Fall into the Season

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.

Mary Kay Gift Cards

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.

If anyone in the Ottawa area is interested in purchasing any Mary Kay products and would like a gift certificate please let me know.

Comedy Debut! I am a lesbian

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:

New Business Cards!

After about a two and a half week wait my business cards finally arrived! 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:

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.

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.

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

Below is the digital version of the cards. Front and back:

Ottawa Magazine

 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. 

I decided to play with multiple 'streams' being my main visual reference and work from there. Ultimately I am very pleased with the outcome 

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