Anyone But Me Series Finale

2011-11-01T10:18:00.000-07:00

Sadly this series is coming to an end. I think it was just getting started, but hopefully we will see more shows like this soon. I think we have, and it's awesome. Let's keep it up! The series' creators have reached out to fans to help fund a final episode wrapping up the series. There have been awesome prizes, and now if you donate more than $150, you will also get an original India ink on canvas of one of the two images below.

Check out the show, and help out if you can :)

Hipsell Promotional Video

2011-08-18T07:57:00.000-07:00

This was the fastest video that I've produced. Just 14 days from start to finish, and the script was only finalized after the first week. But it was also one of the funnest projects I've worked on this year. A project like this can only get done on time if the client is willing (and able) to make the process as painless as possible. A big thanks to Matt and his team for making this possible.

Charity Auction Ball Poster

2011-04-29T10:01:00.000-07:00

I did this poster for the Kellogg School of Business Charity Auction Ball, benefitting One Acre Fund, wits, and wings. This is the third poster I have done for them, and this year's theme was "A Great Gatsby Gala" It's too bad that the charity/sponsor logos weren't supplied without backgrounds, but I still had fun working on the characters.

Flash Sketches

2010-11-26T16:54:00.000-08:00

I've been sketching a lot in flash lately, sticking to a black and white, (sometimes) minimalist style. Here are a few of the latest. I've also been taking some of the sketches further and doing them in ink on paper/canvas. These along with a few more are posted here.

"Paint Like That" Official Video!!!

2009-12-15T07:26:00.000-08:00

And here it is!! I'm very excited to finally show the video that I've been working on for the past 7 months. The hand drawn animation was done in flash, composited in AfterEffects with some additional animation. Not only was this a really fun project to work on but I'm a huge fan of Sick of Sarah so I feel lucky to have been able to have this opportunity.
Check the video out and let me know what you think!!!

Check out an interview I did with Tequila Bajo 0º, a blog that's made by women but not entirely for women. The topics on this blog are quite interesting, including features about art and artists. The blog is in spanish, but there are links in the grey box at the top with english titles.

Here's a link to the blog

Portugal 2009!!!!

2009-05-30T08:17:00.000-07:00

For the first weekend that I was in Portugal I was mostly partying, and for the last weekend I was sick and didn't leave the flat. But for the few days in between, I tried to make the best of capturing the beautiful sceneries. Here are a few pieces (not scans, just photos so some of the colours are slightly off).

Drawing for Support Blog

2009-04-09T08:51:00.001-07:00

A friend of mine started a blog which I think is a great idea, a place where you can share your experiences through drawings/stories/music/videos... You can also comment or check a box if you think the post is interesting, sad, inspiring or if it's happened to you. I did this drawing to kick off the blog, check it out here

Villa Wastra Logo

2009-02-25T12:40:00.000-08:00

I recently did a logo design for a B&B in Bali, called Villa Wastra. We are currently designing their website, the logo was part of it. It was quite a journey to get the final logo, here are a few from the last batch of designs I sent, the one on top is the one that the client chose. The second is a card/welcome sign design. I'll put a link to the site as soon as the site is up! :D

Baby card

2009-02-05T10:50:00.000-08:00

Angels We Have Heard on High - The Full Video!

2008-12-05T03:52:00.000-08:00

Last week Sixpence None the Richer released the first video off their new album, Dawn of Grace. This time around I didn't have the luxury of taking my time, in fact I conceived, carried and popped this baby out in 3 months!! I couldn't have done it without the assistance of an artist who I admire, Arzu Fallahi...who painted the backgrounds, GREAT JOB!!

Many thanks to the following for helping me out in any way, even if it was minimal, (every bit counts)...my mom, Kei Acedera, Jason Teeuwissen, Mario Positano and Aldines Zapparoli.

Well here it is, enjoy!!

new watercolours

Streets of Paris

2007-09-06T11:53:00.001-07:00

A few sketches that I did in Paris, done with pen.

Paris, Je T'aime!

2007-09-06T11:39:00.000-07:00

Waiting in the train station for my friend, I could have sat there for all three weeks, it's amazing how many characters there are. For any subway sketchers out there, the Paris Metro is the place to do it!!

The one guy sat outside Hotel Hippodrome everyday (well I guess he lived there) and was quite entertaining while I had my breakfast and watched him outside the window.

I don't have too much to say about these paintings, other than they are watercolour sketches, each probably took no more than 10/15 minutes, and I wish that I had done more.

Amsterdam

2007-09-06T11:33:00.000-07:00

Paris was getting boring, so we decided to go Amsterdam for the weekend..haha :D
I thought it was the most amazing looking city, and wish I had more time to draw and paint, but the time flew by too fast. At least I enjoyed the weekend, and here are a couple of watercolours that I did.

Italy Trip

2006-09-15T07:15:00.000-07:00

I went on an AMAZING 6 week trip to Italy. We toured around Rome, Florence, Venice, and Tuscany, and I couldn't have had a better vacation. The best part was that I could draw/paint whenever I wanted, and I did. Here are some sketches and watercolour paintings that I did.
