Proposal Design

This is an advertising proposal I designed for a marketing magazine a while back. They wanted something quite fresh with an urban feel to it.

Clay Creatures

I got a Crayola model making kit a while back and have been saving it for a rainy day. Myself and my boyfriend sat down and made these one evening, it was a bit of fun although none of the creatures turned out as the instructions suggested they should be! It also turns out that my boyfriend is much more artistically inclined when it comes to model making. I made the large owl which was originally supposed to be a sheep and turned out weird, as did the French mouse (note the moustache) while he made Madagascar worthy penguins and sausage dogs.

Fun fun fun!

Inspired by Jared Andrew Schorr who does some AMAZING stuff, I decided I'd try my hand at creating cards using coloured card. Even though I'm very far off achieving anything close to what Jared can do, I'm pretty happy with the results and really enjoyed making them.
One was sent to my sister and featured our family's mental fox-dog in Ireland on a surfboard getting a bit of sun, one was to my friend who has just finished her exams and another was to my boyfriend's Dad who just celebrated his 60th birthday.

Banksy Comes to Toronto!

Banksy made an appearance in Toronto and left seven pieces after him scattered around the city. A few weeks later and there are only three left due to people painting and spraying over them. The ones left have also been altered - a bird added to the policeman and text added to all of them. One of them is even protected now by a sheet of plastic to stop it being vandalised (ironic really). We went on a cycle trip around the city to see the remaining ones before they were gone.
