      <image:title>Beyond Hockey - "Vertigo" acrylic paint, 18" x 24", January 2026</image:title>
      <image:caption>My other love besides Walkmans and cassettes, is turntables and vinyl records. My interest in older audio technology isn’t because I’m nostalgic or seek retro items, it’s because this what I have been using since I was young and don’t see why I need to change. I’ve amassed a lot of records and tapes and they still bring joy whenever I play them. Now this all seems to be coming back in “style”. More to come!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Beyond Hockey - "WM-GX35 aka: Sorry Ma", acrylic paint and marker, 16" x 20", April 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>I recently received an artist grant to study and produce artwork based on portable cassette players/recorders, cassettes and the culture and music that surrounds it. It’s an ambitious project that will take a year to complete and this painting is the first of many to be part of the series. I’m pretty obsessed and driven by tapes and records already, so this will be a wild, spontaneous and very enjoyable “mixtape” of fun! Stay tuned!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Beyond Hockey - "Panasonic Shock Wave" acrylic paint, 24" x 30", January 2026</image:title>
      <image:caption>Technically, this is not part of the Walkman Project, but I have so many more portable cassette players I want to paint, so I will continue. I own this one and it’s a heavy, bulky and rugged machine, that has an armored car kind of look to it. I think this would look very impressive on anyone’s living room wall. Let me know and we can make it happen!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A weird perspective, aerial view of a cow was too good to pass up. I love working in colour pencil, so this seemed like an ambitious fun drawing.</image:caption>

I also drew the black and white pen illustrations inside the book. It was a pleasure to be part of the project.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Beyond Hockey - "Yellow Walkman" screen print/marker, 9" x 10.5", November 2023</image:title>
      <image:caption>The iconic Sony Sports Walkman! I own three difference Sports versions and this one is pretty basic with no radio and a slick smooth finish. It still works, of course and I’ve started to walk around town listening to tapes again. Not that I ever stopped, but technology has gotten smaller, better sounding and wireless, but to me nothing beats the coolness of the Walkman! This was a screen print that needed a colour boost, so the bold brightness of acrylic markers helps. SOLD</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Another rabbit drawing to pair with a previous bunny pic (Begging Rabbit).

      <image:caption>Walkman with all the basic options, auto reverse, mega bass, anti-rolling and radio that spent years serving as the kitchen radio. Trying different mediums for each model and I’m sure they’ll be more watercolour renditions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The title is the model number of this Sony Walkman. I liked the blue and silver colour of this one and has a sleek model styling.

      <image:caption>Singer/songwriter, Juliana Hatfield performed a series of livestream concerts during the COVID pandemic. This image was taken from one of those concerts. I love working with colour pencil on colour paper, because the colours seem to literally pop out from the background. A fun piece to work on, especially since she’s been one of my favourite performers since the 90’s.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Canadian singer/songwriter, Kathleen Edwards (Kitty is her nickname) has often professed her love of hockey, which automatically gives her a place in my heart. This image was taken from the CD insert from her excellent debut album, Failer which was recently reissued on vinyl. I used a mixture of black and brown ink diluted with water to create a wash effect.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Beyond Hockey - "Here Comes Your Man" Scratchboard, 8 1/2" x 11", May 2021</image:title>
      <image:caption>Scratchboard is basically the reverse of pen &amp; ink and you can get a much finer line for even more detail. You need a steady hand, but I really like the results. Pixies fans will recognize the dog.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Not only am I fan of cassettes and Walkmans, I’m also a vinyl record lover. I’ve amassed a huge record collection and there never seems to be enough time to listen as much as I want to. This is an image of my actual turntable, with an album on the very cool Vertigo label spinning. Available for sale $50.00 unframed “NEW” shirts: now available. $25.00 Black image on white shirt.

      <image:title>Prints - "White-out" blockprint, 6 3/4" x 11", December 2022</image:title>
      <image:caption>When the Winnipeg Jets host home games during the NHL playoffs, the fans dress in white to produce a whiteout effect. This has been tradition since the Jets were in the league (the first time) during the 80’s and 90’s. The energy and pure white noise from the crowd is a phenomenon Jets fans are proud of. This print captures some of that energy and experience. Go Jets! paper size: 9 1/2” x 13” Available for sale on the Etsy page or message me. $75.00 (unframed)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Prints - "Random Rabbits" (Rabbits in Hell) linocut print, 6" x 8" (image), December 2025</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each print I did in this run is totally different. For the first prints I used red ink and I gradually added black (without cleaning the roller), so the effect with red mixed with black. The image here is the middle range, that looks a bit like bunnies prancing around in flames. Well, at least that’s I thought at the time. Most of the prints in this series are available and I’ll post soon in the blog section the different colour variants (red&gt;black). $50.00 (unframed) inquires, message me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I recently took a screen printing class, as I’ve been always curious about the process and the possibilities. I hope to use these skills for future print projects! This is my first real crack at the process and it turned out better than I anticipated. You don’t have to be a hockey fan to enjoy the nostalgia and simplicity of a pair of old-time hockey skates!

      <image:caption>I’ve been feeling nostalgic recently, so I’ve been drawing things that make me happy and who doesn’t love a boombox! I got this Pioneer boombox in the early 80’s and it changed my life! Music became more portable and I could blast tunes in my room, outside, road-trips, anywhere! I’ve even recorded my own music on this unit and it sounds terrific! It still sounds great, so here’s a tribute to my rockin’ boombox! paper size 9.5 x 11.5 Available on my Etsy page or message me here. $60 (unframed) price just reduced!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It’s been a tradition during the NHL playoffs for Winnipeg Jets fans to dress in white (for home games) and cheer crazily to create a “white-out” effect. It’s quite the sight and sound to be there and it’s like nothing else I’ve experienced. I hoped to capture a tiny bit of that excitement in this piece! Page size: 9 1/2” x 13” $60.00 (unframed).

      <image:caption>During the 1990’s-2010’s, I made prints at home utilizing carvable print blocks to produce “one of a kind” monoprints. The image of Calgary Flames goalie, Miikka Kiprusoff is acrylic paint printed on off-white acid-free paper. This is a monoprint, as each print differs greatly from each other, both in colour and effect. Some turned out better than others, this is a really good one!

      <image:caption>Colour block print (monoprint) that was produced in a very limited number of prints. They are uniquely slightly different from each other, as they are hand painted blocks then pressed onto paper. The image of the Montreal Canadian’s, Ken Dryden resonates with a certain age demographic, which I was definitely part of. This is one of my most popular prints and I only one or so left... NEW!

      <image:caption>New, old stock litho from art school that I have only a few left. A themed project with our lithography class and the intaglio class where we created our interpretation of the title. We exchanged prints so everyone received one print from every class member, what a great idea! My interpretation was a literal translation, pretty obvious, right? If you’re unfamiliar with lithography, I drew the image directly onto a thick large smooth stone with a litho (grease) pencil. A bunch of chemicals are rubbed into the image then it’s inked up and rolled through an ancient looking press, $60 CDN unframed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Bernie!", acrylic paint, 18" x 24", September 2025</image:title>
      <image:caption>This painting is a tribute to one of the greatest goalies from the 60’s &amp; 70’s, Bernie Parent. He backstopped the Philadelphia Flyers to back to back cups in (1973-74, 1974-75), winning the Conn Smythe (MVP of the playoffs) and Vezina (top goalie), both seasons. When I heard the news of Bernie’s passing, I immediately began the piece and completed it within two weeks, which for me is pretty quick. His iconic mask, along with the brilliant orange of the Flyers jersey makes the piece quite striking and attention grabbing. I’m happy how it turned out!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "2022 Canadian Women's Hockey Team" colour pencil, 11" x 14", March 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>Women’s hockey is getting it’s well deserved moment now, with the new Professional Women’s Hockey League, drawing big crowds and getting much needed media and broadcast coverage. I did a similar image a few years ago, with an aerial shot of a previous team in watercolour. This time it’s colour pencil on black paper, which gives it dramatic look. I like how it turned out, but unfortunately, it looks better in person as the photo mutes a lot of the intense colour.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Dryden" colour pencil, 9" x 12", January 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are so many great images of Ken Dryden, it’s hard not to draw more. I loved the primal uniqueness of Dryden’s first mask that he wore early in his career with the Habs. His later red and blue swirl paint job mask was okay, but not nearly as cool!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tribute to the late Dunc Wilson, who was best remembered playing for the Vancouver Canucks in the early 70’s, I depicted him as a member of the Leafs. Dunc was an unique goalie who often played on the edge and I respect him for that! A true original! This is an acrylic painting on wood.

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Sawchuk" pen &amp; ink, 7" x 10", October 2023</image:title>
      <image:caption>Truly one of the great goalies of his generation and he was born in my hometown! I don’t think he received the respect and accolades he deserved, playing in era where he literally took it “old school” in the face. I depicted him later in his career when he wore a mask, but rest assured he was one of the most brave and gutsiest players to lace on the pads! Message me to purchase the original drawing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I used to draw goalie masks even as far back as elementary school and one of my favourites was Gerry Cheevers, when he played for the Boston Bruins. His mask was distinctive and unique with stitch marks painted on his mask every time he got hit in the face. Yes, I drew him in pen and usually on the my notebooks, textbooks and desk. I spent a lot of my time in grade 4 washing desks!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Memories of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, when the surprising Florida Panthers clawed their way into the finals. They were led by Matthew “Chucky” Tkachuk, who had a monster playoffs that physically took it’s toll on his body enough to miss the final game (they lost!). Inspired by my love for a certain candy, this was a fun painting that is worth celebrating!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chicago Blackhawks captain, Jonathan Toews is one the greatest leaders to have played in the NHL. He led the Hawks to 3 Stanley Cups in the 2010’s and his legacy as a clutch performer will be sadly missed from the Hawks moving forward. Truly one of the best!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Winnipeg Jets, Connor Hellebuyck enjoying the moment during the outdoor game in 2019. There is a lot more colour in this painting than there probably was in the cold crowd, but it contrasts nicely with the falling snow. Probably my favourite piece, so far!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Dryden In Blue" pencil crayon wash on canvas, 11" x 14", September 2022</image:title>
      <image:caption>The colour pencil crayons are the water-soluble type that gives a watercolour effect when water is brushed on. Originally, the blue was a sketch guideline for a painting, but I liked the look so I went with it. It has a rougher, sketch quality, which is fine.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The “Bulin Wall”, as he was known in Winnipeg, was the Jets last goalie before moving to Phoenix, which means he was the first goalie for the upstart desert franchise. He went on to better and bigger things, including a Stanley Cup with the Lightning and many years in the Blackhawks organization. He’s still remembered fondly in Winnipeg (his first NHL team) with his spectacular play and character. I’m a big fan and loved capturing Khabby with watercolour and pen work!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A fitting tribute to the great Guy LaFleur who passed away in April. The “Flower” was one of the all-time greats on the Habs during the 70’s and 80’s.

      <image:caption>In the spring of the 2021, the Montreal Canadians were Stanley Cup finalists, losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning, largely because of the incredible play of Hab’s goalie, Carey Price. Colour pencil is an effective way of capturing the details of Price’s mask and the toned paper allows the white to stand out.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Drawn on black paper to give it an eerie feel and so the colours can stand out better. Scene was after the Jets, Mark Scheifele laid out his infamous hit on the Canadians, Jake Evans during the 2021 NHL playoffs.

      <image:caption>I’ve always been a big fan of Women’s hockey, it’s fast and exciting and the Canadian team has always been top 2 in the world. The image is of the classic 2004 team and from goalie. Sami Jo Small’s memoir. This watercolour painting was challenging because of the amount of players, but it was a pleasure to work on and it was a relief it turned out not too badly.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For many Canadian kids, the tabletop hockey game was a rite of passage. They were so crappily made, we went through many versions over the years. The most hilarious part of the game were the near identical players and the bare-face goalie stance. A subject matter that is instantly identifiable and so Canadiana that I felt I had to depict. Another painting I had lots of fun with!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My love for Tony Esposito begins with his unique mask, that I will always remember him by. I drew this as a tribute to the Blackhawk great that we lost in August of 2021. A combination of pen and ink wash, it effectively separates the mask from the man. R.I.P. Tony O!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Rocky Favell" acrylic marker on wood, 8" x 10", September 2021</image:title>
      <image:caption>Doug Favell was one of the first goalies to paint his mask. The colours usually matched the team he was playing for and they were always interesting. The complete piece is drawn with acrylic markers, so the colours and highlights really stand out. I really like this piece!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Espo" acrylic marker on canvas, 8" x 10", April 2021</image:title>
      <image:caption>First attempt using acrylic markers. It gives it a graphic style and because the markers are so opaque, the colours stand out nicely. These could be very useful in the future, once I use them more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Dryden Mask" acrylic paint on canvas, 8" x 10", May 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ken Dryden’s first NHL mask, the pretzel-style which looks like it didn’t offer up a lot of protection. He only wore it a couple seasons, but it is often what he is remembered with. An early painting when I started to paint the faces inside the mask.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Orr Scores!" ink wash/watercolour, 11.25" x 16", April 2021</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another commission piece, featuring the classic Stanley Cup winning Bobby Orr goal. Most of the painting is in grey (b &amp; w) shade to emphasize the vintage look of the time period (1970) and highlight, Orr and the lone “misplaced” Leafs fan in the crowd (the recipient of the gift) with colour. I thought it turned out well, not so sure what the Leafs fan thought. SOLD</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Scheifele Drives The Net" watercolour, 12" x 18", March 2021</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was my first commission piece for a Winnipeg Jets fan &amp; Bruins fan. I’m always comfortable painting in watercolour and it was a good choice of medium for this piece. I’m open for custom commission pieces, especially hockey-related. SOLD</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Big Save Crow" watercolour, 12" x 18", October 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>A tribute to Chicago Blackhawks goalie, Corey Crawford who announced his surprise retirement on January 9, 2021. “Crow” was instrumental for backstopping the Hawks to two of their Stanley Cups in the 2010’s. The energy and excitement he brought to the United Center will not be the same.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Crashing The Blue Paint" watercolour, 12" x 18", May 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>Watercolour is a fantastic medium for hockey, it’s an opportunity to use a washy effect for the ice surface, which tends to be more of a blue tone than white (even outside the “blue paint” area). I tend to find the aerial view an interesting angle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hockey Art - "Faceoff" watercolour, 11" x 14", April 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>The first watercolour during the beginning of COVID and when I quit my day job to do art full-time. It had been a while since I painted a watercolour piece, so it was a re-learning experience. I’m pleased how it turned out, now I’m hooked!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The final image submitted for my grant and it depicts the very first portable cassette player I ever owned. My dad brought it back from Japan in the early 80’s around the time the Sony machines mass arrived in North America. This machine is the highest quality and solidly built machine I own. The AM/FM “cassette” pack inserts where the tape would be and functions as a radio tuner. So cool!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the time when I painted this piece, it was the largest I’ve ever painted. I like this particular model of Sports Walkman because of all the buttons and labeling, which made it more interesting and with it’s chunky size, it was built like a tank!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Walkman Art Project - "Stereo Recording Walkman", acrylic paint on wood, 11" x 14", June 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>This particular Walkman, I used to make live concert recordings in the 1990’s. It made decent recordings considering it wasn’t digital and was recorded on cassette tapes. It was reliable though and always gave me a big rush of fun when in action. Great memories!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Walkman Art Project - "WM-GX35 aka: Sorry Ma" acrylic paint &amp; marker, 16" x 20", April 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is the first completed piece for The Walkman Art Project, created from the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society Grant I received in April 2024. This grant allowed me to work almost exclusively on this project, which was completed in July 2025. The project studied and produced artwork based on portable cassette players/recorders, cassettes and the culture and music that surrounds it. It was an ambitious project that took a year to complete and this painting is the first of many that was part of the series. I’m pretty obsessed and driven by tapes and records already, so this was a wild, spontaneous and very enjoyable “mixtape” of fun!</image:caption>

Along with a rendering of the player, I included interesting facts of unique and distinguishing features. The obvious starting point is the first portable music player, the TPS-L2.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Featuring two decks, you can record from one cassette to another in the same machine. Truly unique and innovative at the time, it didn’t catch on with the public, as it was discontinued quickly. Very cool looking machine!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A machine that was definitely ahead of it’s time. A Solar powered Walkman sounded like a good idea, but to power playing tapes needed an extra burst of battery power. Regardless, I would love to find one!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A portable cassette player and mini TV set? This must have been the smallest TV, which was not unlike watching a show on your smart phone, but this was 1986. Such technology did exist, but the cost and lack of working channels made this more a cool novelty, than practical.</image:caption>
