Airbrush!

I found the airbrush!

It's a gravity feed. It's a bit corroded, but it's working well for me at the moment! I finally got something done with it, too! I painted a fireman's helmet!
I was sure nervous about it, but it turned out okay in the end.

Airbrushing

I am going to buy an airbrush!



My grandfather had one, and my dad inherited it when he passed 5 years ago, but for the life of us, we don't know where the heck it went!!!

I'm painting a fireman's helmet, and two goalie masks and I want them to look as good as they possibly could be. I knew immediately when my client told me that maybe he'd like flames down the side of his fireman's helmet that I wanted to airbrush them like they do on hot rods. I know it's ambitious. I need to have it done at the end of the week. But I am stoked.

Here is the airbrush I am hoping to purchase on Monday

Wish me luck! I hope I can figure out how to use it in time :)

The cute model is back

The cute guy is back! To model my shirts of course ;)




This one turned out REALLY nicely. I enjoyed doing that one a lot, I thought it was going to be horrendous trying to draw an aquarium, but it was actually fairly easy :) And the colours also printed really nice.

Photos!!!!


From my new 1.4/f lens I got for my Nikon D50. I missed working with that big lug. I think I need to learn how to use my lenses though! Sheesh.
Here's some good pics from the shoots I've had lately:

Update!!! Also, elitism

Hello!


I haven't been keeping this consistant. Just like everything else in my life! Goodness. I start something I do not intend to finish. Sheesh.

So here's some updates from me. New shirt up at Snorg:


Getting some professional jobs here and there through word of mouth. It's a nervous process meeting someone for the first time and hearing what they have to say about your work. It's even more nerve-wracking when more than one person you've never met all have opinions on your work.
Needless to say I've got a bit of work ahead of me - but I'm up for the challenge!

It still tickles me to see strangers wearing my shirt designs. Snorg updates every week with new people wearing Snorg shirts. If you have one of mine, post it! I'd love to see you wearing it :D

Got around to finishing an old illustration. I wanted to make a background, I'm so lazy. I might try again!




I've got a photoshoot this Wednesday with a lovely young model. I hope to have some new interesting glamour shots to add to my pitiful portfolio. You should see those by the end of the week.

That's all for now folks!

And So Our Story Begins...

Back in classes!


It's already begun, the looming sense of deadlines and extra curricular work.


I'm thinking of moving my blog to livejournal or something more socially active. I feel as though I'm sheltering myself here. What I really need to do is create a real website. It's ridiculous I didn't start one earlier when I actually had the time. We create our own personal website during the school year and I didn't want to be bothered trying to remember how to code. It's a frightfully tedious task. Kudos to all those web designers, I just can't hack it. Pun intended.

What do you think, 4 readers? Should I move my website to a livejournal where more people can find and search for me?

Silly Sketch

Just a funny sketch for my University paper. The article was about the back to school festival they're having which has hotdogs, other food, vendors, music, etc.
