purple

I can't get enough of purple/lavender/lilac hues it seems to be slipping slowing into my work. Also noticed I tend to create a lot during full moons...interesting.

Moonchild

Started this sketch at the beach by the low tide during the super moon.

Sirens & nymphs

Late night illustrations. Sleepy creations are always interesting

Tattoo inspiration

January'spot photos

Well January came and left quite fast and it's now febuary. So here's a bit of the moments I've capture from January.

back in school :)

new year, new life, new chapter- it's been good thus far.

journeys through transit

potraits of friends/ family

Vancouver in the winter

last year

here are some pieces i finally decided to photograph and post from last years painting course

just a still life of a clear bottle & lemon: purpose was to paint transparency

close up

 hah looking at this self potrait now i notice all the flaws and wonkyness of it. such as how my left eye is really close to my nose, and the left side of my face is huge...oh well at least im learning.

just a close up to show the various colours i used and more detail i suppose

this was the final project. we were to combine 1-2 (or more) images together. i chose a photo of a latin american native girl from a natural geographic magazine and a photo of a lake from Costa Rica. it was really difficult making the girl look her age- at one point she looked like an angry old lady. it was also the difficult to get the proper skintone. i chose to keep the background a bit abstract because sometimes i forget what Costa Rica looks like- it becomes a blurr.

oh and for some reason the last photo came out really bright- the expossure is off but i have no time to tweak the photograph. you get the just of it.

Sketches from 2011

Here are some random doodles and sketches from 2011. Not the best but this blog is to help me develop my skill and practice. Also simply ignore the poor quality of the images they were taken with my phone.

Mediums include: pencil, graphite, charcoal and sharpee

an altered mirand kerr

quick sketch of a photo of a favourite artist Charmaine Olivia

Here are just a few favourite shots of my lovely and stunning 17 year old sister from a random shoot i did back in October. forgive the quality of the images the original photographs are located on paul's laptop so i decided so save a couple from facebook :/
