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!

Dances With Wolves

I present to you my final piece of artwork that I will ever create at Sheridan. It's really strange to think that in a month I will be on my own in the world looking for illustration work. This assignment was all about movie posters. We had to pick a movie from a giant list and then conceptually portray the one we chose. I for some reason decided to go with Dances With Wolves mostly because when I saw it I just kept hearing my mom say "Tatunka" over and over in my head from when I was a child lol.

I decided to do some progress shots for this piece because I've never done that before. Eventually I would like to invest in a camera that can record so I can do videos and post them on youtube.
