Good morning! š¼ Finally the city maintenance workers decided to come by and mow the lawn outside my apartment. It was covered with dandelion fluffs (yes, the Latin term). Well, it was off with their heads! . . . #illustration #illustrationartists #illustrator #illustrationart #whimsical #graphicdesign #midcentury #cute #dandellion #nature #flowers (at Streetsville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBj_GALm3u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

With the inundation of instagram and attention seeking articles that occupy every corner of my screen, I admit it very hard getting back into reading a āproperā book. Virginia Woolf is one of my favourite authors from my late teen- early adult years and Iāve decided to revisit her writings today šš . . .

Ever feel inspired by someone whom you never thought in a million trillion years you would be inspired by? Well here is an example of that. I only really like Bowie in his Labyrinth iterationā lol! I remember having a crush on him ā āthe Goblin Kingāā when I was younger. Anyway, here he is as Ziggy Stardust a ā fictional androgynous and bisexual rock star who is sent to Earth as a saviour before an impending apocalyptic disaster.ā (Wiki) I have been fascinated with vintage manga covers and the retro aesthetics of the 70ās and 80ās and I wanted to create an 80ās interpretation of Ziggy Stardust. This required A LOT of experimentation but I think Iām satisfied with the end result. . . .

Obsessed with this movie! You really feel Nosferatuās existential angst in this version. I really wanted to pay homage to vintage manga in this piece: I tried to imagine what a graphic novel cover or anime poster for Nosferatu might look like and this is what I came up with. I actually really want to turn this into a t-shirt š» Sourced the Japanese characters from the interwebsā actually, from the Japanese poster for this movie!

Recently Iāve been contemplating the meaning of my existence which made me think of these two: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean Paul Sartre. Very interesting and controversial figures. While I donāt agree with everything they promoted, the analysis of women in relation to men and the nature of human existenceā and freedom āare of interest to me.

More ink paintings of my current obsession.
Keeps me busy... also, good practice painting without preliminary graphite under drawingā a fun (and at many times frustrating) challenge!

I recently rewatched the movie ā12 years a slaveā adapted from the book by the same name. The abridged version of the story (which is a true story) is about a man named Solomon Northup who was a free black man during antebellum times living in New York City. Through a series of tragic events he ends up being abducted and sold into slavery. He eventually is emancipated but only after 12 years of experiencing the horrors of slavery firsthand. I wanted to challenge myself by creating a faux book cover for this incredible work. The challenge being going through the conceptual work, research, continuous rough drafts, and remaining dedicated. Another challenge being keeping myself immersed in the suffering that I have beheld and read read about so that I could be conveyed in my work. I normally donāt spend more than a few/several hours on a piece because I have a very short attention span, so this was very different for me. I asked the objective opinions of those around me and the encouraged me to push further. So I did, somewhat reluctantly. My inclination is to create beautiful things, beautiful scenes. But there is nothing even remotely beautiful about slaveryāI wanted to convey that: the grittiness, the visceral nature of it that I could ONLY imagine. I donāt want to over explain my final version; I hope that it provokes thought and that you can place your own interpretation upon it. My hope is that it does Justice to the story. #illustration #12yearsaslave #slavery #solomonnorthup #booklover #bookcover #abolition #antebellum #freedom #drawing #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory (at Mississauga, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLr40Gsh-mW/?igshid=qfwaj4c9ffov
