Hey guys,

Just a quick update. This is an invite postcard I did for Grace Chinese Gospel Church's easter event.
Enjooy, and come if you happen to be on this side of the planet...and free.

Hey Guys,
So I did the Kony piece, but I haven't gotten around to photographing the published page so I post this instead.

It's always amused me that we put different connotations into the words that define who we are. I feel like that in and of itself says a lot about our species.

Enjoyy =]

Hey folks!
Sorry for the silence. It's been busy, which I know is no excuse. Bad me.
Anyway I took a break from school work to do this. The debate of whether or not to release information regarding suicides on the TTC subway is on going. The largest fear being that of copycats. Statistics like this were, however, released on February 2009. Unfortunately, further statistics have not been forthcoming. Regardless, I think it's an interesting topic of public awareness as well as protection and it was definitely eye opening to have a look at this.

Hope y'all are doing well. And if, for some reason, you have been living under a rock and have not seen it, check out Kony2012. I've been asked to do an illustration on it so researching that has been an eye opener as well. I'd be interested to know what you think, whoever you are. So if you have a moment and an opinion, I'd love to hear it!

BIRDS [cont.]

So I forgot to upload these with the bird diagrams. Here are some sketches and rough research to accompany the hawk wing and ani topography. Fun stuff!


The hawks were drawn from two visiting hawks from the Peregrine Foundation. All the other birds are referenced from the ROM's stuffed collection.

BIRDS

Hey guys,
Here's a topographical study and wing study of a Smooth-billed Ani and Red-tailed Hawk [respectively].


W O R S T :
I think the biggest challenges for this project had to be those feathers. Dang birds got so many of them all over the place. How is anyone supposed to know where one part starts and one part ends?!

B E S T :

Most enjoyable part of this was definitely having the opportunity to get a close up look of a Red-tailed and a Harris hawk.

Enjoy!

SMAUG

Hey folks!
I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings and recently I've been reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien [for the first time]. The imagery used in this book is just SO rich and inspiring. This particular passage describing the worm, "Smaug", was especially vibrant in my mind. Sadly, school work and other inspirations have sort of pushed this project to the back of the line but I thought I'd share the little that I have so far. It does not at all do the story justice but hopefully I'll get back to it soon. If not, just reading Tolkien's work will complete the rest of the picture for you.

DINO

Hey Folks!
Here's a process book for a toy project. This project taught me that dowels suck. Drawing them, sanding them, painting them, it all sucks! But I do love how the little guy turned out. I am very pleased indeed.
