Otters, chickadees and Birch trees

A continuation of British Columbia and its' animal residents. These are the last few of the sketches that I drew for a commissioned book.  I believe I was the most successful with the otters. They were also the most fun to draw.

Minus drawing leavings I love drawing Birch trees. They have the most interesting bark.

A moment between chickadees

Look on oh lil otter! The world is your oyster.

My most successful sketch out of the bunch.

A Tuscan Holiday

This Victoria long weekend I decided to break my no starting projects rule and started a new project. Fortunately I managed to complete it and another project the same weekend so SCORE!
This piece spurred from my other project which was mainly decoupage related. I decided to play around with decoupaging magazine clippings onto a cheap canvas and with the use of ink and acrylic paint create a setting or scene.
Overall I'm satisfied with the results. 

Making Letters Move

The images are the product of an assignment I did in typography class. The purpose of the assignment was to create movement with type that described specific words. Students were to apply their knowledge of the six organizing principles of design; radiation, opposition, transition, direction, repetition and proportion. The use of kerning was encouraged while the use in color was not.

Overall, I had alot of fun with the assignment. It was interesting to see and hear the creative process which some classmates used for this assignment. For example, to image search the word rage on google is not recommended.
