International Buy Nothing Day

It's coming up - it's November 25th this year in North America, the 26th Internationally. This illustration was created for my illustration activism class. I don't often work digital voluntarily, but for this I did. Now I am having trouble choosing which to hand in for my final copy! The sketch is here included, and the green version is not really in the running for the final (I just liked how it looked.. it's different). The concept for this piece was the extremes some people would need to be driven to to stop their consumption for a day ... lock up the wallet and swallow the key!

In-class Doodle

I'm actually going to try to make more of an effort when drawing hair on my characters - usually it's a last minute thing after I've finished their faces :s I was playing with a stomp last week during class and liked the results ... maybe I'll do more..

Tickled Pink!

My proposal has been handed in (yesterday) and now it's a waiting game! Please please please don't turn me down!!

Vignettes

It's been a while! Summer school ends next week and I can't wait! I'm DYING to draw! Between final essays I threw these together from sketches I had done a couple months ago. They're cute ... I think I might make stickers out of them :)

❤ OWLS

using markers from when my mum was little ... for some reason their half-dried-out look appealed to me ;)

Bored on a rainy day...

Fashion Collage for Bob Berger (belated)

I've never really collaged before because I hate getting my hands sticky with glue :s but I actually had a lot of fun with this. The background is painted with tea.

Sorry if the quality seems less than superb - the original drawing was too large for my scanner bed so I had to scan it in 4 parts and stitch it all together in photoshop.

It seems patterned socks are back in style ;) at least, I love them ...

*There wasn't originally tape along the binding but the seam was splitting because it was sewn too tightly :s!! At 5:30 am this was the best patch-up job available. Too bad I didn't get a pic of the inside cover! It was light and dark blue floral paper.
