I'm doing another sports painting ...maybe hockey or badminton or ballet.

Conceptual Process journal

Here are miscellaneous pictures from my journal. My concept is that the decisions you make in life are choices or happen by chance--either you believe that you can change your fate or everthing is predetermined.

Xmas cards/prints supporting the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre

I hope everyone is enjoying the snow if you're in Ontario and it isn't cramping your style too much. There are 3 days left until X-mas!
Please consider a gift that keeps giving: Xmas cards & prints of my paintings are available for $5-$10. Net proceeds go to the Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Centre.
Working with the determined patients in the Exercise Rehabilitation Program inspired me to do this.

Original Photo

We are doing this assignment all in greyscale, but lack of sleep does funny things to me. I decided to use crazy colours and add some eyeballs. This is by no means finished, but I found it hilarious :) It was made with Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Here is the simpleton, king and the crown. The crown has determination over the word intelligence on it.

Here's the fairytale:
Three Feathers by Grimm

pinup girl

This is from an anagram of my name: yellow Karen Chan = clean, lanky whore.
I was inspired by the Vargas pinup girl look.

Nested Russian Dolls

This is an asssignment for Conceptual Process where I have to decode all the archetypes in the fairytale "The Three Feathers" by Grimm and represent it.

Sheridan Illustration update

It's been a very long time since my last post! I just moved to Oakville to start a BAA in Illustration at Sheridan--a scary decision to go back to school for another four years with no guarantees of success. It feels right I guess. You have to throw yourself in there and just hope and try, eh? Here's some new stuff...

Art in the Park

* Bluescape, acrylic & mixed media (sold!)

Ocean Rhythm, (unfinished)

* Ma, acrylic (sold!)

my booth

I am finally uploading pictures from Art in the Park in Central Park (the Glebe). It was my first year there, and I was impressed with the calibre and diversity of the local artists. There was everything from photographic prints altered by fungus growth to giant robots made from metal scraps.

Thank you to all who helped me set up and/or came out!
