Here is a little sneak peak at a project that I’m currently working on. Using traditional hand-drawn animation technique, each frame is painted with black ink. It’s a fight scene from The Grandmaster, the “love match” between Yip Man and Gong Er when they get to know each other through the poetic language of their bodies - one of my favorite scenes. 

FILMARTIST Productions came by to film me for their “30sec film artists” feature that profiles Canadian artists. It focuses on the process of making hand-drawn animations.

Another fun collab with Holts (I love drawing portraits), this time for their Spring 2016 editorial featuring my illustrations for a personal shoppers feature. View online: http://spring2016.holtrenfrew.com/point-of-view-styles-of-the-season

This week I presented my hand-drawn gif as part of my studio research. Consisting of 40 frames, I used rotoscoping to show my Shaolin kung fu master performing the Xiao Hong Quan form. The animation was projected on a wall in life-size proportions.

Logo design for Aloha Oaxaca, LA based project of musicians Aaron Thomas Robinson and Brittany Graeff. The pair are on a rad mission of teaching ukulele workshops to kids in Oaxaca, Mexico and subsequently donating the instruments to schools.

The hand-drawn logo features a blue agave, also known as tequila agave that is native to Mexico, with ukulele in the middle. The design was extended to include “Proyecto Aloha” and “Aloha Project” for international use. Also including some process work, sketches and logo options to show the preliminary stages of design smile emoticon. I’m thinking the logo has a tattoo potential…hmm.

A watercolor and pencil illustration for WWF India, depicting the endangered Gangetic Dolphin.

In celebration of National Dolphin Day, World Wildlife Fund is joining forces with joining with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department, other NGOs and local citizens to conduct a census on the species so that’s hyper cool!

The Ganges River Dolphin is called the tiger of the Ganges because of its importance to the health of the river.

Excited to get the stationery I designed featured on Style Me Pretty! The calligraphy was painted with watercolors and flowers drawn with colored pencils. The wedding stationery was created for a 1920’s inspired editorial that I got to collaborate on with fellow Slovak creatives & photographers Peter & Veronika. 

Here is the Philips Male Grooming ad campaign that I just wrapped up. For this project I was commissioned to illustrate eight Canadian style influencers, imagining them with a variety of facial grooming styles. A fun collab!
