some printmaking

Playing around with print making today. Ended up with a four layer not very good print. Each photo is a layer of colour that is printed separately.

Music Waste

Illustrations for the June issue of Discorder magazine. The theme for this month was music festivals.

Print for the full page illustration.

Ink pattern for the guitar. The pattern I inked with a brush on paper and did it separately from the guitar print. Then I collaged the two images together in Photoshop to create the final piece.

Discorder magazine

Very excited to have my work published in the April issue of Discorder magazine! Here are the illustrations I did for them. The article is on Ken Lum's new artwork "Vancouver Especially", which is a critique of Vancouver's real estate market. In my pieces I am trying to convey the unreachable-ness of buying a house in Vancouver. I enjoyed doing the type piece, I should do more type-only pieces.

Some in-process lino carving.

Rough for full page illustration.

 Process pics for the type "Vancouver Especially". For the "especially" type I inked overtop an existing typeface, and collaged together the best letters.

year of the goat

An illustration for Chinese New Year, year of the goat. The flowers for this year are the primrose, lucky numbers are 2 and 7. Lucky colours are brown, red and purple. 2015 is the year of the wood goat, so I put a wood texture as background.

Process drawings and prints.

winter reading

Another self-promo illustration. This one is based on the subject "winter reading." I love curling up with a cup of tea and a good book. 

Prints of the different pieces of the illustration.

superstitions

Working on some self-promo spot illustrations. This is a series around superstitions. This first one is "A bird in the house is a sign of death."

"If the first butterfly you see in the year is white, you will have good luck all year."

"If you whistle or play a flute at night, snakes will come to you."

christmas card

Worked on my Christmas card today. Basing it off of this sketch from one of my previous sketchbooks.

These are the pieces that I am putting together in Photoshop. Reusing one of my lino blocks, got a piece of a flower on my print.

Playing around with some hand drawn type.
