Childrens Illustrators

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 04:14:41 PST

Drawing I did for the Children's Illustrators Society
[link]

This month’s theme is to 'Create a Deviant ID for the club'.

I wanted to create something simple, colorful and most importantly appropriate for the club, I wanted to express the groups social and artistic diversity. I’ve been playing a lot of Nintendo games recently (DS and Wii) so games like ‘Animal Crossing’, ‘okemon Diamond’ and ‘Wii Sports’ were big influences on the overall design. I based the facial structure on one of my characters ‘Cactus Boy’ I’m in the middle of illustrating his first book at the moment. For any one interested Cactus boy is the little guy spinning on my avatar.

Juggling Tigers

A picture for the group . The theme for this month was Circus.

I wanted to make quite a fun sparkly picture with cute characters! I've never been to the circus but I doubt they have juggling tigers, which is a shame.

can you see them?

can you see them? look
up, and watch them fly away,
fairies of the day.

can you see them glow?
sparkle? watch as they take flight,
fairies of the night.

AND YES, my first W.I.P. tee shirt design for myself.

this was my reaction to a comment given to me by a fellow artist, telling me that i am too "mediocre ( in terms of lifestyle)". as much as i would like to defer, i knew all along that he is, in some way, telling the truth.

inspired by roughly, my current state in terms of how i live my life today. not that i am not thankful with all the blessings that i receive. contrary to that, i am gratefully thankful for all the blessings i received this past year.

its just sometimes, things get really monotonous and you have to find a way to get yourself motivated to wake up early in the morning and to push through the whole day.

currently, i am in a state of limbo, confined by work AND freelance jobs and nothing more. again, I AM NOT COMPLAINING! Working by day and freelance illustrating at night is any artist's dream. imagine designing at your day job and then illustrating at night - the 2 things you love the most, done in a day!

but like any other human beings in the world, you wish you have something other than those two things that are constantly revolving around you. I know some of you designers and artists agree, right?

and yes, maybe i am not making sense here, and my comments is too long and boring to read, so, yeah.

Simple Pleasures

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:27:14 PDT

This was done for a school project. Trying some new things, a more simple approach and style, though it didn't take any less time. I did this at a really big size so now my computer is being spastic.

I think I'll make this a print to sell at AN if I get a good responce. I have yet to see how it will print out, but I'll find out next week :3

I had alot of fun with the CG, I think I will try using the style again for things in the future.

the castle you will never see

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 13:46:29 PDT

The queen´s castle. ´Won´t update next week since the very last illustration drives me crazy >_>

thanks to and for suggestions and the "Dah!!! bloddy +#§%&"-effect I had all night. Had to resize the castle, now it doesn´t look like a slim fast add anymore.

If you wanna know more about teh fairybook have a look into the journal. For those who have been waiting patiently: luv you all, thanks for support and I am trying to do so within the next weeks. you´ll get it soon >_<

listen to: "Happy Feet high heels remix" (for all those who saw ep. 22 of QAF... hehe )

this lullaby

In this unpredictable place of mine,
the cresent shines better than the full moon,
a companion stays longer than a protector,
certain things are better off being left unsaid,
i guess that's why I like to draw...

Happy Fungi

Thu, 10 May 2007 19:19:40 PDT

Been quite a while since I spent a lot of time on a vector artwork. I had to, since that grinning mushroom had been stuck in my mind for the past few days I didn't expect it to turn out this way though. At first it was just the red fella alone, then I gave it a few tall skinny friends.

I'm happy with this piece Enjoy!

Stardust Melody

Sat, 09 Sep 2006 10:34:39 PDT

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain..

Nat King Cole - Stardust
