Here are a few illustrations I made for my digital media class. We were told to design a collectible artist toy and I decided to make this little guy. Hes a mystical space kitty with knack for fortune telling. Despite having what many may describe as a burning hatred for digital illustration, I am quite content with how these turned out. I had a lot of fun playing around with different pattern overlays and colour palette but don't worry, this gal has no intention on giving up the hand any time soon!

Thoughts of the wild

This is a short story based on the word infatuation. While on the topic of infatuation, I should let you know that the little deer creature is based on my new obsession, the Pudu. Look him up... you'll probably die.

Home sweet home

This is a piece I did for an assignment on "Guilty Pleasures". We were directed to choose one guilty pleasure and illustrate it. I naturally chose grandma crafts due to my unhealthy fixation on anything knit, stitched or sewn. This little guy is the product of no sleep and chugging lots of tea. After my first legitimate all nighter of the semester, I'm quite content with how everything turned out. I'm especially proud of my little diy rosette studs! Anddd HONESTLY What would a kitschy embroidery be without the wonderful "home sweet home" tag line.

Neato!

It recently came to my attention that I was featured on a few blogs during the summer! I was quite excited to discover this news and wanted to quickly thank Eat Drink Chic, as well as Wooden Toy for their darling posts! Both sites have plenty of pretty things to look at so definitely stop by and check out the goodies!

you are a dead tree,
your last leaf has fallen

woodland friends

A piece I did for my sequential narrative class based on the statement "Are you all right".

treasures of the interweb

I Thought I'd give you a little taste of the spectacular images that have been "cranking my changes" lately! There are few things better then a girl and her pet skunk.... and i think the rest speak for themselves.

long time, no see

Here are a few images I've been meaning to post for weeks now! The top two are some images from a zine I made towards the end of summer. The last image is a little doodle I did for a friends clothing line for children called Frou Frou Cowboy. Her and nearly 500 other artist will be showcasing their goodies at the Queen West Art Crawl this weekend. Be sure to check it out if you get a chance!

pretty little things

Here are a few shots of my new totes and t-shirts! I'm surprisingly happy with how they turned out, but it's kind of surreal to see my images on them. I'll be selling them, as well as my original pieces and a few other little things I've thrown together at next Saturdays Crafternoon and Tea. Crafternoon and Tea is a craft sale which is hosted by the lovely Nathalie-Roze at her Leslieville shop located at 1015 Queen E . I encourage anyone who has a soft spot for homemade treasures to stop by and check out the array of goodies. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Crying skys and hypnotic suns

I was recently approached by a hair stylist from Vidal Sassoon who was in search of a model for an upcoming hair shoot. I jumped at the idea of a free cut and colour and was quite excited about getting a few nice photos out of the deal. I'm still waiting for the shots but here are a few photos I took afterwards. I adore my new do and look forward to lots of free haircuts to come!

As july fades away...

put it in a bag

These are a few examples of totes I'm working on for an upcoming craft sale I'll hopefully be participating in a few weeks. I'm also planning on making t-shirts and some other goodies for the afternoon of crafty goodness.

Sweet nothings

Here are a few shots from my show. Sean and I set set everything up tonight and it went surprisingly well. I'm quite relieved to see everything come together and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I'm especially proud of the "sweet nothings" sign I made with my own 2 hands. For an extra little touch I added little hooks to the bottom of the sign to hang my business cards from.

pieces of me

Here are my new cards I made for my upcoming show. After hours spent at kinko's last night and with the help of my patient boyfriend I'm finally content with them. I think the top set would be neat for a mailer or a postcard possibly. I'll be setting up my show tomorrow evening, so keep your eye open for pictures of my little babies in the quaint and cozy moonbean cafe.

Thin skin, soft bones

This is the piece I'm currently working on for the show. It's taking forever because of all the textures, but I'm quite content with the results so I suppose the endless hours of pricking my fingers have been worth it.
