Hair is Dead

July 12th, 2010
“Hair is Dead” is a work in progress zine. Still conceptualizing each page but here’s a sneak peek at a (nearly) finished work. Color palette’s still on the fence; I might keep it black and white or full blown color.
Canzine 2010 info:  I’m aiming to finish two new zines in time. Three if I’m feeling perky. A few art prints and original inkjet print experiments I’ve been playing around with. Excited to see the new event location!
Secret Art Show:  I’ll be participating in the No Good Beatnik’s art show People Snapping in Toronto at the end of this month (July 30th). This is the second art show I’ll have work displayed in (the first was a very minor space in a U of T event).
Location is a secret! I don’t even know where it’ll be held, so I’ll be armed with blind enthusiasm.

No Good Beatnik’s People Snapping:  I’ll be participating in an informal “secret” art show in Toronto at the end of this month (July 30th). This is the second art show I’ll have work displayed in (the first was a minor contribution to a U of T event).

Location is a secret! I don’t even know where it’ll be held, so I’ll be armed with blind enthusiasm.

Who’s been lurking in the shadows and hanging on a tree branch while I sleep?

Infectious Sketches

June 13th, 2010

I had a few dull looking observational drawings I decided to spice up with a punch of colorful experiments on top. I am really loving these low maintenance watercolor pencils;  set-up is prime reason why I don’t paint as often as I should. Also as a side note: I’ll be uploading bigger images from now on of my works

Pineapple in my Printer

June 7th, 2010

This is a series of inkjet experiments on top of some interesting textures of scrap paper I’ve accumulated over time. Seeing what happens with prints on acrylic surfaces was my main objective. Pretty neat results.

Main equipment: HP inkjet printer, pineapple paper, acrylics, pencil

A Dozen Outlines

Contour

Contour drawings of the last 5 months (give or take). It’s been raining like mad here in suburbia so I’ve cooped myself up and took on the task of scanning and restitching a dozen of these observational drawings. I’m trying to drown out the sound of a man outside cooing like a coo-coo clock.

You’ve got a great eye if you can figure out where some of these places were. The general direction: Mississauga basements and the U of T campus.
