Christmas is near...

Which means I'm watching Love Actually.

PIXAR Production Internship Opportunity

It's been a while since I posted here, a lot has happened over the last few months - especially traveling and other exciting things! Now that I'm home and things have settled down, I'll be good and update more frequently.

Pixar Animation Studios in California contacted me a few weeks ago, saying they reviewed my application for the Production Internship and wanted to set up a time for me to speak with a recruiter. It was HANDS DOWN the most exciting thing that ever happened to me, I was shaking and trembling from joy when I read their email since it's always been my dream to work at Pixar.

Eiffel tower at night

There were a lot of moments I didn't capture with my camera during my trip, so I decided to sketch some from memory.
An, Danny and I stood in front of the Eiffel Tower for almost an hour while Danny was snapping photos away. It was so surreal for me, I just wanted to stand there and stare at the tower forever :)

Happy birthday to g-ma

An illustration from my documentary of Edible Arrangements

texture fun!

I did an illustration for the Rio Carnival, and it was sort of an experiment of scanning in textures painted from my raggedy brush. My sister sent me photos of the Rio Carnival and it looked absolutely insane with the explosions of colour, so I wanted to capture that with this project

Calgary, let it be spring already, PLEASE

Portrait of Larry

At the portfolio show, an ACAD alumni (Maddi Matthews) was looking through my sketchbook and was freaking out about one of my tiny sketches that looked like Larry, so she ran around showing everyone. Haha, I guess I totally forgot about it up til then.

Riding foxes, weee!

Michi's Friends Childrens Book

"Michi's Friends" is a childrens book I wrote/illustrated about a young girl who makes furniture friends. It's kinda inspired by the Brave Little Toaster, if the kid knew his furniture could move around and talk, haha. Below is the book cover and some character studies.
