SUMMER!! this is for Rachel

so, summer is here. and while i have not felt like doing anything, i've had to. which kind of sucks. so before i started summer school, i decided to have a small taste of summer vacation, meaning a bbq party. : D This is the invite i created. it was just the image, the information was on a seperate part of the invite.

it's not my favourite piece i've ever done, but i am quite satisfied with it.

Movie Poster

This Movie Poster was based on Pater Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover.



I experimented a bit with papercutting on this one. I like it, but it is pretty tedious. Totally makes me in awe of Hina Aoyama's work. I mean, I was cutting for one hour with those tiny scissors, and my fingers were killing me. and her work is infinately more detailed then mine was. Even then, I ended up using an exacto knife for some of the smaller cuts.
Here are some closer-ups of my work

More packaging!

So, this is one of the projects this year, I struggled a lot with. It was a mostly structural project, which is something I have never done. So, it isn't perfect, but I am really proud of it.

The assignment was to package multiples of the same product, whether they were already sold in groups or not, and to redesign it so that it revealed the product, but also kept it safe and make the package more sustainable (a lot of the packaging stuff is about that... huh).

This is the original package.




This is my Redesigned version.



I know it isn't perfect, but as i said, I am proud of what I achieved.

Terry's Painting

This is the painting I did for Terry's class, hence the title. There isn't really a concept behind it, I just found a picture I liked, tweeked it a bit, and then painted it. Overall, I am quite satisfied.

I know. Terrible picture. I will take a better one when I feel more up to it.

Watercolours : D hoorah!

So, this year, I've been doing a lot of watercolour stuff in my life drawing class. I think i've improved a lot and am quite satisfied with some of the work i've done in that class.

I really like the textures in this one, even though the drawing isn't that great.



This one, I did the drawing with crayon. I think I like the way it looks, but I'm not entirely sure it would work out every time..


This last one I think is the best one I've done so far. The colours are a lot more saturated then most of the others, and I really liked working on a different type of water colour paper.

Pride Poster

This Assignment was to create a poster for the Toronto Pride Festival. Again, all hand rendered type : ) And I love paisley. haha. can you tell?

Holiday Record Guide

The Project was to create an illustrative cover for a holiday record guide that would appear in a weekly newspaper, such as Eye Weekly or Now.
