Treehouse Doodle

2011-10-13T00:24:00.000-07:00

Man, this is the doodle that just kept going. It wasn't very planned out, so it's not the greatest compositions ever, but yeah, treehouse.

2011-09-11T23:13:00.000-07:00

finished trolls! man, this took me forever to line. blegh.

WIP troll guy

2011-09-08T00:36:00.000-07:00

I'm going to try to remember to post more work in progress/sketchy type stuff. See above for example.

Odds and Ends

2011-08-15T23:10:00.000-07:00

I know this is a pretty strange mix of subject matter and style, but I thought I'd throw up some of the stuff I've been doodling...

Bird

2011-07-19T22:54:00.000-07:00

Yup, it's a bird.

BGs, mostly

2011-03-15T23:16:00.000-07:00

I don't usually post layout work, even though I do mostly environment concept work as a full time gig, but for once here's some layouts. And also children.

bits of stuff

2011-01-23T22:28:00.000-08:00

Some abandoned projects and sketches...

random waitress

2010-10-05T22:35:00.000-07:00

more traditional type work...

Ugly Animals

2010-09-27T23:32:00.000-07:00

I feel bad reposting, I've already put bits and pieces of this up here, but oh well, here's the finished model pack. It's a pet store full of ugly animal rejects, tribal hamsters, and cuddly wuddly puppies and kittens.

I figured I should do something more traditional next, since I haven't in quite a while, so here's a glimpse at what'll possibly be my next project if i can muster up the enthusiasm. But at the very least it's my take on a Disney-ish, possibly gender confused, heroine.

Pet Store Backgrounds

2010-08-26T21:36:00.000-07:00

Just backgrounds from a model pack I've been working on for, I dunno, forever...

Go Away Unicorn! - Now in Stores

2010-07-12T20:07:00.000-07:00

Ta da! Here is my exciting preview of the first children's book I've both written and illustrated. The book is a new release from McKellar & Martin. Most importantly though, the cover will have glitter on it!

*edit* the book is avaiable now in stores, i.e. Chapters, and available online on amazon HERE

Oh, and there's a story in there too, somewhere!, "Go Away Unicorn" is about a little girl who is befriended by a unicorn, unwillingly. This unicorn turns out to be hard to get rid of.

Anyways, these are the character designs, the cover, and one of my favorite illustration sequences from the book.

Ugly Cat

2010-06-03T22:33:00.001-07:00

It's an ugly cat for the ugly dog! Those uglies gotta stick together, you know.

A post- a miracle

2010-02-08T23:28:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I posted the ghoul school stuff in my portfolio a while back but I don't really think that anyone checks that. I'm not really sure that anyone checks this anymore either, since I post to it so woefully infrequently. but hey, enjoy some new, ugly dog sketches...

2009-09-24T20:39:00.000-07:00

rough sketch, part of something I'm working on..

sketch book stuff

2009-08-19T13:55:00.001-07:00

This is pretty random stuff from my sketchbook. My current unicorn obsession is pretty obvious.

My Lunch Break

2009-08-17T13:51:00.001-07:00

Saw this guy on my lunch break today, unfortunately before I had eaten lunch.. but at least he inspired me.

Winter Doodles

2009-06-07T21:34:00.000-07:00

I finally pulled together some of the doodles and stuff I did over the winter (and before), which is not a lot. It's pretty much just messing around, though the poppies were painted on a wood canvas as a gift. I'll also be putting up some of the concept art from the new book I've been working on called "Dude" soon, which is off to print! There was lots of change through the development of it, so it should be cool to see.

2009-04-23T21:23:00.000-07:00

Man, there's a lot of other half finished stuff that I need to finish, but this is a start at least.

Coming Soon!

2008-11-15T15:49:00.000-08:00

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time, and here's one of the reasons- I illustrated a kids book for a company here in Vancouver called Benjamin Brown Books. The story summary is below. You can view some teaser pages here. The book launches on November 30th, after that it can be found in local bookstores as well as on the website. Neat, huh?

Wenda the Wacky Wiggler is an inspiring story about a
unique little girl who’s always dancing and wiggling with joy.
But when the angry townfolk take away all the music, she
finds herself slumped to the ground in despair. To the towns
surprise it’s in the silence Wenda realizes her love and joy
come from inside! A delightful little tale reminding us of the
unique expression of love and wisdom that each of us are.

Also, here's some random illustrations and stuff I've been doing since I finished. Notice the horribly late halloween illustrations.

Demo Reel- 3 months late

2008-07-28T23:10:00.000-07:00

Finally got my demo reel up- 3 months late, but better late than never.

2008-07-19T00:05:00.001-07:00

To any Cap Alumni out there- We're doing weekly illustrations at the Class of 2008 blog and you're all welcome to join in. This week's topic was Jo, who, for anyone who hasn't witnessed it, dances like a force of nature. and also has a new blog here.

2008-07-07T23:46:00.000-07:00

From looking at Yoko Tanji- who's done some pretty cool stuff.

2008-06-20T18:10:00.000-07:00

I've been busy but none of it is stuff I've been free to post up here, finally scribbled this up on lunch breaks. If the pose doesn't read at all my excuse is that it's cubist breakdance. whatever.

Portfolio!

2008-04-27T16:33:00.000-07:00

I'm done! Okay, well it's a temporary reprive. One more year of 3D- then I'm done.

Better late than never

2008-04-13T00:19:00.000-07:00

Circus avatar! apparently I haven't had my fill of pigtails and stripes just yet.

weekly illustration

2008-03-17T00:50:00.001-07:00

space explorer!

... I should probably make her other hand visible.

Weekly Illustration

2008-03-03T21:36:00.001-08:00

Very, very late weekly illustration. The topic was retro and I was going to redesign the characters from the board game Candyland (Candyland 4EVAH) but I it was a bit ambitious for a weekly illustration.

2008-02-17T23:29:00.000-08:00

I painted this for my mom, who totally had a fro this amazing back when she was in her twenties.

Weekly Illustration...

2008-02-06T15:33:00.000-08:00

From way back: Ultimate Villain Team-up 07! I'd love to colour this but don't hold your breath guys, it'll probably have to wait until after gradshow. And for my belated weekly illustration (topic: steampunk) I coloured my beeman, his vehicle is named the beemer, and he lives in a beehive. I have no idea where the inspiration to draw him came from.

Not a weekly illustration

2008-01-28T22:46:00.001-08:00

Monsters from my Ghoul School model pack.

Weekly Illustration #2

2008-01-20T21:29:00.001-08:00

Weekly Illustration #2= flying machine. aannndd I finally finished the third big-headed girl I had been planning to do.

2008-01-07T21:09:00.000-08:00

I started this waaayyy back before september and finally finished it.

2007-12-19T14:18:00.000-08:00

oh, watercolour, why do you have no undo button?

Weekly Illustration #13?

2007-12-10T15:53:00.000-08:00

mmmmerrryyy christmas!

2007-12-03T23:49:00.000-08:00

sooo, the top post is my completely unnecessarily detailed value sketch for a jungle layout for Moh's class, and the ganster thing is a character pan for a grad show flash film. that is all.

2007-11-28T23:50:00.000-08:00

Weekly Illustration #11?

2007-11-26T17:30:00.000-08:00

Illustration topic= draw yourself as a villan. So it's Xena!- I mean, me! as the evil god of the giant raccoons.

witches

2007-11-24T01:06:00.001-08:00

Woah, this picture is so old. I had it almost done around halloween and then never got around to finishing the bottom (the boring part). It's still kind of messy but whatever. Witches!

2007-11-22T23:56:00.000-08:00

A panda for Jackie.

Everyone knows pandas can't stay away from their Jenga.

2007-11-20T00:23:00.000-08:00

la-la-la-layout

2007-11-14T22:49:00.000-08:00

layout rough + a magician to go with it. there's possibly a dragon in the works for it as well.

Weekly Illustration #10

2007-11-14T20:30:00.000-08:00

Weekly Illustration topic= panic. Hayley never panics because she has her lavender oil and tea. If only the rest of us snorted lavender oil the world would be a better place.

Weekly Illustration #9

2007-11-13T01:01:00.001-08:00

Weekly illustration assignment= character done in Triplets of Belleville style. And yes, she is shoplifting a pineapple.

Geisha redux

2007-11-07T19:37:00.000-08:00

la la la. I don't need to work on my flash film. nope. not me. Clearly colouring this was more important.

Weekly Illustration #8

2007-11-05T20:26:00.001-08:00

Weekly Illustration= Fear.
I'm not actually scared of mimes. I'm scared of deep ocean. Too scared to draw it.

Weekly Illustration #7

2007-10-30T15:34:00.000-07:00

I didn't want to do girls two weeks in a row for illustration day, but I was running out of time. Weekly Illustration Topic= sporting mishaps.

Weekly Illustration #6

2007-10-22T21:31:00.001-07:00

Weekly Illustration= Sexy Beach Party (umm... of one, in my case). And also the purply thing is a background for my flash film.

Weekly Illustration #5

2007-10-15T22:24:00.000-07:00

Rejected Product= Pet Raccoons. As much as I hate to admit it, that would never work. I'm pretty sure the girl in the illustration above is saying "Yay, you made bubbles!".

2007-10-10T22:41:00.000-07:00

My two working sketches for the Amsterdam layout, and my rough blue for it (which still has some perspective problems that I need to beat into submission). Also, a sea monster- I was trying to draw for my flash film but it just snuck onto my screen somehow. go figure.

Weekly Illustration #4

2007-10-08T23:39:00.001-07:00

Weekly Illustration #3

2007-10-02T00:03:00.000-07:00

I'll admit this is a cop out as a caricature, but it's supposed to be Jo as a whale.

Space Case

2007-09-29T16:26:00.000-07:00

The second big headed girl I've coloured (the first was the cowboy, several posts down). I'm going to do a cave girl as well to round off a set of them.

Weekly Illustration #2

2007-09-23T22:11:00.001-07:00

2007-09-22T20:51:00.000-07:00

Ha ha, I should be working on my animatic. Deadline-what-now? what's that?

2007-09-19T22:58:00.000-07:00

I love drawing characters with overbites or underbites.

For some reason the colour of the jpg is a bit washed out. The original is a little bit less... kidney bean coloured.

2007-09-17T22:38:00.000-07:00

Dad, I dedicate this pic to your shiny, beautiful new turntable, may it spin for many years.

Gangstas

2007-09-12T22:41:00.000-07:00

These hommies are from a possible story for my short film class this semester.

Weekly Illustration?

2007-09-10T19:16:00.000-07:00

Everyone thought we had Davie Street as the topic for our first illustration class but it turned out to be a joke. Oh well, mine was a pretty random looking street anyways.

2007-09-05T19:49:00.000-07:00

Yay, I finally got adobe back on my computer. Now I can go back to shunning painter.

2007-07-22T21:48:00.000-07:00

Yup, it's a mermaid.

2007-05-07T22:03:00.000-07:00

I finally coloured my diner characters! Well, except for the burger man, he doesn't deserve to be coloured until I redesign him a bit. I did them with oil pastels on brown newsprint, which was so much fun! The only problem is that the oil pastel has soaked right through the paper and there are now greasy patches on the other side.

2007-04-24T15:05:00.000-07:00

This is the most massive layout I've ever done. The pan is three feet long although bit of the bottom of it is missing for some reason- most likely because it was put together at 2 in the morning. It also has a four foot overlay of trees and stuff which remains uncoloured- perhaps forever.
Coloured in Painter.

Haroldry II

2007-04-20T20:31:00.000-07:00

Haroldry

2007-04-20T20:14:00.000-07:00

These are some of the pages for the model pack I handed in this semester. Harold, the boy, is the main character, he's training to be the greatest knight in aaallll the land. Bill, who looks suspisciously like shakespeare is his tutor. Reginald, the jester, is teaching Harold the art of the sword. Penelope, the princess, keeps Harold in line. Harold's dog Scruff, is endlessly faithful and equally as stupid, and the chicken is named dinner, but has successfully avoided becoming it for many years.
All the colouring was done with watecolour paints, and some painter 10 tweaking.

not schoolwork

2007-03-31T10:31:00.000-07:00

This was the one good part in a bad, bad layout idea that I gave up on, so technically it's schoolwork and not procrastinating... right?

Boy & Bear

2007-03-26T23:12:00.000-07:00

Our final animation project of the semester has to be of a biped riding a quadraped. I think I'll do this boy and polar bear sliding/tumbling/ or running down a steep icy slope. I wanted to see if I could manage to draw the bear and kid in lots of different poses but they don't exactly stay on model. They might change anyways, and bear in mind that the final designs might have to be simpler- hopefully they'll be bearable, or I might barely get it done in time...

okay I'm out of puns.
