hello there,

You can call this a modern day scrapbook/portfolio of my work: collections of paintings, sketches, doodles, photography and perhaps some film (when i have time). This will be another creative outlet aside from writing (http://gabdez.blogspot.ca/). This blog will also act as a form of motivation to develop my art and to view my progress later on.
--don't be a stranger now, feel free to leave feedback/'critiques' :]

a demeanor made of bright pretty things

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 :/

inspiration 2

psychedelic animal

obviously due to my current situation, poor 20 year old art student from Canada with absuletly zero connections, i won`t be shooting any stunning creatures in their natural habitat. maybe later in life.
but this photograph doesn`t just inspire me to perhaps one day be able to take such killer shots (and by that i mean shooting the animal with a camera and not a gun) but for paintings. hmm i`ve got some ideas stirring round my head now. get ready for some fierce animals against vibrant backrounds. someone hold me accountable for this project cause i`ve been pretty lazy lately, but it`s a new year and a new blank slate to start creating again.

Fairy?

Re-edited photos from the shoot of Chelsea the dancer.

It was when I edited them on apps on my phone that I got the idea for the mirror image on a couple posts back- I personally prefer the one via my phone than the one done on my computer. Also the eerie ones gave me an idea for another shoot. I just need to find away to layer photos like that.

Creativity on the go

Photos from November and December via my phone.

1) shot while on the skytrain heading to a concert
2) brilliant idea by a talent ig'er called topknotknack. It involved having a photo of your bun with any other photo underneath it
3) a November sunset, from another world.
4) steam mystery

having troubles telling how i feel, but i can dance, dance, dance

a shoot i did a week or two ago with an old highschool aquaintance.
unfortunately for us the day we finally did the shoot was extremely cold, windy and pouring rain. at the end of the shoot my hands were swollen and red and completely numb i think i almost cried cause i was so cold. and im supposed to be canadian...

"purple clouds of feathers"

A little photo shoot i did of the lovely miss Sarah about a month ago. She was such a good sport doing this on such short of a notice (needed photo's to submit for my portfolio) in addition to wearing shorts in the winter. that's a true canadian right there. 
It was a fun little shoot (and fairly quick) shoot, and i plan to do more. hopefully with more time.
