hopefully get my web-comic plan going.
For the time being, you may see more and more conceptual art posted here rather than cleaned up versions. They're mostly doodles I've been scribbling at work in-between After Effects renders and Graphic Design projects. Hope you like 'em. They can be considered sneak peeks of upcoming artwork and comics....?
That's all I got to say about that so, I'll try to update my info more often not to leave you wondering.

Hey everybody!
Sorry about being gone for so long, but life has been very busy.
Since I've been here last time, I've started a graphic design job at a pretty big company, working freelance as an animator for a locally shot short film, and have just attended a great weekend at the Central Canada Comic Con (C4)!
It's been hard trying to fit in some time for personal art these days, but I did mange to create some new stuff for the recent con. I will be posting cropped versions here for viewing pleasures. "Cropped" because a lot of the stuff were prints sold at C4 and that's kind of unfair to those who paid for a print but it ends up on here. Fair's fair you know.
I've also been trying to find the time to work on concepts for my planned web-comic series, hopefully premiering in the new year. It will be a variety of stories, featuring a variety of characters at first, but hopefully that means "spin-offs". Only time will tell.
So thanks again for being patient with me and I'll be posting some new artwork as soon as possible.
Stay "toon"-ed.

It's been a few months since I've updated my journal, so I thought it would be time to do so.
There's been a bit of positive news concerning my illustration, I've obtained an artist's table at this year's Central Canada Comic Con (formally Winnipeg Comic Con) and hopefully will be getting some good exposure. Also I've been asked to work on a 2-page story for a friend's comic book. Artistic things are looking up! :)
Hope everyone is having a good summer so far!
Cheers,
JPox

BTW here is the link to the Comic Con being held in Winnipeg Oct. 31 - Nov. 2!

Lots of great guests this year! Hopefully this will eventually start the industry growing here!

What a year this has been so far...
If change is a good thing, it sure takes some getting used too.
For the last month or so, there have been major changes happening and I just can't get back onto the creative band wagon. I feel lost and keep thinking I should continue developing my style and projects, but I just can't get into the groove.
I've seem to have lost a connection with the creative community after graduating from school last spring and I think I may have to re-connect again. If not here (Winnipeg), elsewhere.
A lot of the time, I am surrounded by people who just don't understand my passion for old school cartooning and animation. "Kids today..." ;) Maybe it's time to find people who can relate, and maybe that will reignite my creativity.
Just had to get that off my chest. Now I should really try to dive into a current video project I've been putting off. Thanks for reading if you've gotten this far through my post.
Cheers!
