Serifs are like Sideburns

I had a nap and dreamt that I was talking to someone about fonts, and I was saying how Serif fonts are kind of like sideburns, they don't seem to be trendy anymore. I woke up and made this.

Various Logos and Type Treatments

* TD Canada Trust Logos shown here were unused, but I liked them enough to show. The final version was okay, just very simple, not worth showing I don't think.

Kessels Kramer New Tapestry Project

I was invited to participate in the new project by Kessels Kramer. The project is basically a recreation of the old Bayeux Tapestry, which depicted the major news events of 1066. The project is being called 'The New Tapestry', and it consists of illustrators from around the world, contributing black and white images depicting the major news events of today.

I was given 'Week 7' of 2009 to illustrate, (Feb. 9th - 14th). I went with the news article about the US Senate approving Obama's $838bn Economic Stimulus Plan right after a $1.5 trillion Bank Bail Out.

Enjoy.

Just a nonsense painting

Event Flyers

*Yes, I know I used the daft punk image at the bottom of the halloween flyer, but I was asked to use it. My idea for the skulls inside the helmets though... that's something...

H'ART ATTACK SHOW

The H'Art Attack Show opened this past Friday night and it was great! Thank you for everyone who showed up and supported local art. The talent was great, some really stunning photographs and some beautiful mixed media and paintings. The show runs all week long so if you're interested in swinging by please do so! It's at The Sleeping Giant Gallery, 789 Dundas St. W (near Bathurst) Toronto, ON.

Zombie Apocalypse Preview

A snippet of 1 of 3 new watercolour paintings by your favorite person named Darryl Graham. A step away from my modern oldies style but this is what I wanted to paint, ok?! Golly.

I want your body.

Applied Arts Award

The illustrations and design I did for Andrew Livingston's student concept for a Doritos campaign recently won a student award from Applied Arts. Check it out here.

Grub Cananda

My second website this summer (and ever) to be launched very soon for Grub Canada. A online food ordering site that compiles all the take out and delivery locations in your area for a convenient one stop place to order from all your favorite restaurants online (even ones that don't even have wesbites). Check out the site here. (if it doesn't look like the image the new site hasn't launched yet, still works though!)

My first Website

So I completed the design on my first website. Check it out. Campusvactions.com

Disney buys Marvel Comics

So how ironic it is that Disney buys Marvel comics. I suppose my old throwback cartoon style series of Marvel characters are a little more relevant now! haha.

2009 FAN EXPO THANK YOU

This post is to thank everyone who stopped by and chatted with me or bought a print, or both! I had a great great time, although my throat was so sore and my voice sounded like I should be voicing a movie trailer for a horror movie.

For those of you who dressed up, you looked great. I'm always impressed by the hard work, creativity and inventiveness you all have.

I look forward to seeing all of you next year and hopefully with a recovered voice.

Drop me a line anytime at darryl7@gmail.com
