Whoop!

Good news, I finally found a job. Best thing is that its at an art store literally right around the corner from OCAD. It’s part time weekends, which is insanely perfect for me. I start learning things tomorrow. I’m a nit nervous, but so excited and relieved. I bought a cadbury egg to celebrate, go me.

Last night I saw The Big Pink for the second time. Thankfully the venue was Mod Club, which is a million, zillion, gajillion times better than Lee’s Palace, which is where they played last time. We got to stand right at the front for the whole show. They sounded a lot better than at Lee’s and thankfully they stayed away from the seizure inducing strobe lights that they used for the whole show last time. Big Pink is one of those bands that sound amazing live, better than the stuff on their cd. My favourite part was when they did a cover of Otis Redding’s “These arms of mine”, of course no match for the original, but still very nicely done. I got to stare at their bass player the whole time too, which is not a bad thing at all bahah.

Today is such a nice day! And its St. Patrick’s Day too. A bunch of us went to get some drinks, but all the bars were full so we went to a mexican place for margaritas, which is decidedly not Irish in anyway, but we still had fun. I hope the weather stays this nice because it makes me and everyone way happier.

I’ve posted new illustrations that I have done for my classes this semester. I’m also going to add a design category because I think that my graphic design pieces are equally strong. I originally was going to do a whole separate site for them, but it doesn’t really make sense to do that.

Recently I’ve been listening to this crazy South African group called Die Antwoord. I don’t know if they’re putting on an act, or if they really are the way they are, but its awesome I hope they come to Toronto sometime soon. Here’s Wat Pomp ft. Jack Parrow:

So today was my second last day of class. For our final project we picked a word from an envelope (mine was moveable) and then we had to design/illustrate/compose 20 different images that tie in with the word. I am quite happy with the way mine turned out and I decided to share with you six of my favourite ones:

It always interests me how my digital designs differ from my hand-drawn drawings. I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not and I’m wondering if I should incorporate the same style throughout the different media I use? Hmm.

Last week I attended the Passion Pit show. They were pretty good, but the opening band, The Grates, stole the show in my opinion. Patience, the lead singer was smiling throughout the entire set and was bouncing along to every single song. She gave off such a great energy and you couldn’t help but smile back. After the show we actually go to meet them and take some pictures, but according to my sister, we all look like sweaty hell, so I will spare you hehe. Here’s a video for Aw Yeah, enjoy!
