Electricity

Illustrations showing how electricity has been used to enhance our senses of the world around us. Made using light cast from natural sunlight and ink.

Skinwalkers and others

Illustrations made for a really, really tight schedule for an exhibition under the theme folktales. They were done in a 14 hour-ish sitting.. (minus the first image). Intense and quite freeing to just consider what it is to make a striking image and to use only two base colours. 

Hong Kong: Making the most of space

A start of a little self initiated project that started from my love of the Hong Kong and how the people there have made the most out of the tiny spaces they call home to make a living. Clickety click to eyeball over the details!

Land grabbing

A part of an ongoing project; originally I was researching our water consumption through the food we eat and the products we buy (virtual water) but I soon discovered that every sustainability issue we have is interlinked. These two illustrations about land grabbing in Africa and the people involved.

Inky florals

Here’s something I digged up from the archive, I did these at an internship which took place some time ago which involved designing pattern to a trend (very bright clashing coloured florals) that would be used on teacups, plates, cushions, lamps.. These were some of the earlier rejected designs because the inky – watery quality wasn’t what they were after. It was  fun and frustrating all at the same time and I loved working with the creative director which led me to experimenting outside of my usual work patterns. The one below is my favourite!

Bearskin

Illustrations from earlier this year based on the folk tale Bearskin. The story exists in quite a few different cultures, but what they all have in common is a man wearing a bearskin and not washing or shaving for many years (which was actually the reason why I chose the story!) These were some of the more successful paintings done to test out the mood and style of the illustrations. These lead on to the paintings of the nine skin walkers posted earlier.
