Some of his work from this series were selected by The City of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and Ottawa's Downtown Rideau BIA to wrap local traffic boxes showcasing the images of the digital collages.

He tends to gravitate towards a retro, colorful and witty, even cheeky edge in his work. He has exhibited his work around Ottawa at such venues as Patrick Gordon Framing, Tennessy Willems Restaurant, Mint studios, Beyond the Pale Brewery, and Vimy Brewing Company, as well as the Ottawa Art Gallery's Galerie Annexe.
James Bond Series
"This is a series of digital collages created starting in 2016, inspired by the spirit of the vintage James Bond novels and films from the early 1960s depicting fictional Bond Girls.
The girls are beautiful and deadly, and I chose a different "signature" weapon for each to use.
The collages are composed using snippets of imagery pulled from the internet, including vintage 50s era fashion, film, music, and even burlesque.
