New show submission

By cherry | Published: December 15, 2010

Today I’m updating very briefly to show you two pieces that I created for the Dirty Show in Detroit after my friend Kristen let me know about it. I just submitted them now, so we’ll see if they get picked up or not. It was really fun to paint for a show that’s all about erotica. It was outside of what I’d normally illustrate so it was a really great challenge – especially for dealing with the male form which I haven’t really tackled yet.

12 hours, 12 themes, 12 exposures

By cherry | Published: September 14, 2010

. The day was to go like this: Arrive at Blenz in Yaletown between 7-8am on Sunday 12th September; bring a 35mm film camera of any kind, some supplies and any other equipment that might be needed for the day. Every hour on the hour there’s a new theme drawn, it’s up to the individual to interpret the theme and go out and take just one shot for that theme. Every theme has to be shot in order on the 12 exposure roll of film provided for the entry to qualify. Every roll of film has to be handed in at 8pm completed. Other than that there were very few other rules or guidelines.

Sketchbook Snapshot 22.04.10

By cherry | Published: April 22, 2010

Another three week long trip and two conventions took me away from my desk for a while! I was a bit disappointed in my lack of time/motivation to sketch while on the road. I’m going to put it all down to it being a stressful trip of sorts, but I plan to do my best to prevent that from happening in the future.

Much to the disdain of my high school art teacher I used to only want to work in pen and ink.

I Couldn’t Hold on To Them

It’s not perfect, but it’s something that helped me work through an overwhelming feeling of fragility this week. Life goes on, eh?
