Naked Shmaked

Decided i should put up some of my life drawings from this year. Life drawing has been super relaxing this year, we just go in and hang out and draw its pretty awesome, all of it due to a Monsieur Harvey Chan. He's awesome...he has a gentle way of shoving you towards progress.

The first two were done within the last few weeks, and the b&w inks are from earlier this semester. Sorry for the bad photos, the colours are a little messed.

Brains are the new Black

This is my first attempt at using after effects (8 weeks into the course, thanks dave *sarcastic thumbs up*). Im pretty happy with how it turned out, although i wouldnt mind going back in and re timing everything. It seems like a fun program that offers up a myriad of avenues for making what the french like to call " le awesome "....

thats right ladies, Im a connoisseur. Hope you digg it.

Better Dreams...

10 x 10", acrylic and ink on paper

This piece was my contribution to the 2nd round of the 'Better Dreams' project. The premise for this project was that we were all given a piece of completely instrumental music, and we had to illustrate our emotional response to it. The first project was lead by Monsieur Dubeau, who for some reason he seems to be popping up on my blog quite a bit...Hey Greg, get your own blog!

Our ol' fearless leader for this second round is the always dapper Dave Murray. The pieces will all be on display in the Sheridan student gallery starting Monday, November 5th.

Dwindling Duality

Yuta told me too...ergo, update! So a reading week has now come and gone, along with a birthday...home is a fickle creature, it feels great to be there but it lusts after my time and physical energy...leaving me full of food and ice cream cake...*yes...there is a difference*. Spending time with the fam helped to center myself, i'm feeling a tad more energized and ready for the next round ...or so my horoscope tells me.

St. Catherines, you've not disappointed me yet. Many thanks to Mr. Murray for inviting me, and Gregory Dubeau for the entertainment.

The last last refuges of zee old sketchbook, the top one features a fanciful little lemur that visited the school one afternoon...the little bastard wouldn't stop moving. Another person who wouldn't quit moving was the equally fanciful Ms. Kniivila, this was done while she painted some lusciously lusty lemons. I (heart) alliterations

Since the last post i've finished and started a new sketchbook...I find myself doing more exploration in this new sketchbook, trying to find a way to communicate my drawings into a more final stage, thus far its shown me a pretty good time....
and it has this racing stripe on the spine that i think is rather sharp.

I've been dabbling into the digital arena as of late...so expect some of that action soon!
