Beast project for Harvey Chan's media studio class. I'm happy with parts of this painting, but other bits I'm definitely not a huge fan of. I like the wolfman, though. He's a keeper. This was done in oils on BFK Rives.
Ps, please look up Harvey Chan on Google. His work is amazing.



These two were also for media studio, The project theme was "Man and Machine". This was Harvey's favourite project over the entire semester, and is based on my silly doodle style. Acrylic and collage.

This is another non-toxic print project. It's a lino-cut reduction print, and I'm fairly happy with it. The inks we were using are soy-based, and these inks dry very slowly, and remain slightly tacky for quite some time after printing. These prints were finished in January, and still feel like they haven't cured entirely.

Since I've been neglecting it...

I have lots of new work, so I'm going to post a bunch today. Brace yourself for several updates.




These four fishy little images are a series of tiny mezzotints (the largest is a three inch square, the smallest a i.5 inch square), done for non-toxic print. Printing such small plates was nice, as wiping them took very little time.

Apologies.

I'm sorry good people.
It's been a long time. I'm aware of that.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks, and I've been a little squished for time. And my blogging has suffered. I'm sorry for that. I do, however, have a bundle of work that I can now post. I hope you'll forgive me.


These are some process shots of my bronze castings.



These are two of the three finished sculptures. Bronze casting is quite an intensive process, but it was definitely worth the time and effort. I hope to do more of it in the future!

Mould finished

Burned out, repaired, and all set for the pour, here is my bronze mould in all its amorphous splendour. Soon, there will be lovely bronze sculptures to show you. Keep in mind soon may bea number of weeks, though.


These are images of the rough (pictured first) and the final product for a dry media project in Media Studio. Ballpoint pen isn't exactly dry, but it's close enough and the professor listed it under usable media, so I decided to run with it. The blotches of bloody-looking gunk are in crayon.

Perhaps I'm just procrastinating. I'm a student, after all, and I hear we tend to do that a fair bit. It's only a little counter-productive, I swear. But I come bearing artwork. And I swear I'll be brief. Really. Then it's back to studying.

This is an intaglio print I've been madly working on for the past week. I printed an edition of 40 of this etching, due for a print exchange/portfolio tomorrow. I'm pretty happy with the final print, and I'm happy that the edition is finally done so I can move onto other looming projects.
I have other work to show you, but I don't want to wait for the images to load at this time, so you'll just have to wait! Sorry! Please enjoy the etching!

At long last

Yes, it's been a while. Yes, I am truly, deeply apologetic to you, my dedicated viewers and/or readers. I realize that you'd probably all be a lot more dedicated if I was more regular, and maybe a little more committed. It's shameful, I know. Well, never again will I leave you good people hanging for so long. I will do my utmost to post lovely updates with more regularity, and if I don't, you have my permission to spam me with messages calling me a lazy, no-good irresponsible blogger until I post you some lovely new art.
On the plus side, while I've been overlooking by regular blogging, I have been creating a whole bunch of stuff that resembles artwork in my various classes at the OCAD. Without further ado, I shall let the images speak for themselves. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The final version for the "Magician's Funeral" media studio project.

Skeletal drawing for anatomy class, 1 of 2.

This will, in the relatively near future, be getting cast in bronze! look for it here, people!
