This may be a bit strange, but out of anything in my life this was the most difficult project i’ve ever dealt with.

This is a one of a kind urn that I designed for my mom (Illustration Bottom Right).

After going to numerous funeral homes, nothing really seemed to be my mom. So the decision was made that I was to design it myself. After all, I got my creativity from her.

After a long period of searching, I was able to find an 82 year old woodcarver named Rod Deon that lives in Toronto.

In my eyes, he is one of the best woodcarvers i’ve ever seen, and thanks to him i’ve seen a few!

So why you ask would I put it on my site? This project compares to no other, and is the project that i’m most proud of. After six months of working with Rod, as you can see, a masterpiece was created. He brought my drawing to life exactly how I illustrated it. And for that, i’m forever thankful to such an amazing man.
