Website revamp

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 05:31:00 +0000

I gave my website a new look, and purged some materials. I think it looks better now!

I have more or less neglected this blog and Illustration Friday. I hope to pick it up soon...

When I saw the title, I thought of plush animals in a can, and then time capsule, and then it went further into time travel. The technology was created to preserve perishable objects. I am not sure what I would put into a time capsule and dig it up 20 years later. High school yearbooks are a type of time capsule, and I thought what my friends and I wrote in it were rather silly. Would we have grown when we rediscover our past? Or find out that we are in fact, still the same person?

I don't think I will have time this week, so I have a sketch instead of a finished picture.

IF - Enough

If you get enough balloons, you can fly too!

IF - Foggy

I think I don't know how to paint fog...

Art Walk

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:19:00 +0000

Art Walk happened this last weekend, I learned something new about being a fine artists: go big. I usually paint pretty small so that things fit in the scanner in one scan. Things don't stand out that way for fine art I guess because they are displayed in huge spaces.

I had a few doodles done during art walk.

My friends who sat with me throughout the event despite all the burning UV rays.

I also learned that I can't paint outdoor because acrylic paints dry too fast under wind and heat.

It was a wonderful event, I enjoyed talking to the people around me. :)

I used to think that I'm not into fairy tales or fantasy, but when I draw, somehow I'm attracted to the fictional world that's not real, like magical flying penguins.

It's been a while since I have posted anything...

new pictures

I originally worked up these concepts for the North Country Fair during my internship as a mock assignment. I think we agreed that they are too cutesy for the original purpose...

I got my Art Walk pass today and found out where I will be. Not the best foot traffic, but certainly a clean location :)

IF - Punchline

fruitPUNCH and LINE....

I finished painting the following yesterday and I'm quite pleased with it. :)

Fashion ladies

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 05:07:00 +0000

I have been sketching a lot of girls lately, posting some of the funny ones here.

I tried to draw the red riding hood as a more grown up girl. I can't draw wolves unless I find references, so I randomly sketched in a floaty one in place for now.

I noticed that this "I have to pee" pose has been used a lot on mannequins lately. I just find it pretty funny.

IF - Forgotten

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:22:00 +0000

I have piles and piles of notes and paper laying around in the basement because it takes too much effort to organize into binders during school year. When I get around to it, I have forgotten what they are. Forgotten knowledge? Worse comes to worse, I found forgotten doodles in the pile, and ultimately forgets the task at hand of organizing stuff.

I registered for Art Walk this year. :)

Trying on older siblings' clothes...

editorial pieces

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Sun, 18 May 2008 05:39:00 +0000

They are from about a month ago when I was at internship. Practice editorial pieces that are very fun to work with. I especially like the Vampire.

I like dandies. Devil and vampire dandies are great characters.

doodle

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 06:06:00 +0000

A doodle I did at internship when I was not being watched. I think my monitor sucks (NEC MultiSync LCD 1530V) when I see the colour comparisons.

An editorial piece I did during my internship at Woodward Design.

It speaks narcissism...

Grad Show

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:08:00 +0000

The grad show reception nights have ended, though you can still visit and see the works up till next Friday.

I only have photos from last weekend during the set up.

My friends and I were taking photos.

My panel.

It's in a photo studio, so there is sufficient lighting.

Are you an artist?

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:04:00 +0000

I look like this:

Somehow complete strangers, like the bus driver, random person behind me lining up at the Timmy's, random rapper in downtown, would ask me "are you an artist?" I wonder if it's the cheap foam core portfolio that gives it away, or is there actually a particular stereotypical artist look that I happens to possess.

IF - Theory

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 04:52:00 +0000

Theory says that pigs don't fly.

I went so off topic with this entry and this topic is so done to death. hahaha

Pigs can fly when they are going to heaven.
They can also fly when they are being abducted by aliens. You know, the UFO with a light that picks up things with anti-gravity devices.

There are no theory that states that pigs will never grow wings and fly. We just have to wait for evolution to do its thing.

Glasses on Canadian geese is love :)

school work

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:24:00 +0000

A guest speaker came to have a presentation about ethics.

I'm working on an adaptation of Grimm's fairy tale called Godfather Death. It would be nice if I can work on this full time instead of struggling to do other homework.

IF - Choose

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 01:16:00 +0000

Choosing dim sum...
I forgot legs.

Restart

noreply@blogger.com (Winkie) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 05:49:00 +0000

Lately I'm not drawing. There is so much homework, my brain tells me to do homework but my heart tells me to draw stupid things, so I just end up staring at paper and doing nothing. It would be better if I just draw stupid things, at least I'd be happy.

I hope Blogger stops giving me troubles.
