ORGANIZED

So I spent last couple of days drawing since it’s been such a beautiful weather outside ( whoever is or has ever been in vancouver knows what im talking about. ) I have had this obsession about things organized. I only like looking at photographs or drawings of things organized neatly. Not what my table looks like on a normal day. Quite the opposite.

So the conclusion to this is: This is how my table should look like

Animal Faces

I was working on this personal project – Series of animal portraits. Portrait for centuries has been representation of an object – most often person. Animals in this series are portrayed in a sad mood to show the negative impact of humans mistreating them.

DACS – EPISODES

It’s been a while since I updated my page. Probably cause I didn’t have much to share. I finished this illustration for Designers Against Child Slavery – An art collective dedicated to raising awareness about sex trafficking. Exhibit is on Saturday, October 1st, 2011 at 7:00 PM – check out more about the exhibit and organization here : www.dacsunited.com
