The New Coming of Winter

This is a piece I finished about a month and a half ago for a group project that is soon to be unveiled. I decided to go digital for this I am pleased with the outcome. The inspiration for the image came from this book I own called 'The Old House Book'. I was just flipping through the pages and I saw this shot of a red cabin in the winter. The rest is history.

Thoughts?

Just some random doodles I have been keeping busy with. If you can identify any people I went to school with, +10 points.

Happy Halloween!

Let me first start off by blowing some dust off my blog. -Ahem-

Ok, thanks.

My life has just been absolutely crazy since moving back to Ottawa and I have put a lot of my life on hold as a result. I am currently working at Bell in the internet technical support department and that's mostly where my time is going. My hours are really messed up and because of that, I am often not very inspired to do work when I get home. Luckily, it's autumn and I always get so inspired during the fall season. So finally I was able to come up with some ideas for a new piece and here it is!

I spent the entire day yesterday searching for inspiration and I finally found it. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I think my most favorite holiday event would be Halloween, which is why it's only necessary I do an illustration inspired by it :)!

Homegirls - Nellie McClung

This is my piece for the homegirls show at Pentimento gallery. The show's theme is about Canadian women throughout history. Throughout the month of august, there will be votes designated to the the choice image to be put up as a mural on the side of the gallery.

I chose to illustrate Nellie McClung. For those who are unaware of whom she is, Nellie McClung was a activist for female rights. She was a member of the famous five and fought for the acceptance that women are persons. Among many of her accomplishments, I chose to portray the groundwork she laid out so women could vote.

If you are in Toronto, please check out the show and don't forget to vote!

Free Wallpaper!

It has been a month since my last post and I apologize for those of you who actually follow my blog! I just moved back to Ottawa so I needed to wrap everything up, didn't have a lot of time for illustration. Now that I'm home I'm going to throw myself back into my work and attempt an illustration career lol. I decided to make a free wallpaper for anyone who's interested!

I made four colour versions to give a bit of a selection.

IMPORTANT - MAKE SURE YOU TILE THE BACKGROUNG

Enjoy:

If done correctly, it will look something like this:

An Evening Stroll

Not too much to say about this piece. I went out with friends the other night for a bike ride in downtown Oakville and I got inspired by the park. Thoughts?

Debbie Harry 4 Sarah

This is an image request by Sarah (incase you couldn't already tell lol). We are doing an image exchange and this was my end of the deal. I actually really like how it turned out. Thoughts?
