baron zen at the mall

2008-08-02T13:21:00.002-04:00

This illustration is for pound magazine. The project was to recreate the cover Baron Zen at the mall.
I bought the cd before I start drawing it. The album sounded like an experiment and a collaboration between 2 artists. Arber (junior art director) and I decided to have a bunch of construction worker aka (peanut butter wolf and sweet steve)working together to create this robot aka (album cover).

2008-01-18T12:01:00.001-05:00

This is a poster for a film jam. I used a different medium for this piece. Instead of using acrylic paint I use watercolor. I like it better because it gives out more contract than the acrylic pieces.
anyway the jam will be starting at feb 29 Everyone is welcome. Its going to be lots of fun.

enjoy

gossip

2007-09-14T02:34:00.000-04:00

This piece is call "gossip". I used this piece for a competition for OECD. A company that focus on environmental and social issues.

2007-08-20T19:39:00.001-04:00

I add the shadow and lighten up the shoes on this images just so the bob dylan would give out a better contrast of the images.

bobdylan

2007-08-20T17:44:00.001-04:00

This is a portrait of Bob Dylan. Many people thinks that Dylan's music are folk but in his music there are many philosophical thoughts in his lyrics. Such as political issues, cultural changes, racism, and theoretical ideas. Bob hated when people thinks that his music are just plain folk songs. I illustrate him playing his guitar with an anger on his face because the chickens are dancing in folk music, which is not what he wanted.

bowie2

2007-07-30T19:21:00.001-04:00

This is another version of bowie but in different colour background I figure this color background can contrast bowie more to the viewer

david bowie

2007-07-30T18:53:00.000-04:00

This is a portrait of david bowie.
I combine 2 of his characters from his past 2 album together. I combine his character major tom and Ziggy stardust together. The animals are representation of spiritual and welcome for david bowie's landing to earth.

jimmy hendrix

2007-06-24T17:09:00.000-04:00

This is a portrait of jimmy Hendrix.
I want to portrait jimmy as a Buddhist god.
I through in many different graphic in this image such as the paisley patterns in the back and the deer at the bottom.
This one took me a while to think it through.... probably because I was getting sick of the splashing effect.
well anyway enjoy

2007-05-31T15:50:00.001-04:00

This piece again is on my new topic "kill the dead brand"
This character's name is speedee. He was well known as the first drive thru mascot for Mcdonald until the "M" came in and took over during the 1960. The characters at the background are the actual illustration of him playing sport being active and cheerful in the past. The character in the middle is the present time of him. I want to illustrate him smoking a cigarette and looking down upon himself. I want to kill this character not through physical but emotionally. He is having a smoke because he was fire from mcdonald and now he have nothing to do except eat big mac and drink coke.

2007-05-28T20:58:00.001-04:00

I am done
I like this one a lot

2007-05-28T00:33:00.000-04:00

I didn't like the one before becuz it looks like the kid and dad was killed because of the splash effect.
so I switch it up to the far top left trying to make it lookl ike a the sun.
I don't know but if its anything I am thinking of taking the splash off

2007-05-28T00:03:00.001-04:00

I illustrate this for air Canada's competition award.
They are having their 70th anniversary.
I want to capture a family moment in this illustration . The kid raise his arm pretending to throw an airplane with his imagination. The planes in the background are illustrations of air canada's planes.
I also want to advertise Toronto, thats why I illustrate the C.N tower at the bottom left of the image.
