My Poor Neglected Blog

Dear blog,

I still love you, I've just been too busy to give you the attention you need!

Here's my portfolio blogs I made for summer internships with some of the stuff I've been working on this year:

We're in the middle of final assignments at school so I'll post those once I finish them.

Cowhag

Character design assignment for Animation Design II at Capilano University.

It's Been Awhile

So it's been 5 months and 17 days since I've updated this blog, to say it's been neglected is a bit of an understatement. I've been really busy with school this semester and I haven't found the time/energy to update with some of the work I've been doing but I'll try to post it all sometime during the break. In the meantime I'll post the link to our final design assignment where we worked in groups of 3 to invent an idea for a TV show and to create a model pack for the show. I was in a group with my friends Mike and Gemma and we had some bumps along the way but I really believe that I couldn't have been in a better group! Thanks guys! We originally all had certain tasks we were supposed to perform, but we all ended up doing some work in all areas. I was sort of in charge of the design and look, but like I said, we all helped out. Click the link!

Model Pack

Overall I've learned so much this semester! I'm having so much fun and I'm so thankful I'm at Capilano, I'm really building a great foundation to build on....but holy crap my class is talented D:! I have a bad case of little fish, big pond. I guess the biggest thing I learned this semester is that I tend to prefer my design assignments over my animation ones. Also, for design next semester our teacher is Kenny Park so I'm really really stoked because his work is AMAZING!

More coming soon.

Final Art Project

Here's my final high school art project...

Acrylic on 100cmX75cm canvas

Haha I know it's weird but I wanted to try something different for my last project and I'm happy I did because I had a lot of fun making it. I think it's a pretty funny painting and I like how it turned out :).

On another note I've been really absorbed in the World Cup...I'm definitely proud of my Dutch citizenship at the moment:P.

I went drawing at the airport this week so I'll post the caricatures I did soon, I'm just too lazy to scan them today.

Listen to this:

Arcade Fire-Ready to Start New album comes out August 3rd!

Mumford and Sons-The Cave

Belated News

Belated News: I got into Capilano:D! I can't wait for September! Haha I should've posted this earlier but I've been busy with Grad and stuff and when I'm not busy I'm being lazy.

No art today, I'll post some soon hopefully. I'm almost done my final art project for Grade 12 so I'll post that when I'm done. All I can say about it is it's...interesting. Haha you'll know what I mean soon enough :P.

Listen to this:

I picked up the new Broken Social Scene album and it's really good. Texico Bitches is my favourite song on the CD at the moment.

Angry Samurai

Here's a project for Sculpture 12 I finished recently. I like making ugly stuff, let's me be more creative. This project has a lot of problems but I had fun making it and I think it's fun to look at too lol.
Sadly the bathroom yielded the best lighting to photograph this thing...

Listen to this:

Bad Dance Moves+Awesome Backgrounds+French Canadian Weirdness=Epic

Deux Par Deux Rassemblés-Pierre Lapointe

21 at 12-Hot Hot Heat

Not as good as some of Hot Hot Heat's earlier stuff but I still like it.

Brush Marker + Midtone Sketchbook = Fun Times

I got a cheap pad of recycled midtone paper at Opus today and I liked it.

Cheap art supplies ftw.
