I took a few photos of the process and might do a breakdown of my process, if that’s something that interests people.

Following the #BlueJays heartbreaking #WorldSeries loss, I poured my grief (yes, I am dramatic) into some #fanart. I hand-pulled a very small #silkscreenprint run of this design to give to give to friends who shared in my suffering. πŸ˜‚
American League Champs! Nothing wrong with that!

Latest work: #gigposter for the great Ottawa band Double Experience, for their show this Friday at Rainbow Bistro.
This was super fun to draw, and even more fun to print. Laying down that fluorescent pink ink was so satisfying.

It’s pretty funny. I posted this in the Blue Jays subreddit and nary an upvote. πŸ¦— Haha. Probably too weird! Lukewarm reception on instagram as well. lol
Oh well, they can’t all be gold!

Yes, it should be Madman, one word. I’m calling artistic license. πŸ˜†

Gonna try to be more active on here!
Here’s a #gigposter for my longtime pals The Reverb Syndicate for their album release at House of Targ with special guests Slo’ Tom and Antlers.
I thought a surfing #Nosferatu would be in keeping with the Halloween season.

Bravo to the City of Halifax for this move. We need to see more of this from Canadian municipalities, provinces, and the feds.

This was an unexpected, lovely surprise from a few months ago.
Stephen was kind enough to do a little spotlight reel on me and the art I’ve created for him for his new record.

With Canadian legends #BlackieandtheRodeoKings hitting the summer festival circuit, it seems like a good time to revisit a couple of #gigposters I did for them in 2022. Thanks as always to @sfearingmusic.bsky.social, Colin and Tom!

β€œWill Marc make it to Stittsville?” is another riveting question! My 23 followers wanna know! πŸ˜‚

Latest #gigposter: Neon Dreams and Boushle G, EU and UK tour 2025.
Decided to try a classic storybook/fairytale kinda style. It was a lot of fun. I like how the composition worked out.

I’ll be posting a various projects from over the years, but this is a relatively current one.
This is a #poster I designed and #silkscreen printed for the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
I love birds. :)
