WHAT IS IT THAT ATTRACTS YOU TO ILLUSTRATION?What attracts me to illustration is the liberty I have to express myself in my drawings. I can mix any type of medium and not have constraints as to what my final outcome will be.

Here is the woodland of his hairline, cedar & pine. Here is a poem about death, three numbers & the police asking me where in the house my friend is, me not knowing, listing the prescriptions, booze, & drugs, shifting a few degrees off axis as the officer hangs up. Here is you, removed from me: still slender, maybe debating as you always did the Beijing-Siberia sleeper train trip; the night ferry to Korea. Every man of my life has a system written with cartographic inclination; I’m an inkling, a cipher, a gateway to other worlds, still feeling the roll of pocketed sky after long days overground.

Here is the shimmering intonation of sorrow, of smart-ness, a memory of lemon juice & feathers, a surreal incidence of echo, your name written within every other’s. Kanji makes me think of you, mist rising from a bowl of boiled noodles, the pastel scenes beyond, jet-liners & tarmac & the utalitarian beauty of leaving time & time again. I write myself in circles; to return to verbalization is to return, inevitably, to you: my lousy first love, my most pro-found yet inexplicable feeling. Masked in oil, we can grapple with each other or we can just let go. Night falls over Tokyo...

FROM WHERE DO YOU GAIN INSPIRATION FOR YOUR DESIGN WORK?I gain inspiration from life; however, specific influences are David Carson and Paula Scher.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR-SELF IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS?In the next five years, I see myself designing, knitting and cycling around Vancouver!

APPLIED ARTS COVER REDESIGN: My direction is about chaos and control. The collaged images and expressive type contrast with the hard edges surrounding the body copy of the articles. I wanted to bring textures into Applied Arts so I multiplied several images that were relevant to each article.
