CHAOS

2008-04-30T10:09:00.000-04:00

In December 07 I put together a project with a few friends, and the end result is here:

CHAOS is a graphic novel anthology lovingly created by 14 friends, designed by 3, and edited by 1. It's also now available for sale online!

In other news, I just spent like 20 minutes cursing at this site for not being fixed, when I realized I hadn't cleared my browser cache. Man.

Musics

2007-11-12T17:20:00.000-05:00

Just listing off a few songs I'm listening to right now. That's real-bloggish, right?

Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Strokes - Reptilia
Los Campesinos - You!Me!Dancing!
Arch Enemy - Dead Eyes See No Future
Stills - Of Montreal

In other news, working on an introspective autobiographical thingy for school. Something in the direction of Craig Thompson's Blankets, though far shorter. It looks to be a great deal of fun. Post coming.

Back into Animation

2007-11-08T14:16:00.001-05:00

I decided, for our ongoing assignment class, to put together an animation. Those of you that have known me for a while know that I started in animation before coming to illustration, and this kind of reveals that the love for it hasn't faded entirely. Anyway, this is a little concept piece (and preliminary layout) for how things are going to play out. What you see here is approximately the way the animation will look (just, you know, moving.)

Design - MADD Poster

2007-11-08T14:12:00.000-05:00

Poster for MADD, done for Jill Dallas' 4th year Graphic Design class. Struggled a bit with getting a decent concept for this one, but eventually this idea became a lot of fun to execute.

Will start using this as a blog proper.

Adventuring

2007-04-18T22:56:00.000-04:00

Self-directed piece. Adventuring is pretty much the greatest activity ever.

Evergreen: Schools

2007-04-03T19:01:00.000-04:00

Evergreen (www.evergreen.ca) is an organization dedicated to bringing flora back to the city. This particular piece is my contribution to a group campaign, focusing on schoolyards.

There's supposed to be a fence/vines in the foreground, but I thought the art without it was worth posting.

Private and Public Investigation

2007-02-08T23:19:00.000-05:00

A poster design for Sheridan's Private and Public Investigation program. This is one of the things that I'd totally do after my current program, if only I had the money.

Hardboiled PI

2007-01-25T00:41:00.000-05:00

You might want to click on that and view it bigger. edit: Minor revisions: A few sizing changes, bit of placement.

Serves Justice

2007-01-24T10:35:00.000-05:00

The final panel in my one-page "Recipe for a Hard-boiled Detective."

2007-01-22T16:41:00.000-05:00

Part of a single-page graphic novel spoof recipe, "Recipe for a Hardboiled Detective." There's always that integral part of the protagonist's disillusionment where he loses everything he has to lose (and thus has... NOTHING TO LOSE).

Business Card

2007-01-16T22:33:00.000-05:00

A possible candidate for an upcoming business card. Will probably get revised and such within the next week. Edit: replaced with something better.

6,220,000 Shopping Carts

2007-01-16T14:51:00.000-05:00

A spot illustration for the statistic: "6,220,000 shopping carts went missing this year in the US."

Bassist

2007-01-16T14:44:00.000-05:00

At the Rex again drawing. This player was amazing; the contrabass is such a physical instrument that I think the only way it can be played is if you really get into it.

India Ink on paper, 3 minutes.

The Sinful's Japan Tour Poster

2006-12-21T13:32:00.000-05:00

The Rex

2006-12-13T00:22:00.000-05:00

Drawing at the Rex, February 2006. The bottom marks probably the moment I got really interested in high-contrast B&W.

Drawing to live jazz is something I recommend to everyone.

Old Ulti Design

2006-12-07T00:05:00.000-05:00

This is a design I did years ago that I still like.

Jazz

2006-12-06T23:45:00.000-05:00

Drawn at the Rex, 2005.

CD Cover Mockup

2006-12-06T23:06:00.000-05:00

Mockup CD cover. Clearly, The Sinful plays metal. Their first track title is an homage to the band they want to be. Also the bible quote there is legit... scary, huh?

Perfectionist

2006-12-06T23:01:00.000-05:00

"Perfectionist."

Started.

2006-12-05T21:04:00.000-05:00

Needed a place to put... better art, and perhaps write about stuff. I'll err, do that later.
