Painting, drawing, illustration, animation, and even “visual poetry” – it was all fair game in this 24-hour challenge leading up to my 24th birthday. This is what I created.
I’ve depicted a male angel turning back, almost to look over his shoulder. He’s walking even though he once flew. Unlike times before, he must now be conscious of his survival.
I’m both a visual artist and a graphic designer.
This is a quick graphic created for an upcoming improv show featuring three different narrative sets.
This is based on a photograph I took at Crescent Beach in BC.
When I think about life’s big questions, I’m comfortable with uncertainty.
I find it funny/annoying/perplexing that people assume things about animals and what they can feel. Sometimes, it’s “human pretentiousness.”
This is probably the most “fine art-sy” piece. I used acrylic paints along with some acrylic markers. The initial aim was to show someone laughing. I think the color palette suggests something different.
This is what it looked like outside my window.
I put the time of the photo in the top-right corner.
Looking at this photo reminds me of early morning serenity.
I used to identify as “pro-feminist” until someone important changed my mind.
The idea here was to show tangible things a man can do as a feminist.
I’d like to take this idea further into a campaign or a challenge.
At 24 years old, I don’t know a lot. I listed a few examples. And yet, I feel as if I know the important answers.
I needed to do something regarding the recent events in France.
I liked the idea of using one single ‘hand gesture’ that is used across all cultures, connecting us all.
There’s too much negative news around.
I downloaded a program that tracks my mouse movement and let it run while I was working on some digital illustrations from 3:45am to 4:45am. After I got the results, I modified it a bit to add some more visual interest. This is the result.
I love the image of a woman with no real face. I think University is a time where we explore ideas, we have conversations, we stress out, and somehow, by the end, we have a better sense of who we are.
This is what it looked like outside my window.
I put the time of the photo in the top-right corner.
Looking at this photo reminds me of winter silence.
This is a tongue-in-cheek design that very accurately describes my feelings for about 23 of the 24 hours of the project.
By the time 10pm rolled around, I was exhausted. I remembered how fun it was to draw in elementary school, to create worlds, to design characters, and most of all, to depict kick-ass weapons.
This is a stencil I made based on an earlier illustration. It doesn’t show very well in the photo, but it’s done on a beautiful yellow textured paper. It’s part 1 of a 2-part series.
And this is part 2.
I illustrated an eye-mouth-design that, when repeated, creates an infinite pattern of … slight creepiness.
This is my second collage piece. I love the meanings you can find from putting various images together. It’s quite a fun game.
I drew from my imagination, building the drawing one brick at a time. One character led to another and before I knew it, I had a Christmas scene with a family, some pets and some cool stockings.
I used a fork over layers of acrylic paint to create an abstract work. I just thought the collection of 24 artworks wouldn’t be complete without one.
I haven’t decided whether to show it or not.
