Life drawing

2012-01-28T21:37:00.000-05:00

I'm not too fond of my life drawings, but I guess this gives a good insight as to what I do on the spur of the moment...

2012-01-28T21:28:00.004-05:00

Personal branding... haha. I'm thinking the background shapes within the circles aren't doing anything good. Mostly this was for a possible future website. Some quick "fashion drawings"... I want to make better ones. Hm..... work in progress frustration... Sketching out of boredom.

Click to enlarge! Identity in the form of CDs, album cover, and interior sleeve layouts. Synthetic Saint is a fictional band and I tried to brand it as a new wave/electronic kind of album. It was really nice since the band name was randomly picked out of a bag and I just happened to really like it.

Assignment process stuff.

Making this typeface was pretty calming and de-stressing somehow. I call it the "Kelly-barely-knows-what-she's-doing-and-hopefully-the-idea-will-be-approved typeface". It was inspired by this. The context of this image will be revealed shortly. Modest and pretty boring graphic design beginnings. Photo by Pierre Debusschere. I don't have a scanner and I have to go great lengths in

Sneak peek. Workin' on stuff. Call me creepy, but I really like to draw strangers.

I'm done and I want to cry from happiness. Click to enlarge.

Sneak peek at a possible title. I know, I knowwww, gratuitous use of Bebas and Museo. I only hope Jill and Claire won't castrate me for using this many typefaces at once. Something tells me I am... and "and" and "in" need to be changed to maybe a script? And this was good practice, something I started in the summer then finished it a few days ago after a dry spell of four months.

Just updating on a Friday night, no big deal. Final and process. Not the biggest fan of how it looks from afar though. I think the compo could've been more interesting but less is more, more or less...right? I haven't had any food all day due to working in studio non-stop for many hours, save for some grapes. Time to eat and force myself to do more work. Woo woo.

Shabby croppings. Decisions, decisions. I'm thinking of switching back to Tumblr to post my stuff. Y/N? Or both?

2011-10-26T05:15:00.000-04:00

Off to a slow start in terms of work during reading week... just fiddling around with my fake album cover textures. Yes, that is indeed tinfoil. I don't really know what direction I want to take yet- this is only the beginning! Blah. I hope it'll shape up soon. Oh, and my desktop background typeface flow chart you can see a bit of is by http://julianhansen.com/. I found it printed out

2011-10-26T05:10:00.000-04:00

Looking at it now, it kind of looks a bit traced?! It really isn't... It seems like I do a lot of digital work on here but that actually isn't the case- I just haven't gotten around to documenting my traditional stuff yet. Stay tuned~ old old stuff (as far back as 2006!) Hm...I must improve.

Infographic assignment. Assignment that was supposed to be based on a conversation I heard. The conversation was "And then they died." "Really?" "Probably. That's their story." Spot illustration assignment for articles. Top left: married couples in the US who sleep in separate beds. Top right: how the Eiffel Tower shrinks in the winter. Bottom left: millions of toxins are released into the

Spot illustration process! Almost done. These were for various articles which will be revealed soon.

Process of my infographic assignment. Everything's all cluttered right now but I'm just getting started! We don't have to delve too deeply into stats and charts yet, but this will be an interesting little exercise. You can also see instructions I placed on how to make an axonometric image so I can always refer back to it while working, it's what I do.

I do commissions, anyone interested should send me an email! Also I updated my last post with a bunch of work- I wanted this post to be at the top for now, haha. <-----------------------------------------------------look in this general direction

2011-04-20T23:03:00.010-04:00

And here's this. Also, take a look at this collaboration I did with my friend via laptop touchpad on Photoshop out of boredom: ISN'T IT AMAZING?! I'll treasure it always. Hahaha.

This is (part of) what I've been dying over for the past day. I'm so indecisive when it comes to designs like this. The week of "death" has begun, and today, everything that could go wrong...went wrong. My friend An and I were finishing up linocuts and many misfortunes such as bleeding thumbs, almost fainting, missing times, malnourishment weakness and library fines were upon us. The Latin means

Tentative inside front/back cover of my zine, heavily inspired by Leif Podhajsky. (I like circles.)

I'd like to apologise beforehand for my lack of review writing experience, but I've recently had the pleasure of listening to Physical Heaven, the new EP by Nashville-based band Mother/Father, which will be out on May 18.Songs:The Hours Witch Physical HeavenCascadesFleece YouOrder A pleasing array of sonic textures, soulful singing and dreamy, ethereal tones reminiscent of the 80's post-punk

Up close: an old piece from grade 12. This was for a small scholarship solo exhibition in 2009 at the Mckay House on Main Street in Unionville. So many other people deserved it more than I did, but I'm thankful!

finally, an update!

2010-04-30T14:23:00.002-04:00

This was an assignment, it was surprisingly enjoyable since I'm not used to making digital art. Once printed out onto card, cut into vertical pages and bound, it made for a sweet calendar that could be hung on the fridge or propped up on a desk.

hello world

This is a place where I might post some paintings, drawings & things I like. We'll see.
