Precedent Law Mag Illustration

Here's a piece I recently finished up for the wonderful Brian Banton at The Office of Gilbert Li.

For the law magazine, Precedent, it speaks to the lack of technological innovation in Ontario courts.

(I do love drawing me some hands....)

Thanks Brian and Gilbert!

Thanks Coupe-Mag!

I have yet to provide a glimpse at our wedding invitation, so here it is, on view for the first time. A lengthy process which has reaped some wonderful rewards. More posts to follow on process, but for now, please enjoy.

back to the (sketch)book

I've never been a diligent "sketchbooker", no matter how hard I tried. A shiny new book every year with the expectation that I would paint, glue, tear and scratch into every page, most often ended up being a very long to-do list. How depressing! I often looked back upon my art school years with such fondness, though, where we were forced to fill pages, were held accountable for it, and were all the better for it. So when I heard that Aaron Leighton was offering another one of his "subconscious sketchbook" classes at Nook Collective, I jumped at the chance. The most valuable lesson? Stop thinking and start doing, forgoodnesssakes.

It's been fun, therapeutic, and has allowed me to throw the inhibitions out the window

(well...sort of. Hey, we're all works in progress.)

Here's a selection of some of my pages thus far....

(hopefully with many more to come!)

be still my heart

{Happy February.}
