This was equally a fun project as well as one that required some patience. I have only previously used pastels for figurative illustration, so it was hard to not project coloured pencils mentality onto this piece. I found myself able to do some details but not others. This particular illustration is a companion piece to […]
Just my take on the glossy magazines, the glamour, the end of the night… I have been doing a lot of sketches of different materials lately – marble, hardwood floors, now in the form of still life. I love this form of reconstructing and deconstructing paper through the pastiche of drawing. Execution took under […]
Progress shots and final for an interior architectural illustration, 2-point perspective. Graphite pencils. So far: 2B, F, HB, B2.
My review on the indie game, Ruins, developed and published by Cardboard Computer, has been published on Indie Game Reviewer. Click here to read! “Ruins is an enjoyable experiential title that, through its minimalism and focus, expresses the joy of having conversations. Dialog choices do no more and no less but to find out more about yourself and […]
My review on the indie game, Keys of a Gamespace, developed by Sébastien Genvo and the University of Metz team, has been published on Indie Game Reviewer. Click here to read! “For a game that presents itself as self-aware and expressive, I stepped into the game with high expectations of restrained storytelling and self-reflexive emotional scenarios. Unfortunately, the game appears […]
My review on the indie game, Gemini Rue, developed by Josh Nuernberger and published by Wadjet Eye Games, has been published on Indie Game Reviewer. Click here to read! “Just as characters have histories in these narrative-driven games, so too do the objects, the streets, the organizations, and so on. Everything can be seen through somebody else’s eyes.” I have given this […]
Prismacolour pencils illustration on grey Stonehenge paper, sized 16″x24″. It’s supposed to mean something when I have a eureka moment, yet will I remember it as part of my identity in the tomorrows to come? This illustration “talks” about some of the key ideas that have cumulated at the forefront of one of my best […]
Lizard illustration using a whole range of graphite pencils on a 16×24″ drawing paper. Drawn from photograph taken at the zoo.
An illustration from a skeleton in life drawing class. I’ll leave it up to you to pursue the irony.
Chalk pastel, Bristol board (we were being thrifty. I’m not sure why).
The wildebeest series. Multimedia, digital and traditional, onto sketchbook, 9×12″. I was driven to use the wildebeest as my muse by the strength of this animal, but also the bewildering and almost relentless regularity of its seasonal migrations. If there was something that said ‘herd mentality’, it was the wildebeest – but just as much, […]
I think I was a bit crazy as a little kid. I designed this city structure, level by level, complete with functions for the Amazonian society in each tower and area – barracks, horses, markets, and food courts (apparently). Then I used the rotary saw for the first time in my life.
In the summer of my grade 8, I made sure that if anyone was going to be stuffed in a locker, they would at least get stuffed inside a pretty box. Ergo, fantasy locker murals! Both took altogether 80 to 90 hours to complete painting. Inexpensive acrylic wall paints don’t give the brightest shades and […]
Dreams of small, sublime (sometimes frightful) things. First illustration in ink; Second in graphite pencils.
Here is a series of figurative drawings in varying styles and mediums. First two were done with conte and pastels respectively, from live model, in 2006. This one below was completed less than two weeks ago. It was drawn on capriciously beautiful textile recycled paper, which made the whole process very unforgiving, because any erasing […]
