Obit illo, December 6th issue

It's published! This obit image was for an Italian immigrant who came to Toronto. I wanted to give the impression of Italy in the distance with a Toronto backyard. These obituary illustrations present a challenge because I want to create a good image, but the photograph in the middle has to be be the focus. It's a great design problem, and I'm always trying to come with new ways to solve it!

Sugar High

I love those junk food booths at the CNE. Here's a piece inspired by lots and lots of sugar. I did a whole doodly pattern for the background, I'll post it in its entirety later!

Something pretty

Here is something decorative and pattern-y that I've been playing with lately. I think it'd be a lovely graphic on a silk scarf! (Hermès, call me :) )

Here's another colour version:



And here's a simple version of the pattern:

Anyone hungry?

I enjoy a bit of sculpting from time to time, here is a mage table I made for my sister.

Mage!

Here's a gift for my sister, of her mage main!

Entertaining Sheep

Here is another set of playful animals for my deluxe version of Penguin Ultimatum! See more of the animals here. All the animals are performing the same four activities: Singing, acrobatics, dancing, and juggling. So I wanted to make sure there was still a decent amount of variety!

Macleans: October 18 issue

Here's my latest illustration for Macleans for the obituary on the back page. This time, it was about a man who was a computer game designer and musician -- taking a different road than his family, who were all in the medical field.

I had a lot of fun doing this image because I got to work in some pixellated effects. I was inspired by the adventure game stuff I'm working on. I'm hoping to incorporate more of this in the future!

I've posted some (but not all) of the other images I've done for Macleans, I ought to get around to posting the rest at some point :P
