Dave Murray’s ongoing passion for hockey is no secret. If you’re familiar with his work, it’s easy to see why NHL VP of Creative Paul Conway and Fanbrandz Creative Director Bill Frederick commissioned Dave to illustrate this incredible series for the 2022 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic. Taking into consideration the Steeltown history of the game’s location in Hamilton Dave set to work, infusing each illustration with an industrial edge. Dave’s unique graphic style and use of texture give these players depth and movement. Talk about a perfect match!

The folks at trevor//peter were coordinating a series of events for Airbnb this summer and they needed a wow factor. Taking place in the heart of Toronto, Canada the team decided a map of the city - 10 feet x 15 feet - would be the perfect way to draw the crowd to their booth.
Illustrator Dave Murray, a proud Torontonian, was chosen to work on the project. Dave quickly assembled a brilliant collage of Toronto's coolest neighborhoods and points of interest. Graphic, bold, colorful, the piece beckons you to point out where you live or where you need to visit.

Greg Stevenson's Poster for 'The Audience'
It was great to connect with our longstanding client, art director Wade Gilpin at Rossignol Design, for this special assignment. Illustrator Greg Stevenson, with his ability to create an uncanny likeness, was the natural choice for this poster of Fiona Reid as Queen Elizabeth II in the upcoming Mirvish production of "The Audience". Not a small feat, to create two likenesses in one portraiture, but Greg pulls is off beautifully. With the use of luminous, rich color the illustration is undeniably regal and with that smile Fiona's character shines through.

Tim Zeltner for the Riverdale Farm
When the Riverdale Farm's Stewardship Group first approached i2i art to commission a whimsical yet functional map of the Riverdale Farm, Tim Zeltner was chosen for his rich hand painted folk art style (actually painted on wood), and the journey to discover and depict the Farm in all it's wonder began! Below you will see Tim really captures this gem in the heart of downtown Toronto. The map illustration will be used on marketing materials and a give-away map for visitors.

An awfully cute wooly resident of the farm, not too bothered by the crowd that night nibbles on some fresh local produce.

Tour the Farm, visit the animals and chat with the farmer during daily chores. It's a delightful way to spend a day in the 'country' without leaving the city!
