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... ;)

A Few of the prints I'll be offering at the 2012 Toronto Fan Expo...

 

 'Dryad' - Ink & Art Markers on Paper, 11" x 14"

Close up of the Dryad, herself.

Because of the grain of the paper she didn't photograph too well, 

but you get the idea.  This piece is one of a few fantasy prints I'll be offering.

 'So Long, Farewell/SteamGirl' - Pencil on Paper, 11" x 14"

 Close up

To be honest, I haven't decided yet if she's done, but I'll post 

pics if I make changes.  For now, she can give you an idea

of what my Steampunk series will be like.  I'll be creating

several Steam themed pieces for the Fan Expo, this year.

It's a genre I've fallen head over heels for. Oh the possibilities!

 'Beating a Dead Tauntaun' - Ink & Art Markers on Paper, 11" x 14"

Okay, so my sense of humour's twisted...  But you laughed,

which means yours is too!  I know George Lucas finally 

'stepped down', but I don't know how long that will last.

The fact remains that no one can beat a dead horse like Lucas.

So there you are, and I have several more twistedly funny 

pop culture pieces in the works.   

Aside from these pieces, I've also created and carved my 

t-shirt/book cover designs.  However, as I have not yet 

printed them onto T's, you'll have to be patient.

No worries, when I do, you'll be the first to know!

So, stay tuned! ;)

Hugo Boss Mural

 Located at 333 Adelaide Street, Toronto CA

May 2012

Very Pop Art looking at this early stage.

He actually reminds me of Drew Carey here.

 

'Tis me! Working with a spray gun, the daddy 

of all airbrushes.  This is a new tool for me, 

so it's been amazing having the opportunity 

to learn from artists who have been painting 

murals with spray guns for close to 30 years.

The completed mural, with a sense of scale.

Art Makes Me Fall Off The Face Of The Earth. Sometimes...

Okay, so it's been a little while since I last posted.  My apologies!

I've been a busy girl.  For starters, I was working on a new mural 

with Willam Lazos.  This time, a large Hugo Boss ad located at 

333 Adelaide, Toronto CA.  I will post photo's momentarily.  

I've also been working on some of the art pieces I'll be selling

at the Toronto Fan Expo, at the end of August.  I have my work 

cut out for me!  I've decided I will be selling hand painted t-shirts,

several art prints, hand painted/hand made book covers, jewelery, 

buttons, and other awesome misc. items.  I'm ridiculously excited!

Pic's of items completed, thus far, to follow. :)

If you are unable to attend the Toronto Fan Expo, but would like 

a print or t-shirt, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail at 

artisticnrg@hotmail.com. Cost for each is $20 + S&H.
