Another illustration for Ottawa Magazine. This image was created for the article <i>Comeback Kid. </i>It's a very interesting article about Merlot wine and how it has come in and out of popularity over the years. Currently, it's in. Jane, my awesome art director, suggested we use the classic Aesop fable about the crow and the pitcher to bring life to the illustration. The reason: the word Merlot is a derivative of the word merle which is French for blackbird.
They figure it was called that for one of two reasons — because the grapes are
dark blue/black like the colour of blackbirds, or because blackbirds love to eat
the grapes! <br />

Back in November I was asked to complete a black and white illustration for The Feathertale Review. I was so excited for this project because I have always wanted to do work for this magazine. It's truly a one of kind publication and I'm so happy to have been a part of it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For this assignment I was asked to do a portrait of author Patrick deWitt. He is most famously known for writing the critically acclaimed novel <i>The Sisters Brothers</i>. It's a western themed novel that is about two brothers who are murderers for hire. If you are unfamiliar with the author I hope my illustration will help you remember his face. I find his features are very unique/memorable. </div>

Back in December I was commissioned to create a winter village scene. I really didn't want to make it look too Christmas-y so I made sure to leave out any holiday lights/decorations.

It's always exciting getting to do decorative seasonal work. It helps me get in a state of excitement for the snow before I realize how painfully cold winter can be. This illustration was completed for <i>Strings Magazine </i>holiday issue. My assignment was basically to incorporate stringed instruments into the holidays. I actually had a lot of fun doing this because I got to make some <i>cool</i> custom patterns. If you look closely the snowflakes are made up of stringed instruments, bass, alto, and treble clefs.<br />
<br />
Thank you Emily for considering me for this wonderful project! <br />

<br />
Another illustration for the Ottawa Magazine for their food & wine edition. This illustration was for the article <i>Best of Show</i> by David Lawrason. It was conducted at the Ottawa Wine Challenge and experts had to find the best wines out of 337 bottles submitted.<br />

I was asked to complete an illustration for <i>Shameless Magazine</i> back in August for an article by Cate Simpson titled <i>Making Your Own Medical Decisions.</i>The title of the article is self-explanatory but I strongly urge you to pick up a copy. This magazine is targeted toward female and trans-gendered youth which I believe is very important in today's society.<br />
<br />
This is a larger version of the illustration. I am very happy with how it turned out. It's a simple image but it really gets the point across.<br />

It's that time of the year where summer is starting to wind down and the colours
and smells of fall are starting to emerge. We have many things to look forward
to like the fresh crisp air of the season and probably most important of all,
Halloween.</div>

A while back my mom asked me to design her some promotional gift cards for her Mary Kay business. They arrived today and I'm quite pleased with how they turned out! But I think I'm done with pink for a very long time.<br />
<br />
If anyone in the Ottawa area is interested in purchasing any Mary Kay products and would like a gift certificate please let me know.<br />

I finally decided to take a crack at stand-up comedy. I was so nervous before I went up my sister told me I was as pale as a ghost. I almost didn't do it but I figured hey, what have I got to lose. I think it went pretty well. If you want to keep up to date with my comedy feel free to 'Like' my Facebook page by clicking:<br />

I realized that I was still running on my old cards that I rushed before my grad show a year ago. I knew that with the whole re-vamp of my website, new business cards needed to come, too. So let me take you on a little presentation adventure:<br />

I was told by UPS I would have them by Friday but I knew that wouldn't happen. I had to go to an art show that evening and it would have been nice to have but hey, tis life. Come Monday morning I knew that I would have them in hours. I also desperately needed a shower so I figured I would hop in super fast. Of course, they came at that time. Luckily someone was here and got the package. PHEW! As I ran downstairs this is what I see. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3PLjCdEnWx0/UCkze0jyTPI/AAAAAAAAATY/Rl4Z1QnGjTs/s1600/IMG_0937.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3PLjCdEnWx0/UCkze0jyTPI/AAAAAAAAATY/Rl4Z1QnGjTs/s400/IMG_0937.JPG" width="400" />! </a></div>
I took scissors to it and opened the box with care. I was holding my breathe at this point because I knew that if they didn't turn out I would have to order a new batch. But to my delight I saw the card sitting on top and I knew that they had printed to my exact expectations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I couldn't be happier with the results. I mean, there's owls on my business cards. Can it get any better?<br />
<br />

I was recently asked to complete an illustration for the Ottawa Magazine. The article is titled 'Get A Real Job' by Fateema Sayani and it's about how modern day workers must rely on multiple streams of income to support themselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided to play with multiple 'streams' being my main visual reference and work from there. Ultimately I am very pleased with the outcome </div>

Here are some other examples of roughs I completed. I had about 12 ideas and the art director narrowed them down to two:<br />

<br />
I present to you the next piece of the collective I am a part of called Side by Side Collective. In case you haven't already seen, click <a href="http://sbyscollective.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">here.</a> Our new project's theme was Star Wars. When I first saw this I got SO excited because I thought it would be a really fun opportunity to try something new. Also, it's Star Wars. Surprisingly, it was so hard for me to come up with something. I think I was intimidated by the project due to the vast culture and story that it is made up of.<br />
<br />
What I ended up going with was something that I knew I would enjoy drawing. An intergalactic drag queen, Aka, Queen Amidala. <br />
<br />
I am quite please with how the image turned out. Based on the response from the image I may do more. Thoughts?<br />

This piece was inspired by a couch that my mother owns. It sounds
strange but I am quite pleased with how this piece turned out. It was
actually completed for Side by Side Collective. Please check us out by

Hello bloggers! I am very pleased to announce the launch of a group collective of illustrators called <i>Side by Side Collective</i>! The group consists of myself, Sarah Vandenbrekel, and Michelle Woodward. Please click the link above and take the time to look at our work and follow us!</div>

It was an interesting learning experience overall because I have never worked in such a large format before I learned a lot about how large format printing works. The business is just starting out but so far has been a profitable experience for the owner.<br />
<br />
On the actual sign itself there was some information at the bottom that I never did (the phone number and the website) but the actual words <i>Prince Auto Sales</i> along with the tire and crown were illustrated/designed by me. <br />
<br />
This was the original rough idea that I pitched back in January:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K_D-JpJtgsE/T6QVqislZ_I/AAAAAAAAAPA/8qzgvdiQ-3s/s1600/roughs061.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-K_D-JpJtgsE/T6QVqislZ_I/AAAAAAAAAPA/8qzgvdiQ-3s/s320/roughs061.jpg" width="241" /></a></div>
It was a skeleton to the final design that would ultimately be changed for the better. I have never done graphic design in this way of making notes on a print out but I found it to be very helpful. After many batches of roughs I came out with this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rn8b2OfHibA/T6QWAJ_SmAI/AAAAAAAAAPI/_qKcwg2_TK8/s1600/six_feet_by_nine_feet_wheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rn8b2OfHibA/T6QWAJ_SmAI/AAAAAAAAAPI/_qKcwg2_TK8/s320/six_feet_by_nine_feet_wheel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The owner loved it but was concerned it wouldn't grab a driver's attention enough while driving down the road. So we finally decided to make the PRINCE be a full yellow colour and make a larger space between AUTO and SALES. This is the final:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OfbdszvRaTA/T6QWc39cAJI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/WWE-fGcLxl0/s1600/six_feet_by_nine_feet_wheel_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OfbdszvRaTA/T6QWc39cAJI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/WWE-fGcLxl0/s320/six_feet_by_nine_feet_wheel_4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Below are pictures of the sign being put up. Again, the website and phone number were added on after and were not done by me:<br />
