A Christmas Card for Pipeline Studio

2012-01-17T15:52:00.000-08:00

I was thrilled that Pipeline Studio asked me to design their Christmas card this year and discovered that a pipeline isn't just another name for a process, but it's a reef break that is notorious for huge waves which goes right along with their logo (everything makes sense now!) .

Honeymoon In Hawaii

2011-09-24T17:03:00.000-07:00

Ben and I had a blast in Oahu. We climbed Diamond Head, went snorkeling, relaxed at the beach, and explored the island in a red mustang convertible! It was a much needed vacation! Ben and I did this painting together, it's our way of saying thanks to all our wedding guests especially our families and our wedding party! Thanks everyone! Mahalo!

I'm having a lot of fun working on 'Chef Ben'. It gives me a chance to get back into painting and learn some new techniques. Can't wait to see the book all together.... Yay Sarah we're getting closer!!

I've been illustrating on my first children's book "Chef Ben" written by Sarah Jarvis. I will keep you posted on when it will be in stores. It's a really cute story and I'm glad I got to be a part of it.

The FILMS I worked on at my time in Sheridan!

2010-01-19T17:08:00.001-08:00

This is my 4th year film "JUNKO JANGO" (created from Sept 2008-April 2009). It was animated in Flash and all the backgrounds were painted in photoshop. I did intend on getting rid of all the linework, but for the time that was given this is my first individual film :) I had a lot of fun working on it. Thanks to my family and Ben for all your help and encouragement!

"THE CELESTIAL OX" was my 3rd year film (created from Sept 2007-April 2008). It was a group film and once again I had a lot of fun working on the film and working with an amazing group!

Oh summer time....

2009-08-06T15:33:00.000-07:00

Here's a little bit of concept art from a project I'm working on over the summer. It's been a busy summer so far, sorry for the lack of posts. I'm still figuring out how to balance work and "fun art time".

Stills from Junko Jango

2009-06-28T17:35:00.000-07:00

Here is a couple of stills from my film, Junko Jango. I will be posting my film up soon. It was a fun last year! Lately I've been working on a variety of different jobs so my posts have been lacking. Hope to get up some new stuff soon. Congratulations everyone on graduating!

MY FILM IS COMING SOON!!!!

2009-03-15T13:27:00.000-07:00

I took a little break from animating to work on my poster. It's fun to finally paint something again. I'm excited to finish the film....just got to keep working!

Here's one of my life drawings and sketchbook pages for our first portfolio.

4TH YEAR BEGINS!!!!

2008-09-30T15:57:00.000-07:00

I'm back in school for one final year, hard to believe! So the film begins, my film is about one of my childhood experiences about over-coming fears and taking the time to look closer and in doing so finding something really amazing! Here's my first try at the main characters in my film.

DEIGHTON'S WELL-Cover Art show

2008-07-14T21:53:00.000-07:00

I recently did this for an art show in BC, the theme of it was cover art, so of course I jumped at the idea to do it based on my all time favourite TV show, Boy Meets World. I love the characters in that show, so it was fun to caricature them. I drew it out first them painted it in photoshop thanks to the help of Ben's tablet...mine is back in Ontario. Hope you like it.

THE PAN OF THE YEAR

2008-04-13T16:17:00.000-07:00

Well, the third year films are finally finished, I am happy to say that our film...THE CELESTIAL OX film is completed, all coloured and composited. We all worked together really well and for many hours, right up till the very end. I wish I could do it again, on the whole, I had a great time and worked with an amazing group of people! So here is my scene for the film (low res because it couldn't fit in high), I designed and painted the BG and animated all the characters and trees except for the ox group at the end, which was done by Andy. Thanks Mocaps, I had a blast!

My Yearbook Page..oh the memories

2008-03-03T00:14:00.001-08:00

Every year, Sheridan has an animation yearbook called the Flipbook, where all the students have a page of their work shown, so this year I wanted to try a different approach, it was fun to do.

stragglers from Italy,

2007-10-07T14:29:00.000-07:00

The real deal in florence (picture I took this summer)
I caricatured the buildings on Ponte Vechio Bridge, they always appeared to me as if they were going to fall off the side of the bridge at any minute!

Working at a coffee shop over the summer has its benefits

2007-09-09T15:34:00.001-07:00

Over the summer I worked at Espresso Legato in Bowmanville, an awesome coffee, and here you would meet all kinds of great people. I will never forget this experience, and that making coffee really is an art of its own.

More Italy projects over summer

2007-09-09T14:39:00.001-07:00

The top one is of a street in tuscany, I sat and drew it there and then painted it back home over summer. There is so many plants around every door. Everywhere you would turn could be a picture. The middle is a city in Cinque Terra, just "caricatured". I liked this place a lot, it was filled with colour and everywhere you looked were characters and story ideas. The last one is Rome, Venice, and Florence meeting for coffee.

Characters On Ponte Vecchio Bridge Florence

2007-09-09T13:29:00.001-07:00

These were some of the people that I came across in Florence on my favourite bridge. This day it was actually raining, so I was stuck under an awning until the rain passed, so during that time I drew the people that passed by and the ones that caught my eye.

Sketches from Italy before colour!!

2007-06-23T18:54:00.000-07:00

This was my favourite bridge in Florence, I couldn't stop going there to draw.

This is what it was like inside the bridge, lots of people around!

More sketches while in Italy,(on site inked drawings) I'll add some colour a little later....I'll keep em coming

First set of drawings from Italy!!

2007-06-23T18:44:00.000-07:00

I've just started to gather up my drawings from Italy, it was cool because everywhere you looked there was something to draw, so this is my first installation, one of our projects was to make are own postcard, then we did some life drawing..yup first time painting life drawing, it was fun, and the other is a sample of what each page of my journal pretty much looks like! and I filled two whole journals, good memories!

Summer 2007 recap

2007-06-23T18:36:00.000-07:00

At the famous Espresso Legato Coffee House I showed and sold my artwork to the public

Clarington Arts and Music Festival was a lot of fun, here I sold paintings, and drew caricatures

As for the Anti-50's sign, I now work at the best coffee shop and recently it was the 50's week, but we had a rebellion and decided to make it 60's and 80's, I got to dress up too, fun stuff! I love summer

On july 1st I did a lot of caricatures for the people of NEWCASTLE!!!

2006-09-19T17:47:00.000-07:00

It was our 150th anniversary and they wanted to do something special for it, so I got offered to do caricatures for the public, I donated all the money I made for sick kids. It was a lot of fun!

A start of something Cool

2006-09-19T17:44:00.000-07:00

Over the summer I started to do caricatures for birthday parties. It was a lot of fun and a good experience to get a chance to share your stuff with others, plus besides getting paid for it, you get lots of practise.
