It turns out that his outdoor work is a a very small sample of his actual artwork. He does a lot of interiors for corporate headquarters. He also paints on everything from skateboards to sneakers to furniture and even entire cars !

Sweet Peas Mural
This is a mural that I have posted earlier at a floral shop. A collaboration between himself and Alex Bacon. I got to meet the owner to Sweet Peas at his show.
This is what she said on her Instagram about this mural.
“It’s been a crazy week, watching our new mural come together. We are so thankful to everyone who has helped make this happen. The artists ????@dudemanart and @vizsla_bacon ???? were phenomenal to work with. Please check them out, support them however possible (tag them with any photos you post). We appreciate the experience and talent they brought to all of us with this piece. Many of you had the pleasure of speaking with them throughout the project and know how great they are. Thanks to the City of Toronto’s StART program for their support with materials. Shoutout to @jonathanhuman for the perfectly good cedar fence and ongoing hype. And of course, our beloved Roncy community. We wanted to bring something beautiful and full of life to all of you, in appreciation for your support through our move to 294 Roncesvalles. It’s been a huge journey (with a lot of way to go). We are grateful beyond words. Enjoy. Visit. We love to see you.”
