This is a painting of Jenn's Grandfather. Before he retired he was a farmer/prison guard and he has a 100% organic garden....awesome. He likes to collect old tools with obscure uses. He shows them to you and ask" now what do you think that was for?"

I have been trying to explore working without texture in my images. When textures don't work they tend to look like a band-aid for a bad image. They also mess with the saturation your colours. This is purely a digital image. I think it's the first time that I have done this. Although I still prefer to work with non-digital media, I like how easily you can explore colour in Photoshop.

soldier called butterflies.

Hi all,

So I got some images in CMYK Magazine #45 - which is cool. If only I could produce some new illustrations that were worth posting.

It's kinda like you make your stuff and you send it out into the world. Hopefully, they will go out and lay little art\bird eggs.

I'm trying to get back to the basics in my compositions. (i.e. form, space and contrast).

This is another water image(surprise). Living in the dry west has lead me to be obsessed with water and all water related products.

In my critique for this project my instructor thought that I needed more of a narrative. I can see what he means but at the same time I like the subtle feel to the image.

photos

2008-12-10T19:51:00.001-08:00

Here are some of my photos. The first one is at my girls place - some mini atv fun.

The one with the bird was taken at my cottage out east.

The one of the cloud is from my old apartment in the NW of Calgary. If you look close you can see the olympic ski jump on the hill.

This is a symbolist themed digital painting. I have a need to screw with scale for some reason. Did it kinda from the hip.

2008-10-22T23:31:00.000-07:00

I tend to make things a little too dark. Here is a try at at color. I think I will do more of stuff like this.

this is part of a school project for a story book

2008-10-22T18:57:00.000-07:00

There was a larger version of this put in applied arts. This is the detail of the group in the center.

the figure in the foreground is referenced form a statue of a famous explorer

this is a character study. The idea was to haVe a organic wooden robot with the knots for screws. I still need to flush it out but I think it has a nice feel to it.
