Retro Girl, Blushing and Fire Girl win Applied Arts Magazine Conceptual Illustration Award!
Included in a series named "Ink Visions", these works will be published in the June edition of Applied Arts Magazine, posted on the magazine website and included in the Year End Show in Toronto. I am extremely grateful for this recognition and excited to visit Toronto at the end of 2010!


New Watercolour Paintings in the Shop Section!

Click on the picture above to take a look at some of my newest work! I was finally able to get back into watercolours - my favourite medium that I did not touch for too many years. I am currently taking a very inspiring watercolour class so you can count on more paintings in the near future.
I am not selling these paintings on Etsy: drop me a line if you are interested to purchase any of my watercolours.
New Threadless Submission to help raise money for Perspective Gallery
This t-shirt design is made of 100 ink spatters turned into different characters to celebrate Threadless' 10th anniversary. The 100th spatter is left blank so that the person who buys the shirt can turn it into their own creation using black and white permanent markers.
If this design wins, 10% of winnings will be donated to keep Perspective Gallery open. Please vote for this design below!
