HugABull Holiday Open House!


Created a poster for the upcoming Hug Event. I took some inspiration from an Ayden Gallery flyer for Chroma (show in August). Dave and I painted pup portraits for their calendar, which will both be showcased at the event. If you have a pup, bring it to the event!! Christmas portraits by donation...and you can never go wrong with pups in Christmas get up. Never!

The question of equality

The latest illustration for the student newspaper.  The article discusses the necessity of having a Women's Centre on campus in our modern day and age, pointing out some of the irony and old-fashioned points of view.

Sinead O'Portman

A type portrait done for my typography class. I used a photo of Natalie Portman from V for Vendetta, but she looks more like Sinead O'Conner. Both pull off the shaved head look exceptionally well. Typeface was Brioso.

Bring on the 90's

Here's my illustration for the Cap courier, our university newspaper. The article is about the general fitness activities you can do here on campus. The tone of the article is pretty mellow, by someone who isn't a big athlete or exercise enthusiast...well I got the impression he didn't really like exercise at all. Handrawn then scanned and coloured digitally, to try something new. Note to self, colouring on a laptop trackpad is not fun, nor easy.Vectoring my ink outline reminded me of the early 90's clip art of my childhood. Old school and retro is in, so I'm bringing back the 90's palette. Say yes to teal. Always.

scratch attack

We finally got our last assignments back from our illustration class last year. The class wrote a story one line at a time then drew to see who would illustrate which line. It was a cool assignment in that whoever wrote the line had to art direct the person who was to illustrate it. Not only did we have to produce another person's idea, but we had to do it the way they envisioned it...and preferably not in our personal "style". This is the first time I've used scratch board and really enjoyed it...as tedious as it can be haha.


...oh, and I can't remember what my line of the story was, but those are giant reception bars that had just exploded out of a broken cell phone. They're deadly ya know?
