All in the Print

I recently got this in the mail! I've worked on countless number of educational material similar to this through the years but it's actually the first time a client was nice enough to send me a copy. Honestly, outside of my picture books, I only have a vague idea where my illustrations actually end up, so it's always exciting to see your work in print!

Here is my contribution to the book. It's a story called the Heron and the Hummingbird.

Painless Perspective

I came across this useful video on how to make easy perspective lines, so I thought I'd share it. I've never been one to go through the trouble of plotting out a perspective grid when I create my illustrations. I admit, it's a laziness thing, but with this, it pretty much does all the work for you.  

Iain McCaig interview

Really inspiring interview of illustrator and concept artist Iain McCaig,  who is popularly known for his concept work on Star Wars. The genuine passion for what he does really shines through as he talks about his life and work. I'm sure it must be a real treat to study under this guy. I especially like the way he describes digital media, that this "new technology is the traditional of the future". Definitely worth watching!

Bella Vista Elementary School Visit

Hi all! A few weeks back I had the pleasure of giving a presentation to the kids at Bella Vista Elementary School about my career as an illustrator. Well more like actually presentation(s)! I had originally wanted to give a simple talk to one small classroom of kids, but somehow ended up into 4 presentations, all back to back, in an auditorium for about 8 classes. By the end of the fourth presentation I felt my voice getting hoarse from all my babbling. Nevertheless, it was a fun experience and I'm glad I did it.
