Recent schoolwork..

This was made for my Digital Imagining class at Emily Carr, and the assignment itself was quite cheesy. We had to create a "self-portrait with a minimum of two quotes" and it had to be created entirely in Illustrator without the trace tool. Damn, after this project I am actually staying away from Illustrator while I experience Bezier curve withdrawal for a bit first. I realized just how time-consuming digital inking is! The final outcome looks really clean, and I am pleased with how it turned out. Final time spent: I dont really want to know, too many hours.


Final

Mock-up

Piano Lessons Poster

Over the weekend, I threw together a poster for Chris Arrific to promote his piano lessons! He originally wanted the new words over the old show poster design I did for him a while back, but I opted for a similar concept that will be able to accommodate tear off numbers. I kept the piano's keys as teeth, but this time they double for number slips as well! Doing this poster let me escape from doing boring design homework.

Fundraiser for Fundraisers!

Hello to whoever even reads this thing!

Tevis Bateman and I, along with a few other artists, will be a having a bike-related art show to fundraise money through cheap artwork for our upcoming bike trip! We, along with Sam Wade and Fred Tsai, are planning a cross-Canada bike trip as a group called Pedalers for Prostate in the summer of 2010. Through this trip we will fundraise and raise awareness for prostate cancer.

A majority of the money raised from sold artwork and donations will go towards our essentials for the trip, primarily supplies, food, and housing. Your help is needed to make this trip possible! Also, a portion of the money raised from artwork will go towards Little Mountain Gallery, as we would like to keep a great little art space like that open!

In addition to our own artwork, we will be showing donated pieces of artwork from various artists! If you would like to get involved, donate some bike-related artwork, or have any suggestions for the show, please contact me via facebook or btong604@hotmail.com. We will try to accommodate as many pieces as possible, but due to very limited space we request that you keep your donated pieces smaller than 18” x 24”!

So come on out to enjoy a night of very, very reasonably priced art, musical acts? (hopefully), good music, boooooooze, snacks, great people, and a great time! Tell your friends!
