Every Chip Stand & HomeSense

When Joel and I started our Every Chip Stand side-project nearly 10 years ago, we never imagined that our artwork would eventually strike such a chord that the chain store HomeSense would want to license it and sell it in their stores. We’re very excited to have the art available to a such a wide audience, printed in poster-size and framed, ready to hang. It’s really cool seeing people’s reaction to the art on Instagram and being able to bring a little bit of Canadiana nostalgia to their living rooms 🙂

And in case you want a specific chip stand and can’t find it at HomeSense, we also sell prints in our Etsy shop

Mid-winter 2024 update

This winter has been one of the mildest on record. We can hardly even have called it winter, because it was mostly rain and mud. I think this season should have been called Mid-Mud, or Mud-something.

Anyway, good thing I had these latest projects to keep me busy:

Spots for Seattle Met

Wolves circling, for an article about eviction in Kingston, ON. For the Skeleton Park Press,

Portrait of novelist Kim Thúy for Canadian Geographic.
Polka Spudz in Barry’s Bay, ON for Every Chip Stand.
Perky’s Fish & Fries Too in Elmvale, ON for Every Chip Stand.
A&K Lick-a-Chick in Little Bras d’Or, Nova Scotia for Every Chip Stand.

The year in review 2023

This year I actually felt like I needed a break during the holidays. November and December were extremely busy with deadlines, getting ready for the Fat Goose Craft Fair with our Every Chip Stand project, and sewing for a costuming event. I’m happy with the illustrations I churned out this year but feel like it’s not a lot to show for 365 days.

Here is a gallery of pretty much everything I drew this year, either for editorial clients, or gifts for family, or plein-air in England or for Every Chip Stand. At the end, enjoy a few of my costuming projects.

Chip stands for Chatelaine Magazine

It’s nice when a side-project gets you paying work! Joel Kimmel and I teamed up (as Every Chip Stand) to illustrate chip trucks across Canada for a travel advertorial in Chatelaine Magazine. Super fun assignment!

You can see the online article here (with larger illustrations than the print version).

Our side-project Every Chip Stand is now in its 4th year and we’ve illustrated over 50 chip stands, mostly across Ontario (there are a LOT)! We’re always open to illustrate visually interesting-looking chip stands, so if you know of one we’ve not covered, please let us know. Recently we’ve set up an Etsy print shop to buy prints of our chip stand illustrations. And of course, don’t forget to follow us on Instagram @everychipstand to see all the illustrations (including the ones Joel did for this Chatelaine article).

Wistman’s Wood

Here is a travel illustration I did as a portfolio-piece about things found in Wistman’s Wood, a mystical section of forest in the Dartmoor National Park. There is a legend that a fanged dog roams the wood!
