Blackbird stuff

Here's a small project for Visual Narrative class- 2 spreads based on song lyrics from the folktale "Blackbird/Black Nag". I'm happy with how the colours turned out, and the linework was fun too. The compositions (especially the first one) could have used some tweaking, but I'll save my worrying for the big final project coming up this semester instead :)
I'm using the same story for my animation for computers class, which should be interesting.

Boom Shiva

Whoa!! What's that you say? Boobies?
I did this over the summer for the restaurant my uncle co-owns in Toronto (female pin-up Shiva, topless for inside the restaurant). I was going to post the clothed version as well, but it's the same thing only not quite as awesome. This project was a lot of fun!

PS> if you wanna check out the restaurant, it's called "Boom Shiva", on Queen St. W in-between the Drake and the Gladstone. It's a little pricier than college-students tend to eat, but has very tasty (also veggie) food and like a hundred different types of fairly cheap beer from microbreweries etc. Cool stuff.

Finally!!

Geez, so I finally managed to get back into my account (yay!)
Here's the update I've been trying to do for months :P



This illustration was done on the computer-- it started out differently as a fake maybelline lipstick ad for a magazine project I was doing, but got revamped when I was playing around. I think it turned out pretty good.
PS> this is a picture of my desk at school! All cutesy. It now showcases a real-live small potted christmas tree! So long as I keep watering it, it'll be all nice and festive all the way till Christmas!

inaugural post

Did this quick painting as a doodle about 2 nights ago and really liked it.
It's basically the first nice piece I've done for myself since I started at the college. Felt really good to just sit down and doodle without feeling pressured in some way. Hopefully I can make more things like this. Incorporated some of the henna-inspired designs I picked up over the summer, which turned out nice, in a nice gold pen.
