April showers bring May flowers!

Friends of mine have organized a total of 12 very talented artists from Canada to create a calendar for 2014 called Seasonal Beauties! This is my piece for April. The calendar follows the story of two people who meet (Amy and Scott) and fall in love in Toronto.

Links of artists: Dean Heezen, Katie Shanahan, Amanda Martin, myself, Emily Choi, Kyu-bum Lee, Jay Bone, Lee Ann Dufour, Paul Watling, Andrew Murray, Mel Maduro and Sasha Bogolyubova. 

a girl in space

The colors on my mac and the cintiq are very different. I wonder which one is more accurate? I've been trying to do achieve this specific mood... Atmospheric and dark, but bright and overall simple with little bits of happy details. I don't think I've got it yet..

Sometimes it's very satisfying to draw horrible things.. to get it out of your system. It's in all of us.

space girl

Space girl warrior. She likes to kick butt, and she doesn't want to be your friend.              

thank you

It's been a yearrrrr! Time goes by so incredibly fast!
Here's a "Thank You" card I designed to send to my guests.

lighting study

This is my view from where I'm sitting, except 99% of the time, the blinds are completely closed because the bright light is distracting when it's in my face. A little sad that it's preferable to work in a dark room...

STATION ZERO

I was lucky enough to participate in Light Grey Art Lab's exhibition for their show, STATION ZERO, where over 80 artists were chosen and asked to re-do a vintage sci fi book. All sci-fi books were personally mailed out to individual addresses so it was a pretty cool project to be a part of. :) THANK YOU!

You can purchase prints HERE :P

Justin Time!

I think for various reasons, these are some of my favorite backgrounds I've done for Justin Time season 2 at Guru Studio. JT is probably my favorite project to have worked on so far, and I feel lucky to have been a part of it. The stars were aligned. It wasn't only that it was a good looking show, which it really is (and yes, working on a good looking show helps but it's not everything), but I learned so much and I feel like I've grown from stretching myself constantly. There was always something challenging that drove me to want to be a better artist, and it helped that I was always inspired and humbled for working next to such amazing, wicked-talented artists.

I sort of felt like I needed to express my feelings and reflect on what it was like to work on this show because there were so many things about it that made it really special, including the production team; directors, producers, production managers etc... everyone was awesome to work with. With so many things that could've gone wrong, in this extremely rare case, the stars were aligned, and it was pretty sweet.

I designed wedding invites for my friends Emma and David who got hitched in Mexico! I also got to baby sit their cute yorkie Mia! :) 

blue valentine

Hi-lo navy blue military jacket. It's what I'd buy. :)
I'd call it "Blue Valentine" because it's blue, and military jackets are romantic.

Holy moly guacamole.

Sorry blog, it's been so long.
I'm sure by now even friends have stopped caring about this sad and lonely blog. Hopefully I can stay more faithful to posts and generate more traffic. In the meantime...
A sketch.
I haven't drawn people in SO long... I almost forgot how hard it is. I've been doing too much environment, not enough human. Rocky sketch. It'll come back...

George R. R. Martin is in town!

I needed to quickly come up with a quick sketch so my lovely friend Andrew Murray can get my book signed and give him a little print of this (and the one of daenerys and her dragon).
Total fan-girl... (embarrassing...)

SUPER!

sometimes, i really wish i had super powers... so i can go home faster than the ttc.

i am...

... feeling deep fried like shrimp tempura.
