Hayden Maynard illustrates 'Urban Forest' Series
Illustrator Hayden Maynard shares his passion for wildlife (birds in particular) with the creation of a unique series, ‘Urban Forest’. Playing with scale, Hayden takes a larger than life approach highlighting the majestic quality of nature, bringing each animal to the centre of his illustration. Detailed line work creates depth and dimension, inviting the viewer to walk through and explore the urban landscapes.
Phil Illustrates Snowdrops
Spring is in the air and with this new season comes a sense of hope. It’s this feeling of hope that brought illustrator Phil and poet Hanna Robinson together. Both inspired by the snowdrop flower and the wonders of the natural world. Hanna, looking for a visual to accompany her poem, came across Phil’s painting of snowdrops and felt that it spoke to her. With isolation becoming part of our daily lives it’s wonderful to see that Phil’s art and Hanna’s poem connected them through ideas of growth and resiliency, themes that are often present in Phil’s work.
Phil illustrates 'Maddy Moose' for Bell Box Murals Project
Inspired by the great outdoors, illustrator Phil put paint to action in a collaboration with Bell Box Murals Project, a Community Matters initiative. Tasked with brightening up the corner of Tyrell Ave. and Turner Rd., Phil, in hopes of bringing a more natural element to the city, decided that a large graphic moose would do the trick. The textured layers of paint and distressed finish are signature to Phil’s style, making it feel like ‘Maddy Moose’ has always been part of the neighbourhood.
