Ocean Lurv

I haven't taken a breath underwater in almost three years. I think being on land so much is driving me a little batty, so I've been doodling little sea creatures incessantly. So here's some little ideas I've developing for a bigger piece down the road. 

Face.

'cause faces are coo. And so is updating regularly. 

Drop text

While on the bus I was thinking of Michaela's grad show piece, the incredibly brightly illustrated 'hype' was inspired to do this little diddy and play around with drop text. I wish masking fluid was more malleable, but in the end I sort of like the rough edges.  

I used a little gouache to help these ones, but their crudeness prevailed (as did mine) as the night went on. It's surprising what seems clever and funny in the late hours of the evening, which really isn't the next day. 

From my sketchbook and beyond.

My copics are were running low, so what else can you do but scribble away what's left?

Summer Projects

It's a big decision to decide what to focus on during the summer months. But there's something about large heads on small bodies that amuses me, so caricaturing it is! Here is a group caricature of  the band Treelines . They're a great band coming out of Kelowna and good guys all around.Check them out here..

And so ends first year...

A recap on some of my favourite work this past term...

Style inspired by the legendary Ralph Steadman (demonstrated more in the writing style). 

Ink on Bristol.

CD cover for a Peter and the Wolf album. Acrylic on Illustration Board.

His name is Cheeto Man, you should Google him. Pretty awesome. Not.

Amelie Film logo in the style of Saul Bass. Ink on torn Paper.

Murder Mystery Illustration, Gouache and ink. 

 There's a couple pieces I still need to get back from my instructors, but these are some of the pieces I've had a lot of fun with. It's hard to believe first term is over, but I'm definitely ready for summer... Now I have free time to paint all my personal projects (the jellyfish will be completed!). 

Miles told me to do so.

So here's a new post. There will be more up soon. I promise.

Watercolour Brandon, a caricature of course. Good fun.
