Fluevog Creative

 Click here to look at my submission and description on fluevog.com!

Last week, I was browsing the Fluevog website as I often do, and decided to try my hand at one of their contests to win $1000 VOG dollars, a personal bio on fluevog.com, and have the winning ad shown in a variety of magazines. I came up with the image above.

Using one of Fluevog's previous slogans, "Unique Soles for Unique Souls", the ad that I made was inspired by fifties illustration and advertisement, as well as jazz and soul music. I was also inspired by Cliff Roberts illustrations. I love his simple colour palettes and whimsical renderings of characters.

Doodles

So, I've been thinking about pattern-making lately. Here's a doodle from a couple weeks ago, and two from last year that I haven't posted. It's always fascinating to see old work resurface for new purposes!

Discorder Magazine calendar illustration - June 2011 issue

This is an illustration that I did for last month's issue of Discorder Magazine. The first iteration was intended for a colour spread, and the second iteration was the final one that got printed in black and white. It was really fun and I hope that I get to do it again!

You can check last month's issue here: http://issuu.com/discorder-magazine/docs/discorder_june_web My illustration is on page 18 (they spelled my name wrong a couple pages after : ( )!

Can you spot the corner store inspired by the Hasty Mart on Main and 16th?

Deck Show! - April 2011

In April, I had a piece at the Deck Show, at Third Skate Shop. My skate deck was displayed for a week, and was accompanied by cyan/red 3d glasses that make the shapes pop off the skate deck. It took me weeks to find an effective tutorial on making cyan/red stereoscopic images, but I eventually found a way that worked best for a black and white graphic image like mine.

Interval Show - March 2011

In March, my friend Joelle Burch, a fellow illustration student at Emily Carr University of Art and Design curated a show that took place inside a small stair case. Thinking of my fondness for all things related to architectural space, she invited me to do a mural for the show. Inspired by the house surrounding the staircase, I incorporated overall colours tones that I got from the rooms, and certain pieces of furniture. 

More Brick Girl!

In my Illustration: Advanced class, with Justin Novak, I spent the semester really trying to develop the concept surrounding Brick Girl's world. These iterations of Brick Girl in two different forms helped to map out her character, and how a narrative surrounding a character's internal activity can be manifested visually. I plan on developing her further in the next couple of years to do a series of illustrated children's book and perhaps a "Polly Pocket" type tin toy. 

 Iteration 1: potential page in a picture book revolving around the character, Brick Girl’s interior and exterior world.

This is an illustration of Brick Girl where she is portrayed in a a state of loneliness. The blue microscope lens shows her interior design, and the workings of mind. Through this, Brick Girl’s emotional state of loneliness is reflected.

 Iteration 2: Blueprint for potential vinyl “polly pocket” Brick Girl toy.

This is an illustrated plan of the different dimensions of Brick Girl from various angles, to be used for visualizing Brick Girl as a three-dimensional object.
