THE COLLECTIVE PODCAST

I recently had a chat with Ash Thorp on his internet show "The Collective". Ash is a talented designer/illustrator/motion graphics artist in the film industry and he hosts a weekly podcast dedicated to  having conversations with entertainment industry professionals. The show is very casual, being more of a free form conversation as opposed to an interview. During the course of the show we hit upon many different subjects including my book, work/life balance, self reflection and much more, so if you are interested you can check it out here: 

The Collective, ep.46 - Derek Stenning

Ash also has piles of other episodes of The Collectiveon his SoundCloud site, featuring amazing artists including Scott Robertson, Anthony Jones, Jeff Simpson, and Ryan Hawkins just to name a few. 

Visit The Collective and take a look.

Thanks to Ash Thorp for having me on!

TINY MOB GAMES

Here is an promotional illustration I did recently for Tiny Mob Games. Tiny Mob are a small, but growing game developer located in Victoria BC,  that focus on creating casual/mobile/social games for the "mid-core" market. You can check them out at: tinymobgames.com

Tiny Mob are currently finishing up their first title and they are planning on launching it later this spring. I had the chance to contribute to that project so I'll post some of that work once the project has been announced.

Thanks to Paul and Jamie at Tiny Mob.

FANTASY+ 5

Some pieces from my Entartete Kunst series have been featured in the latest, and 5th edition of the Fantasy+ art book. A small interview is also included along with my work. 

This is a great book, full of amazing work by artists from all over the world. Other artists featured include Matt Gaser, Tran Nguyen, Dennis Brown, Yu Donglu, Justin Hernandez, and many more I should mention, but I won't list them all here! 

Thanks to Vincent Zhao for asking me to be part of this book. Fantasy+ 5 - The World's Most Imaginative Artworks is published by CYPI Press and is out now so go pick one up.

KENSHO

A few pieces from my Entartete Kunst series were licensed by Dutch experimental/psychedelic beat artist Kensho to be used as covers for EP's in his new trilogy, Welcome to the Continuum. You can check out his work at his Bandcamp site, or on various online music outlets like Beatport, etc.

Thanks to Jakobus van der Ploeg.

2D ARTIST MAGAZINE FEATURE

Work from my Enartete Kunst series is on the cover and is featured in a 10 page article/interview in the February edition of 2D Artist Magazine. Topics covered include the EK Series, freelance work, concept art, and my book. I had done character design walkthrough for 2D Artist last September, and it was great to work with them again.

This issue is also filled with great work from Calum Alexander Watt, Kurt Papstein, Geoffrey Ernault and B. Börkur Eiríksson, just to name a few.

Check out a preview of the issue here.

Thanks to Jess Serjent-Tipping for the opportunity.

I was recently interviewed as part of a series on concept art featured on the CBC Radio program On The Island.  In the interview segments included in the program we discuss the role of the concept artist in production as well as my new book.
