Insomnia or just outright refusal to sleep? idk.

*gurgle*

No skbook this week. Didn't want to stay after school ... AGAIN... to scan 30+ pages when I could be on my way home to nap. It has been a strange as fuck week.

... but here is my first illustration assignment, which I actually kinda like.

well this is awkward.

Hey goyz.

Sorry about the, you know, neglect and all that.
I was pretty ontopofthings during my xmas break, then proceeded to get very very sick - The Spirit of Hanukkah gifted me with strep throat and I was feverish and unable to think straight for a week. And then school started. So, I am a bit behind on things...

Here are some doo-dads that, I hope, will tie you over somewhat.
I want to make a legit effort to keep my blog quenched with weekly updates, but my classes this semester are kind of difficult for me. I'm taking film and photography courses, so I can't just coast along on "good drawing" skills oh noooeess. It's a good kind of difficult though - I'm in love with photography and can't wait to make ridiculous BLACK AND WHITE art fag films exploring TEXTURES and shit, non-linear narratives, absurdist blah blah blah it's going to be good.

So here's a tattoo I finished.




This one's a work in progress, but it's looking great and I'm quite proud of it :) and proud of the client for sitting thru it so well. Owch.



A tattoo design I've been working on for a while. Going to start soon. Excite! Also, contrary to popular opinion I really enjoy doing colour tatts, meng.



Here's a collab I've started with my TARENTED co-worker Shwa. Definitely got a bit of a Trevor Brown vibe going on. Hope Shwa doesn't fuck it up ... jk. ilu shwa.




Here's a Ouija board I made last semester. I found the wood in the garbage, and painted it the night before it was due. I abandoned it somewhere in my neighborhood once I was done my critique. Here's hoping it went to a loving home.



I'm madly in love with art school, but it's killing me.




Finished my first painting(s) of 2011 recently!
Pics to come sometime eventually vague future like timeframe.
There are a LOT of amazing art events I am involved with this year.
My school is chock full of talent and drive.
And a lot of amazing people want me (?!) to make pictures in their skin...
I am humbled.

Also FUCK, PEOPLE! Follow my twitter thing and maybe one day I'll tweet something other than the current food I'm eating.

I also have a tumblr, full of delicious internets.

Sketchbook update hopefully this week.

the pipe is leaking.

Holy BALLS. Almost all caught up, just need to double up on pages for the next couple of weeks.
Here is Oct 16th through to Nov 16th and some other ephemera.

Some of my sketchbookpages I had to photograph with my trusty iphone because the scanner at work butchered them so hard.

Like all good things, you much click them and they will get bigger.






Uhn yeah. Squishy things.



Don Hertzfeldt fans will get a kick out of this.











Agnes Varda, lecture notes and my bag drawn with the shittiest pen in the world.






This chick was the fanciest girl on the bus. It was 7:30am, freezing, and she was wearing pink crocs with dalmatian fur trim.









Lecture notes are a common theme I like to explore. Obvs.



Pretty sick drawing of my foot and a fish taking a big shit.


This is one of my favourites. I seriously need to paint sausages more often.



I like tubular things and things with holes in them that squirt stuff. idk. you know? idk.


Preliminary sketches for a painting project which is elsewhere in this post!




Self portrait Marionette for class! My feet are really truly this ugly btw.



Hipster scarf fashioned from real life hipster scarf.



The resemblance is uncanny!




Can ne'er have enough.



Still from a stop-motion animation I am working on.



"The Smallest Things Leave the Strangest Ghosts"
For show at a fancy gallery.
Acrylic on some kind of surface. Shitty iphone photo, so solly.



Sleepyhead...
I painted this a long-ass time ago.



Delicious rooibos zombie. For art show. I did a few more but honestly I'm not that happy with them.






O WORD? Painted tabletop for THE CAMBIE in Vancouver! Yo check this rad shit out in person, if you're geographically capable that is. My super handsome talented boyfriend assisted w this proj. It is a work o love.



Cityscape. Vangroovy. Tall foamy beverage. Rabbits. Mhm.



Jesus christ fuck I'm fucking tired and these internets are lovely dank and deep but I have arthistory to read and miles to go before i sleep and.
