Photoshop Disco & a New Sketchbook

1) By hand: I finished my 2nd sketchbook.. so I started a new one with nothing else but anatomical drawings:
I’m going through the muscle tissues right now and learning as I go I’m also referencing sonograms and photographs of cells for practice since it’s a very different way of drawing compared to still life.
2) On the computer: I decided to practice playing around with photoshop brushes today since I’m super rusty with this digital stuff…
The style: promotional cards for disco clubs haha
3: Processed and grudged up:

Note to self: I am overusing this Larabie font!
On the side: My sister made me the best xmas present ever! It’s beyond accurate, from the vneck t-shirts to my dirty macbook!!
I couldn’t resist designing another infographic. It’s just a basic map of where (some) organs are located on the body - relative to eachother:
And some drawings
I’m at my parent’s place, surrounded by tacky patterns and Christmas ornaments.
And of course, my favorite bottle of French wine that I brought over from Paris last summer, it’s still here!!
Update: Angela Davis Poster
December 18, 2009 :: Category - Designs, Sketches/Drawings
I was contacted by the U of T Student Union for a poster design commission. It’s for Angela Davis’s lecture, which is coming up in February
I might go through quite a few drafts before reading the final product:
Poster Design “Skeleton” (first draft)
Incorporating a mix media rendered portrait of Angela Davis:
And that’s about it so far..
I’m starting a new project: Visual Pile (there’s only an uncoded mock-up of the site at the moment). It will essentially revolve about visual communication.. in an interesting way - I have yet to plan it all out.
Also, random goodness:
So, it’s the end of the semester and I can’t believe I survived illustrative drawing. It was one of those classes that basically tore my self esteem into pieces. A huge chunk of the classmates were highly skilled in realism… whereas I was that student that couldn’t really draw. I remember going to the first few classes with Marta and we basically left EVERY class feeling like crap (for lack of a better word), doubting ourselves and our skills. Now that it’s over, I feel that we’ve all really improved with our drawing skills and most importantly: leaving with a clearer direction into knowing what needs to be improved Next step: illustrative drawing & painting.. never really painted full pieces before.. this will be the hardest challenge yet.

Monday’s last illustrative drawing project!! I referenced a male danseur photograph somewhere on the internet for this one.
This sign nearly blinded me while walking home:
Current music project: I’m working on a full length song using GOA, 2-step and oldschool break beats fused in with classical strings and dreamy ambient breaks. It’s 20% complete
