Book Covers! And Guess What?

...Yup.  They're made with lurve! 

Contrary to popular belief, feeding your brain does 

not make you more desirable to zombies.  Read safely

my friends, and in style! 

All my book covers are available in the same prints 

as my t-shirts.  They are printed/painted on raw

canvas, and heat set, just like my tee's.  Therefore,

you may spill your coffee freely!   >.o

P.S... Doesn't the Nosferatu on the book cover

above look like Sean Penn?  Seriously...? LOL

Aaaaand, they also come in awesome Binder/Text Book

covers.  For now, that's all she wrote.  However, all

designs will soon be available as canvas place mats, and

coasters.  So, stay tuned, kids   >.o   and I'll try to keep 'er

coming!

Tee's Made With Love: The Finished Product >.o

 

Braaaaiiiiinnnns!  So, as you can see, my zombie tee's come

in colour on a black or white t-shirt, or black on white t-shirt. 

All colour choices come in both 'I *brain* zombie' or 

'I *zombie* brains' Is it odd that I found some of my 

zombies cute?  

For the Steampunk inclined, I have I *heart* octopus

or just a silver octopus on black.

I believe that vampire's should be staked 

through the heart, and not sparkly... Just sayin'.

And lastly, my robots. :) They look SO much better 

with the silver paint, non?  I love it when I'm able to 

successfully translate my head space to something real.

This was also a surprising big seller with the guys at the 

Fan Expo.  I figured gals would love him 'cause he's 

cute.  I didn't expect so many guys to fall for him.  But,

to be fair, who doesn't think robots are awesome? 

Honestly...  =P  

I survived my first Fan Expo!!! o.O

So, the Toronto Fan Expo has come to a close, and 

I am feeling so grateful to have had the opportunity 

to participate.  Being my first time on the other side 

of the table, I can say I learned a lot, and had an

absolute blast.  There were so many awesome people

in attendance this year, and it was such a pleasure 

chatting with all of them.  

I was especially taken by how appreciative people were

 of my art.  I don't mean that they simply liked it, but that 

they actually thanked me for doing it!  It blew me away!

Honestly, this is what I do to keep sane, but the enthusiasm

for my work was quite stunning.  And I am so appreciative 

of all the support and kind words shared by complete 

strangers.  It has definitely increased my drive to create.  

If for nothing else, than to not let anyone down!

Now that the show's over, I have a TON of work ahead

of me.  I've been invited to vend at a handful of other 

events.  So I'll a be looking into the viability of participating

in those.  I'll keep you posted as to where you can find me 

again. >.o  I'm also looking at selling my stuff through a 

couple of stores in my neighborhood.  Again, you'll know as I

 know.  Lastly, I did a lot of networking at the show.  So,

I'll be following up on those fronts to see what can come 

of it.  

Overall, I'd say the show was a resounding success.  So 

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it so.  Whether 

you were among those I coerced into working insane hours with 

me to help with preparations, or you were my awesome neighbors 

at the show who made for excellent company, or YOU, the fan, 

who is the whole reason the Fan EXPO is worth coming to 

in the first place. Whoever you are, THANK YOU for your 

support.  I promise, I'll keep it coming.

100% made-with-TLC Tee's

So, I said I've been designing/creating t-shirts for the 

Toronto Fan Expo.  Did I lie? Never!  Bear in 

mind, these are all tester tee's, so I was working

out the kinks when I made them.  However, although these 

are but the tip of the iceberg, they should give you a 

sense of what to expect...  I designed them all by 

me-self, too!  >.<

These are made with silk screen paint applied by 

a stamp I hand carved. I then go in and add or 

enhance details by hand, adding more colour as I go. 

The result is just what the title says; tee's made 

with love! And each as unique as the person 

who wears it.

 

 Yeah ya do! Doesn't everyone...!?

This was my first tester tee, and I have not yet 

acquired metallic paint.  So, as awesome as it is,

it can only get better.  >.<

 

 

 

So, do you *brain* zombies? Or zombie *brains*?  

For me, it depends on the day, and the person...

 
Now, a few things to note on this one. First
off, because my tester tee is ribbed, I lost a
TON of the detail. So as pretty as it is, it's
even prettier applied to the right surface.  Secondly,
although this stake-through-anatomical-heart
will be a stand alone design (note the placement
on the tee  >.< ), it is actually part of another
design, as well...  The other stamps for which have
been carved, I simply have not yet made a test
tee for it. Patience. I promise I'll share soon.  However,
first person to guess correctly in the comments will
get a free tee of their choice! 


Aaaaand, I also have a Steam Punk design all trussed
up, and ready to go.  I just need to get better pic's. 
So, guess what I'm gonna say next? LOL... Yup:
Stay tuned  ;P

Found in the Archives

I was going through some of my old work, and came across a few 

pieces I'd forgotten I'd even drawn.  And these are old, too... The nudes 

are from 2004, and the drapery pieces are from 2003, I think? The fact 

that life experience can so drastically effect the overall effect of an 

art piece,will never cease to amaze me... Not only in the sense that as an 

artist who's gained new skills, I can readily perceive how I could've  

better executed a project; but also because the meaning and symbolism is 

ever changing.  For this reason, I get a kick out of going through old work

every once in a while.  I even have an old sketch book kicking around

 from when I was five or six?  I'll post some pic's of that at some point, too. 

At any rate,hope you enjoy!

The nudes are two minute sketches of a live model. 

 All are: Charcoal & Conte on paper

Drapery Still Life's

Pastel on Construction Paper

Pencil on Paper

A Game Of Thrones

"Hello My Name Is..." 

India Ink & Art Markers on Poster Board

11" x 16"

As a Canadian, every time someone said "Winter is coming"

on the show, I thought "you're point?"  But when this guy 

showed up, I got it.  And then I thought, how funny would it be 

if his name was Winter?  Thus, this image was born.  This is another 

piece I will be selling prints of at the Toronto Fan Expo, this year.  

And still, more to come! ;)

A Taste of the Jewelery I'll have at the Fan Expo...

This is a hand sculpted Octopus ring, for those who are Steam
inclined, made entirely of copper wire. I'll be making several more of
this particular design, as well as a few others, for sale at the Toronto
Fan Expo. However, the majority of the jewelery that will be available at
our booth will be made by my partner, Jinxx.  I'll post some pics
of her stuff shortly... ;)
