Second Annual Deck Show

Last night, the ILL'N Club's 2nd annual Deck Show opened at The Fall Gallery & Tattoo. It was a great night, and I was very impressed by the quantity (125 boards, ladies and gentlemen!) and quality of the work. I took a lot of pictures and posted the prettiest because I'm a horrible photographer.

Perhaps the only thing that bothered me was that our piece (mine was a collab with my roommate Laura Nisbet) was hung upside down. It was a bit too late to fix this when we got there, but oh well. Hopefully, it'll be fixed in the next couple of days. 

Because most of these pictures were taken when the boards hadn't been labeled yet ( I got there pretty early), I don't know most of the artists/titles. If you see your work here, drop me a line in a comment so I can add your name, and title of your piece. 

Work by Jenna Brown (far left, blue background)

"Hooters Gonna Hoot" by Rachel Shneyer (bottom)

Work by Leira Zamfirescu (far left), Alice Vogelaar (bleeding bird on white background), and Devin Rosychuk (green and pink skull design)

Two boards (the pirate and the creatures in the city) by Durwin Talon and Guin Thompson

 The piece with the snake was made by Nomi Chi, who also works as a tattoo artist at The Fall.

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO NICE

"A Deck of Birds", by Laura Nisbet and myself (colorful one next to the doughnuts). From a completely different angle.
Let's just call it abstract art.

We got a really good amount of people :D
Must've been the great art + the bar!

Not sure who made this, but I found it lovely.

My board from the last show, I regret not
retouching the colours :/ They could've used
a revamp!

Close-up for vanity

"Gentlemen" by Sinan Demirer (middle, with the pigs)

"Marie Antoinette" by Rebecca Rochon (middle, pink background)

I want to buy this doughnuty board and eat it!

If you're interested in purchasing any of these pieces, they're on sale until the end of January at The Fall, in Downtown Van.

A Deck of Birds

A Deck of Birds - by Laura Nisbet and myself. This is a collaborative piece for the ILL'N Club's second annual Deck Show, opening this saturday at The Fall Gallery & Tattoo. I'm super excited about this, it's so humbling to see my work hanging next to some really brilliant pieces. Come if you're in the area - it's going to be pretty amazing!

A Deck of Birds, por Laura Nisbet y su servidora. Esta patineta fue trabajada para el segundo show anual del club de ilustración de la escuela. Estoy increíblemente emocionada por esto :D Es un honor inmenso exhibir trabajo al lado de personas súper talentosas y piezas preciosas. Si están en Vancouver, dense una vuelta por The Fall Gallery & Tattoo el sábado :) 

Bent Fairy Tale Reel

This is a project for my Storytelling + Script Development class. The assignment was to pick a fairy tale and modify it. The story I chose is a Romanian tale about a knight who saves a princess from a dragon who likes to collect princesses and show them off (as you do, you know). I bent it by giving the princesses a CELL PHONE! I might make some changes to it, but so far I think it's looking really cute.

Esto es un proyecto para una clase de narrativa y desarrollo de guión (pero les digo: se siente como una clase de lenguaje de cuarto grado). La tarea era elegir un cuento de hadas y modificarlo. Yo decidí modificar un cuento rumano sobre un príncipe que salva a una princesa de un dragón que colecciona princesas para exhibirlas (como todo mundo haría, supongo). El cambio que hice fue darle un celular a las princesas para que pudieran pedir ayuda. Creo que le faltan unos cambios, pero hasta ahora se siente bastante bien.

Canada Line Project Development II

More development for the Canada Line Project! I don't think we'll be using these characters, but they were fun to work on.

Más desarrollo para el proyecto de la Canada Line (es una compañía de trenes subterráneos). Mi equipo y yo decidimos no usar estos personajes, pero igual fue divertido hacerlos.

Canada Line Project Development

Some development for an Experimental Animation project.

Prayer

I'm not sure this is what I think God looks like. It's the best I could come up with, I guess.
--
Ni si quiera yo estoy segura de si es así como creo que Dios se ve. Es lo mejor que se me ocurrió, pues.

Job Interview

Part of a project I was working on for Experimental Animation. This was part of a set of (failed) experiments, and might or might not be finished later. I think I had a pretty good story in mind, so I'll keep it (it involved KITTENS, okay?). Food for thought, I guess?

Esto fue parte de un proceso de investigación/experimentos para una clase de Animación Experimental. Quizá lo termine después, ya que estaba bastante feliz con la idea original para la historia (involucra GATITOS, por favor). Supongo que es una idea que puedo tener guardada para después.

¡Oh, los proyectos que nunca ven la luz!
