Valentines Day Cards

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! Here are some of the cards I made for my own loved ones!

The first is a celestial themed Valentine for my boyfriend Alex. We spent our Valentines Day at the American Museum of Natural History's Planetarium, drinking champagne under the stars. Fun Fact: The back of the card has a list of our dates and it just so happens that our 14th date was on February 14th!

The second is a Christian themed Valentine for my Mom. This Bible verse means "Love is the bond of perfection". Also, my Mom loves birds and has even owned a white Dove. :)

Lastly, a Valentine for my best friend Reebs! One day I asked Reebs what her own dream house was and took note to draw it later next to my own. The line at the bottom is "Our paths will always cross."

Share Art Wednesday: Nathalie Ragondet

Nathalie Ragondet is a french illustrator that I find very inspiring. I encourage you to explore her blog and look at her very talented illustrations. I reached out to her over email a few months back to tell her how much I admire her work. Here is a quote from her I would like to share from our short exchange that I think is great advice for all creators.

"There is always something to learn or discover and it's good to practice as much as possible, to be curious and open to the comments one can do about your work, and don't forget to have fun of course. "

Don't forget to have fun everyone! :)

Microsoft Hololens

Good Morning!
Have you heard of Hololens? Its crazy futuristic madness. I made a mini infographic about it for work today. I dont know how to explain it so you should watch this video that will blow your mind.

Anyway, crazy right? The future is now...

Jim Kay is the new illustrator for the re-released version of Scholastics Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. Check out the article by The Guardian for more info. I have been a Harry Potter fan since I was a kid and have read all the books. I love his design of Hermione! Its closer to how I imagined her to look in my own imagination.

Sensu Painting

My first painting with my Sensu Paint brush! This is one of my Christmas presents that I finally got a chance to play with. I downloaded the app "Procreate" on my iPad to test it out with. I didn't even realize until the end that it recorded a video! Cool. Sorry its a boring still life.

Another fun hair and make up session! This time for my best friend Rebecca Linthwaite with amazing photography by our friend Jerry Ng.

Merry...?

I started to do this tutorial from Greyscale Gorilla but never finished. I haven't had a lot of time for Cinema 4D but I was hoping to make something and why not Holiday themed? The most interesting thing about this was looking at the words from an angle and treating the font like one cohesive object. With cursive your lines overlap to meet one another and with this being written in a solid "candy cane" I had to create that illusion instead of it actually happening. So far thats a challenge, but hopefully I will get the time to come back to it!

Portfolio 2014

I have been updating my work for the year. I made a new portfolio site and animation reel. Feel free to check out both! :)
Maybe I should make new bussiness cards next?
