Gary has been the creative force behind virtually all design aspects of Rue Morgue, including magazine covers, event posters, merchandise, and designs for their websites. The publication is into its thirteenth year, and has quickly become the industry's leading magazine for horror in culture and entertainment.

On the little time he has off, Gary has been a regular contributor to the popular heavy metal magazine Revolver and Royal Flush Magazine, an international publication dedicated to music, art and comics. His love of music has landed him work designing gig posters, t-shirts and album art for bands such as The Misfits, Tiger Army, The Brains, Ghoultown, Electric Frankenstein and The Creepshow. In December of 2008, Gary hosted "I Remember Halloween." at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, a one night only solo art show that was featured on Space TV. Gary has shown his work at art galleries in NY and Montreal and was recently voted "artist of the year" at the Rondo Hatton Awards, an organization that recognizes achievements of professionals and fans within the classic horror realm. For the second year in a row, Rue Morgue also earned the win for best magazine at the awards. ECW Press recently released "Encyclopedia Gothica", written by Toronto journalist and goth expert, Liisa Ladouceur. An A-Z tome on gothic culture, Gary contributed the cover design and 24 new illustrations, available in book stores everywhere.
