The last of the Farmer's Market illustrations

Thanks to everyone in crit who did not mention the cow is missing a tail, as well as those horn thingys. I just noticed now.

Rain

Working on a spring weather-inspired project for Market Mall/Monday's class, so I made some rain

Worklife 2

Myself, along with my classmates Jackie Lee and Jenn Kitagawa, and tons of awesome illustrators from all over the world, will be featured in Worklife 2, the second Uppercase directory of illustrators. It should be appearing sometime in February, but Janine Vangool of Uppercase just revealed the new cover yesterday! Very pretty and exciting.

Green Ribbon Test

This looks better than it did...but still too colouring-book-y for my liking...must find a way to fix that this week...while preferably still sleeping a bit...

 

Lisa Hannigan Poster

A couple colour combo's, I'm using the green cause the yellow

Tom and the Squirrels

The cover and first page of my concept development book. Tom is named after my Dad, but doesn't look or act like him...

Tea Spots

Wow, I haven't posted anything for so long I almost forgot how. Good thing blogger is SOOO simple. Anyways, a couple spot illustrations for Numi teas. I think I will work on my Bushman a bit tomorrow, he is kinda wierd.

The Forest

This is kind of fitting, since it snowed this morning....

Baseball Final

Finally got around to finishing my baseball piece!

Shiela Norgate

I just got back from a week-long camping trip on Gabriola Island, in BC. While I was there I was lucky enough to discover the work of one of the local artists, Sheila Norgate. I came home to look her up online, and I'm loving the landscapes in these bird images, as well as the subtle collage elements.Her website: www.sheilanorgate.com

Beautiful!

Paper Weaving, and Growy Things

For fun, and maybe a project

More Baseball Stuff

I finally found some sketchbook doodling time!

Today's Inspiration: Baseball!

Specifically, kids playing baseball. I think they look so cute in all the gear.....

I heard from Jamie Morris about a call for submissions for the Children's Hospital, for which I have to do an illustration based on sports. I immediately gravitated towards something baseball themed....maybe because it's one of the few sports I actually know the rules for, or because I have been driving my baseball glove around in my trunk for over a year, just in case I decide to call up my Dad and go have a game of catch like when I was a kid. Anyways baseball and kids are a natural combination to me, and kind of bring up this nostalgic feeling, which in turn reminded me of the great movie The Sandlot, whic I think I might go watch right now....
