Side Projects - T-shirts for our Karate Club

This year I was the president of the Concordia Karate club and I had the pleasure of coming up with an idea for the club to do this year. I was interested in creating a logo for the club and maybe a few things to leave behind when I'm gone from my time at Concordia. A bit bitter sweet if I think about it.

I worked on creating t-shirts for our club's kohai. I'm really happy how they turned out. I've been thinking to create a t-shirt company for myself but I'll need a lot of screens and ink. Maybe down the line.

Independent Project - Woodblock Printing

For my independent study I wanted to look at the way oral stories began. I'm currently doing 4 20 by 20 inch woodcuts.
I'm going to update this later with photos.

Shellac all the wood.

Lithography - Colour Trial Proofs

Well I kind of fell behind in Lithography since I thought the deadline was later than I thought. I have to force myself to work ahead of schedule. For this project we were to design a set of prints that would make us think of different combinations and other things. I wanted to go back to the idea of my first silkscreen and create a world where there is a city built out of an iceberg. I'm interesting in the sense of isolation and most of my works don't involve figures rather an environment. I'm not too sure if this is the way I like my artwork to go. Any ways here is the process.

I usually start out with lines.

And then I begin to shade in the important areas.

Matchbox Project 2014

During this semester I wanted to participate in some of the different things happening in school. I was introduced to this project by the Mouseprint Gallery crew, Nat and Hea. I thought what would I like to create on a small scale, that would look interesting and technical.

Making a matchbox with little teepees attached to the box. I've been really, homesick this semester and I just about gave up and left. But I've been pushing on to finish school.

Here's the process of my matchboxes. More after the cut.
