the girl with stars in her eyes

2012-01-27T09:37:00.000-08:00

Hi there!
It has been a while since I have been making art for not work. But I want to get back into the swing of things. Because making things is awesome.

This a longer project I am working on called "the girl with stars in her eyes."
It will be a short comic about a girl, the stars and a boy.
I miss seeing the stars at night, so they haunt my dreams.

Etsy store!

2012-01-02T11:56:00.000-08:00

Hello!!

Kicking off the the new year with my very own Etsy Shop.
Check it out, it is http://www.etsy.com/shop/amiima

:) have some of the greeting cards I made up there.
and working on something new I can show you all soon. Was my Christmas present for everyone this year.

:D :D About 75% done storyboarding a short comic I want to make. Sill be the first comic I have made since the web comic I made back in high school. stoked to work on it, even if progress has slowed down lately.

winter wishes..

2011-12-02T18:15:00.001-08:00

Well, we have hit December so I don't feel guilty about having painted Christmas-y things.

Skyrim and life have left me a bit distracted from art lately. Felt good to paint this. I am really into cutesy-girl things, so painting this deer on deer sweetness was rejuvenating.

surprise!

2011-11-09T11:00:00.001-08:00

One day Su discovered her insides were home to two little birds.

shocking. But at least, she won't feel empty inside anymore.

Been a busy week. Lost two wonderful roomates ( :( ), and am now trying to fill the emptiness (..in the apartment?) with something else. Tears.

silver-haired beauty

2011-10-23T17:11:00.000-07:00

Really wanted to paint a fabulous older lady. Totally rocking her age and wearing her silver hair with confidence.

Been busy last week finishing up some backgrounds for our next book. It has left me wanting to draw lots again. Been working away at a larger project hoping to finish next year. :D

Its Meredith , the Scaredy Witch.

2011-10-20T16:43:00.001-07:00

She used to have a broom, but she decided flying was too scary.

lets go to very distant lands

2011-10-16T07:21:00.000-07:00

So, there have been a lot of awesome things with dragons lately, so I thought I would give it a shot too. Somehow drawing a dragon just turned into this guy...

...and the drawing just went on from there.
When I was younger I was way more into having an imaginary pet tiger (or something). But this would be pretty cool too.

hrrrrrr

2011-09-18T14:51:00.000-07:00

not really sure how I feel about this but... been having not-wanting-to-finish-anything problems. So spent time on a smaller painting could finish in relatively small amount of time.

feeling a little dead lately ...not enough kittens. :(

livin' the life

2011-09-03T15:48:00.000-07:00

Hi there!
To continue on with my cat-related painting streak, here is a young crazy cat lady. What she shall grow into I think we can all imagine. And it is glorious.

In other news I gave my website an update. amillustration.com
Nothing major, but changes I will notice. Making it easier for updating. Mmm mm.

In other other news. Fan Expo has come and gone. It was great fun, and I am definitely going to go out again next year. Here are some of my leftover cards from the table this year.

like stealing candy from a baby..

2011-08-17T16:07:00.000-07:00

.. ..Well, he was tired of walking around naked. And baby's shirt and hat looked like they would fit just right. Cat was generous though. After some investigation he decided to leave said baby's poopy diaper alone.

Picking up prints on Friday! How exciting.
Also. I have been painting a lot of cats lately. Some might say too many. But I disagree.

tea time

2011-08-14T07:41:00.000-07:00

He just wants to be a part of the tea party.
Though no one will be having the tea from that cup anytime soon.

Just Peachy

2011-08-11T08:01:00.000-07:00

Woo. Been feeling really 'inspired' to paint recently. Now I just want to paint cute and/or awesome ladies.

Peach is very good at getting kidnapped, so maybe going for a walk in the forest alone isn't the best idea for her.

Trying to get together what paintings I want to have printed for FanExpo in a few weeks. Getting very excited for it. Can't wait to sit there very awkwardly at my table. D:

daenerys

2011-08-06T20:24:00.000-07:00

Daenerys Targaryen. From A song of Ice and Fire series.

Or sort of how I have been picturing her. Haven't watched the Game of Thrones show yet. Feel the need to finish the books before giving the show a try.

Brave Ser Knight of the Ladies

2011-07-30T07:43:00.000-07:00

This is Alistair (see it or not). In some part of the Brecilian forest. Because drawing trees seemed more romantic than some other Ferelden landscapes. Plus I am really digging drawing forests right now. Trees are pretty cool.

Now as much as a I have a huge crush on Mass Effect and Dragon Age. I am thinking I should do some non bioware game related art.

Plus I am itching to draw some STRONG female characters! ROAR.

girl

2011-07-15T13:46:00.000-07:00

Last painting before vacation time. Pose based off of sketch from last Dr. Sketchy's.
A Moon-lit babe with a knife.

treasure hunters annonymous

2011-07-10T16:38:00.000-07:00

.... if games involve finding treasure, I am so there. I have a little bit of a problem in this. collecting/hoarding mania.

finished the first Uncharted game not long ago (behind with the times I know). Well, watched the game more like, game-play seemed too frustrating for me to stumble through so Nik went through it all. Somewhere nearing the end of the second game now. You know you would really think Drake would learn his lesson after 2 cursed treasures.

So been drawing backgrounds lately, and found I am really enjoying it. Going to try and paint a few more. Would like to get better at it.

And man. Can't believe it is already July. Going on Vacation next week for my twenty-somethingth birthday. Time flies.

my turian dreamboat

2011-06-24T06:48:00.000-07:00

alien crush alert.
Garrus Vakarian, my turian dreamboat.
Mass effect geek out. We are just lucky I didn't paint hearts floating all around.

Orignally painted him sans scars... but really, he wears the scars so well.

..and of course, had to listen to this song while working on this.

sugar spice and everything nice

2011-06-17T18:51:00.000-07:00

my heroes.

..Cartoons are funny. Was watching the Powerpuff girls along with episodes of Adventure time and wanted to do a tribute.... Still have soft spot for these girls.

I painted the gals while Nik was working on a Mojo Jojo. Was great fun.

he eats babies

2011-06-05T07:07:00.000-07:00

I was so scared while painting this, I nearly wet myself.

Nah, Marcel may look a little upset. But really he has been lost in the bushes for days. Just now he found his way back home and realized he HAD left the iron plugged in. Poor guy.

Taking little break from fan art have been working on. To paint this slightly out of season little guy.

.....what. kittens, where?

2011-05-31T17:47:00.000-07:00

I am incredibly jealous of his company right now.
Sten from Dragon Age.. because this drawing seemed appropriate. One thing first dragon age was lacking in. Cats.

Only has taken me so long to finish because I got distracted by Heavy Rain (amaaaaazing). Work is no excuse(but games are).

Also. very glad for nice warm weather today. Summer heat come at me. I am ready for youuuu.

what a babe.

2011-05-21T12:05:00.000-07:00

This is how I feel on this beautiful weekend.

Complete with nose-drip protection.

oh myyy

2011-05-15T15:24:00.001-07:00

Really into.. alien dreamboats lately. Mostly Because I started playing mass effect 2 again.

Here is alien babe started long while ago. the lovely Tali vas Normandy. her awkward lovestruck-ness with Commander Shepard kills me.

oooh. also got table at Fan Expo in Toronto this year with the lovely miss paula. Never been to such a thing and really looking forward to it. Though don't know at all what to expect.

guardian of the toilet.

2011-05-06T14:16:00.000-07:00

This is Sir Prancelot.

He guards our bathroom and protects us from evil. For anything he can't ward off there is Air Refresher.

This job was proving too tough for Our Onion Girl (it brought tears to her eyes), so I was very grateful when the lovely Paula gave us this new guardian deity.

oh, Toadie.

2011-04-27T19:58:00.000-07:00

Oh my dear sweet Toad. You are still on my mind. May you rest forever in a place free of balloons.

pie!

2011-04-17T15:30:00.001-07:00

mm. been a bit of a glutton lately. (What do I mean lately..) Well to be honest my love and I have a dangerous collective sweet tooth. So we always get into trouble. Have food fascination. Spent all of college barely being able to cook pasta, so have taken this last year to start learning to cook (a little). Its a nice change from living on toast and peanut butter.

Oh, speaking of Pie, recently finished reading life of Pi ( I am so behind the timesss). Have to commute for new job so taking the time on the morning bus to catch up on reading. Makes me enjoy getting up at 6 in the morning.

blahblahblah.

the sweetest thing

2011-04-09T17:04:00.001-07:00

So this painting is from a set of sketches I made out last spring, that I have been waiting to get the right mind set to make. Different portraits of girls with flowers, contrasting different looks with flowers. This one is based off of a sketch of my sister.

ring ring ring ring

2011-03-27T19:28:00.001-07:00

Old rotary phones are beautiful.
My grandmother recently gave me this beautiful old golden phone of hers, one that I have admired since I was a child. I needed to draw it, if only to have an excuse to stare at it for a while.

Along with a few old clocks and a beautiful decanter, there are a few more objects I need to draw. My grandparents house has always been full of wonders to me...

how about a glass of.. wine.

2011-03-17T17:32:00.001-07:00

So dragon age has taken up a lot of my free time recently. May as well let it seep out into art as well.

Here is Fenris, brooding male number one. Enjoying a glass of wine, or mage's blood, or whatever it is he likes to drink. Not straight from the bottle though. Here he wants to have some class.

see you later alligator

2011-03-11T16:28:00.000-08:00

Line version anyways. Going to try some colour variations here. Planning of making little notebooks of this guy. along with a friend of his... mister crocodile.

summer time!

2011-03-05T18:07:00.001-08:00

The third of those b&w children's illustrations.
if i draw pictures for the summer it will come sooner. right?

gearing up for..

2011-02-26T17:15:00.000-08:00

Doing some b&w kids illustrations. Getting dressed for different weather. Here are the first two kiddos.

..also really into Mass Effect right now. Thinking about nerding it up and doing some fanart of an alien dreamboat. unrelated.

the cat brothers under the tree

2011-02-22T13:16:00.000-08:00

She hoped this would work.

After many attempts (unsuccessful ones I might add) to lure the elusive cat brothers out, she hoped this would be the one to get them into plain sight.

Why can't we all just be friends?

----

This is a warm up illustration for the next book I am making. Whether this will be what the final illustrations look like is another story.

oh my darlingg...

2011-02-14T08:25:00.001-08:00

for my dearest love.

the perfect match

2011-02-07T06:49:00.001-08:00

So this is part of my preliminary work for my next project. I am probably going to be in this phase for quite a while, but here is part of what I am working on.

Character designs. Oooh-aaaah.

Creating the perfect old couple is hard work. I haven't come to a final decision yet, but I know what I am leaning towards.

How to Catch a Cat. - Part One

2011-01-19T08:17:00.001-08:00

I have decided to start another book. It will be a while before I have anything really substantial, but it will be about cats. And a girl.

This is coming out of a drawing I did a while ago (I will post it once I have finished painting it).
Anyways it is of the three cat brothers hiding behind a tree where a girl sits pretending to sleep.

tea time

2011-01-05T09:18:00.000-08:00

So this is what I was working on for quite a while last year. A set of illustration and designs for tea and coffee packages. I really enjoyed this project and am really happy to have an actual physical product from all this time spent. I gave away a bunch of these as presents for Christmas, and kept a set I can use for my own tea and coffee.

As it stands right now I have made labels for the following:
Coffee
Green tea
White tea
Chai
Rooibos
Earl Grey

Still thinking of making a few more kinds, as well as a tea party poster with all animals on it.
But yeah. Pretty happy with the end product and definetely want to pursue more projects like this in the new year.

Also, happy new year everyone.

a winters romance

2010-12-15T10:45:00.000-08:00

It's finished a bit later than I wanted but... this is second winter holidays painting.

I have some paintings I want to create but winter always brings some creative depression with it. It's probably best to just work through it, but sometimes that just won't happen...

octopi are funny

2010-12-09T12:30:00.001-08:00

... Not that this guy would know. He has nine legs.

Winter does funny things to my brain. The sooner it is gone, the happier I am.

greetings..

2010-12-03T11:13:00.000-08:00

Oops. its been nearly a month since the last post.

Well, almost finished production of current project, everything is printed, just putting all the pieces together.

Also, have finished first holiday card. Maybe its a bit early. maybe not. Here we go anyways.

Been in sort of low spirits lately, but that isn't a very good excuse so I am going to force self to do some more painting.

More rejects

2010-11-11T19:11:00.000-08:00

Just some more rejected sketches. It may be a little while before I post anything finished, since a lot of what I am doing right now is formatting/design and things that will be up post-christmas. Been drawing animals I have either never or rarely drawn before. Still really love this Rhino, though I decided against him in the long run.

Cat Rejects

2010-11-08T07:46:00.000-08:00

So here are some rejected sketches and other symbols of my failures. Flipping through my sketchbook, I realized the last 6 pages are all cats. It would be a lie to say that I don't regularly draw cats (after all, cats were half of all I drew in my final year in school). But I definitely have even more of an exaggerated cat fixation as of late. It's no secret I am desperately waiting to have a pet... but still.

Anyhow, I have been neglecting the blog and website terribly and maybe even neglecting to create art. I am done at my job for the next few months SO I am hoping now to concentrate on my freelance goals and own projects. Though the big thing I want to get working on now I wont likely post until after Christmas.

Well, this isn't the most interesting post, but i hope someone at least will enjoy some terrible cat drawings.

watcha doin'? ....reading.

2010-10-21T08:26:00.000-07:00

A companion to the other book illustration. over here. Well reading is awesome whichever way you do it.
Is it too obvious I enjoy cats way more than dogs? hah.

ugly duckling

2010-10-06T07:31:00.001-07:00

This was for our weekly sketch blog. Goes with a weekly theme, here it was "ugly." Reeeeeaaally enjoyed painting this ugly sweater.

Green Tea Turtle

2010-09-24T11:18:00.000-07:00

The latest installment of my delicious tea characters.

the Green Tea Turtle.

This is a very important tea to me.

painting ADD

2010-09-21T09:38:00.000-07:00

so haven't been getting anything finished the last little while.

here are a few paintings I have started though.

Plan on getting the green tea turtle done this week though!

books make good coasters.

2010-09-03T14:09:00.001-07:00

Figuring ways I can work a little faster, also trying to make some images that are more of a vignette.

no backgrounds for me.

Link link.

2010-08-26T18:06:00.000-07:00

So, I have been playing the N64 zelda's again....

so much fun. Finished ocarina of time and moving on to majora's mask. Keeping productive though. I swear it.

loves me not

2010-08-21T16:55:00.000-07:00

So, trying to keep a narrative focus in these last paintings. It keeps me more engaged in painting at least.
Here is a sort of romantic girl in the city.

stealing is wrong

2010-08-10T17:59:00.000-07:00

Oh man. Can't believe summer is already (almost) nearing its end. Trying to finish up some of the paintings I have started but left behind.

This one was a blast to paint. And I feel like I learned a lot doing it. Which is definately the way painting should go.

Also, not sure if anyone is interested in seeing how things go from sketch to final, but here we go anyways.

portraits

2010-08-06T18:12:00.000-07:00

Trying out doing paintings from some life drawings I have lying around in the sketchbook. Not necessarily to create a hundred percent likeness, but trying to create a paintign that would suit his or her interests.

This one here is for the lovely Miss Stefenescu. Think I might do a few more of these.

Riff - Raffi

2010-08-02T15:41:00.000-07:00

This is my submission for the group show, Riff Raff. This is a portrait of a performer who was a star in my household growing up...

For Everyone in Toronto, here is more information about the show.

Show Date: Opening August 12th running to August 29th.

Show location: Pentimento Fine Art Gallery, 1164 Queen Street East, Toronto.

books are here!!

2010-07-21T18:55:00.000-07:00

Well hello there.

So today I just received copies of the books I illustrated some stories for last summer. How thrilling. The lovely team of designers at Rubicon did a wonderful job, and its great to see how this whole project turned out for them.

Each book I illustrated two stories in. Here is an example of how things looked.

in other news: tomorrow is my birthday. It is a lovely week. :)

Earl Greyhound

2010-07-06T11:48:00.000-07:00

Here is the second character of my tea projects.

Earl Greyhound.
I am having a blast doing these. Not sure if I will go with the classic green tea next or do Mr Bengal Tiger Spice.

In other news, I got my copy of the book Life of the Party, that I worked on the cover of. How exciting. It's very nice to see it in print.

xylopholks

2010-07-01T16:51:00.000-07:00

yeah i saw these guys in toronto today. Living in the city is great.

tea time

2010-06-27T08:04:00.000-07:00

Here is one of the tea projects I have been designing/illustrating. I figure I should combine those that I love most. Art and tea. (sorry nik!)

First up is White Crane Tea.

(and yea, the song crane wife may have come up in sketching for this.)

Next up: Earl Greyhound

won't say anything.

2010-06-24T06:52:00.000-07:00

Well, I don't have very much to say here. I have so many projects started, and not enough finished to post.
This here is a portrait (I guess this is a portrait) of a charming young man I know.

EDIT: Oh! and I revamped the website. check it out. amillustration.com

...

2010-06-09T18:54:00.000-07:00

Summer dress shopping. I always feel like I need to work extra hard in the summer just to support all the dresses I want to buy.... then come fall I never have anything to wear because it is too cold for all of my clothes. tragic.

deliriously happy

2010-05-28T09:42:00.000-07:00

one of a series of birthday cards I am making. Working on some other seasonal cards as well. Mmmmmm.

Got a few projects on the go right now. Taking a break from books right now to try my hand at a few different kinds of work. a traditional (woah!) painting series on the way, as well as more cards and some fantasy stuff.

I like you

2010-05-24T05:10:00.001-07:00

So it's pretty fun to take characters you created as children and age them a few years. (Boy and Girl from the Boy who Sailed around the World.) Just wait until I get to the Boy who Hates Everything.... who grows into the Man who Hates even more Everythings.

.....So, it's also kind of fun to take super silly sketches and take them to a finished level. For example:

it's love

2010-05-13T13:53:00.000-07:00

something lighthearted to keep me painting.

glasses glasses

2010-05-10T13:27:00.000-07:00

So, I made this piece to accompany the boys and glasses from earlier. It seems appropriate for the summer.

something a little different

2010-04-28T09:08:00.000-07:00

After spending most of school doing children's work, I did 2 pieces as a final project a little less cheery.

these pieces was inspired by the song Romulus by Sufjan Stevens.
It was a bit of a challenge to move from the happy energetic stories I have been immmersed into these.
Still, I enjoy doing these type of pieces as well and its sort of refreshing to tackle something different.

In other news the Grad show was great. Thanks to everyone who came out. It was real nice to see what we had accomplished over the 4 years at sheridan.

2010-04-07T12:06:00.000-07:00

Received my first copies of the Boy who Sailed Around the World. It's a great feeling to see it in print. For anyone around Toronto the end of this month, it is making its debut at Sheridan's Illustration Grad Show.

R.I.P.

2010-03-31T18:43:00.000-07:00

Was he really all that terrifying ?

rose up their noses

2010-03-21T10:28:00.000-07:00

Here is a sample of how I am reworking the story casie and liz.

The Mysteries of Casie and Liz!

2010-03-18T10:19:00.001-07:00

Well, this is just the draft but this is a new story I am working on.

Will revamp the illustrations a little in the Final.

In other news, the deadline for the Boy who Sailed Around the World is March 31st, so I am busy tying everything up with that project. It will be great to see it in print.

happy valentine's day

2010-02-13T15:57:00.001-08:00

....please?

decisions decisions

2010-02-03T11:34:00.000-08:00

so, I wasn't quite sure which sketch to go with for the cover of this short story I am working on... so I painted both.

And now I am not sure which painting to go with. I am leaning towards the first one. Stll not sure if it's the right call.

In other news, I should have the boy Who Sailed Around the World done by the end of March. Can't wait to see it off hthe computer monitor.

warming up

2010-01-15T15:11:00.000-08:00

Feeling pretty good about my last semeste off school. Psyched to get back to work on projects I have started and to start a few new ones.

Here, i just revisited an old sketch I had to do a quick painting to warm up for the new year. This has been a very inspiring week, from talking with the proffesors to seeing what everyone else has been upto. Just need to do more more.

douchebag

2010-01-07T07:47:00.001-08:00

something a little different for me.
wish i coudl say i painted more over break, but sadly... not so much.

The boy who sailed around the World

2009-12-19T10:01:00.000-08:00

..so here is a piece of an on going project of mine. About a boy who sails around with his cat. this turned out to be a pretty big project so I am hoping to have it done early next semester. I am crossing my fingers here.

moo.

2009-12-16T17:28:00.000-08:00

So here is one project I was doing, painting children in some kind of imagined scenario with an animal. There is still a little bit to do on the Tutle tea party and the griffin painting is not finished, but here is where i got to during this semester. Painting on found furnitures was definatley a great experience adn is someting I will probably do more of in the future.

2009-12-07T18:49:00.000-08:00

here is a piece of one of the stories I did illustrations for this summer (2 of 7). Ahh I will post everything eventually. been a busy summer. bzzz.

sunday afternoons

2009-07-13T17:05:00.001-07:00

Teaparty with the boys in my life. I love sunday afternoons in the summer.

Been really busy with co-op and working, so haven't done much personal work. will post work form this summer as soon as i can, but likely wont be until after september.
It's been a beautiful summer so far, though also one of the busiest.

Poor Miss Bear can't figure out why no one wants to be her friend. She dresses up real pretty and puts on her best smile. But whenever she goes to the tea party everyone runs away. They must be really shy. Keep it up Miss Bear.

so did a short digipaint yesterday. trying to get into it.
Been a lot of stuff going on this summer already, and i know it will only get busier, with me starting my co-op in a few weeks. SO I need to push myself more. hopefully with good results. haha.

oh me oh my

2009-05-27T06:33:00.000-07:00

Well. Haven't posted anything much this summer yet.
I have this lovely new apartment I share with Scott , and now these 2 lovely ladies as well.
They are great company.

I have a few paintings on the go. But if I don't get my ass in gear to finish them I will post some of my scribbles later.

it's not a hobby, its alifestyle.

Roller skates are amazing. if I don't get a pair soon, bad things will happen.
I can't stop painting birds lately. Hopefully its just a phase. Playing with line again.Kinda diggin' it.

Ah! Finishing up the last project of 3rd year at Sheridan.
THis project is probably my biggest regret, as far as how much effort I put in to it so far.
Its an after effects animation for our Electronic Media course.

Space Song by the Besties. Have about 10 seconds done so not quite done. (hah!)
Have most of the characters and images separated and ready to go though.

So close, yet so far....

branding project for school. trying to do something a bit more linear, I need to have more variety in my work.
Pretty happy with how these turned out, though I might tweak a few of them a bit. Each image illustrates a different benefit of bike riding.
1. Beating the Traffic
2. Economically friendly
3. Spreading the green
4. building a community.

giant self portraits

2009-04-14T21:43:00.001-07:00

Honestly, the whole idea of doing a massive drawing of our own faces upsets me. Just screams narcissist.
.... that being said, I did it anyways.
Drawing big is so freeing. Had a lot of fun with this, and really didn't worry about a lot of the issues I do when working smaller. For sure I am going to do more large scale work over the summer. Almost there... <3

all mixed up.

2009-04-09T14:38:00.000-07:00

so I've been trying to get myself set up for the summer. still searching for the right co-op and part-time job. but hey got myself a place to live, so that's one thing off the list.

I need to sit down and scan things. I also have some giant drawings I want to photograph in the next week or two. For now here is a silly page from my sketch book. Inspired by a set up in my life drawing class.

my love

project for class. We had free reign with this project. Had a lot of fun painting this (and frustration at the end, haha).
