I am an illustrator, working and living in Toronto, Canada, where I share a house with my fabulous wife, illustrator Jody Hewgill. My work has been included in Communication Arts, American Illustration, The Society of Illustrators, Applied Arts and Graphis annuals, the Illustration Index, as well as "This Face You Got", a compilation of portraiture. The work contained on this site is a cross section of my personal and professional pieces.

One of my recent creations is "The Pop-up Book of Phobias". You can view Quicktime™ low res movies of the pops through my "Edgy" portfolio page. Just click on the book to take you to the phobias section of this site.

I would be most appreciative for any feedback on my work and/or this website.

Thanks for browsing , Balvis
