It feels like it has been a decade since my last post but i've been really busy working on my motion graphics stuff. I'm currently learning how to model and use cinema 4d, with somewhat success.
I also just came back from NYC; the Tim Burton exhibition at the MOMA was awesomeee.

Update: The shirt is already up for scoring! Link

Whazzaaaa. My Second design for threadless. No real concept here just something pretty to look at.

Here is the direct link. Link

A little something something

2009-09-17T07:14:00.001-07:00

I was working on this at work. Its just a test run for something i might be using later in the future.

A simple animated globe. Might reuse this in the future.

A much needed update.

I returned from China about 3 weeks ago. The province of Yun Nan is beautiful. As soon as I returned i got swamped with work from my T shirt designing/production assistant job, and i mean SWAMPED. <-the reason for the lack of updates!

Since then i got a position at Tantrum; an amazing motion graphics company. This will be what i'm heading towards but expect to see more illustrations as well.

Updates

1) This is just a very short clip that i'm doing for a website. I went for a very clean and simple look to support the content that would be on the site. The name of the site emerges from the background and light rays shine over it.

A little clip for a website.

I will also be out of the country for a few weeks. I'll be heading over to china: enjoying the sites, looking at the art, taking photos, and perhaps restore some dignity to my mandarin roots

When i'm not at work I drag myself back home and try to draw. I finished this one a couple of days ago but didn't put it up. This one is done in ball point pen instead of my usual graphite. It's referenced from a random sketch from an Ingres drawing. Enjoy!

Colour Sketch!

2009-06-21T10:19:00.000-07:00

I've noticed my illustration has started to take things and techniques that i use from my t shirt designing job. I have to hold back my urge to distress everything! Nonetheless here is the coloured version of the sketch i posted sometime ago. I'm playing around more with greys in this one. Enjoy.

New Sketch

2009-06-16T18:28:00.001-07:00

Lack up dates = overtime at work. But i'm back and hopefully will appear with more and more sketches. This one is just a generic face that i'm going to experiment with.

Extremely Minor update

2009-06-07T21:25:00.000-07:00

So..this post is a tad late but I graduated last thursday and finally recieved my BDes from ocad! So this in turn leads to a very very minor change to my about page :)

Colour Version

2009-06-06T13:55:00.001-07:00

The coloured sketch that i posted earlier this week. I explored more with textures in this piece. I might add a background to this piece later on. Perhaps a street, or alley way.

New Sketch!

2009-06-01T19:57:00.000-07:00

Been a while since my last update! I have been sooo busy at work; it really takes a lot out of me but i have returned with a new sketch. This one is called Animal Yakuza. Hopefully i can get this done before the graduation ceremony on thursday.

P.S. I watched UP this weekend. TWICE. God I love you Pixar.

As promised

2009-05-25T08:17:00.000-07:00

So this is the coloured version of the sketch i posted yesterday. Enjoy! I was sneaky and i added some more flowers

Sketch!

2009-05-24T14:18:00.001-07:00

To keep this blog and myself productive I'll start posting stuff from my sketchbook. So here's one that I plan on finishing in a couple of days. It might also be nice to see how it looks before I start colouring it.

E-Mail Promo!

2009-05-21T08:10:00.000-07:00

So right before school ended I was in this great class that taught me about E-blasts. I wrote this nifty chunk of code and here is there result:

E-mail Promo

The design of the E-blast follows the same aesthetic as my website. In the email I've included a little motion graphics combined with a new illustration. Illustration is somewhat already heading to this direction so maybe one day our digital newspapers will have moving illustrations!

2009-05-11T19:05:00.001-07:00

I've finally added an illustration header to me blog! It was looking pretty texty before but now that i've finished school hopefully i can give more and more updates!

Updates: OCAD grad link + art

2009-05-10T22:29:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all that came and showed their support for the OCAD Grad show! It was a new and positive experience that I will hopefully feel again in the future.
Here is a link for those that couldn't make it: OCAD Grad Show

I have also added an old piece that I did last year into my fine art section.
