DIY book - Do It Yourself, Design It Yourself featuring Art Shot Glassware is done!

Several months ago I was contacted by Artpower International Publishing, they were interested in my hand painter glassware pieces. I gave them some photos and here it is! A gorgeous book featuring artists from all over the world! I am very grateful for the work Artpower International Publishing did on the book and for the publicity my humble work has been given.

I am particularly happy that some of my work featured in this book already belongs to my friends! 

The book will be up for sale soon, but for now you can check out some previous work by this publishing agency here.

I have many summer plans for festivals and shows, so stay tuned for my schedule.

I am pleased to announce that my Grass and Mountains watercolours, currently displayed in the Calgary Tower lobby, was given an honorable mention at the Light Space and Time Online Gallery! The theme of the latest exhibition is "Landscapes", click here to see the beautiful artwork at this exhibition.

This guy, called Goober was made from sketch into a 3D sculpture with the help of Jeremy Labelle and Streamline Automation. I think he looks pretty cool!

Here is a small picture gallery of the process. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.

Here it is! I am stoked to start working on this limited edition sketchbook project! For more information on this project click here.

My theme this time is The Secret and How to Tell It. The book is due by the 30th of April, I will do my best not to submit at the last moment this time!

I will be posting some progress pictures, so check back often.

Cheers!

I have finally finished my entry for the Sketchbook Project 2012 World Tour.

In short, this project is about people all over the world filling up a small sketchbook, which will then go on a world tour and end up on permanent display in the Brooklyn Art Library. Many of the sketchbooks will be also available for viewing online too. The artists could choose several themes for their work. I stuck with the open theme of "This is a Sketchbook".

You can check out my sketchbook here.

Although I started out in watercolour and acrylic, I soon switched to ballpoint pen as I realized I wanted the sketchbook to have lots of line drawings and just mainly black and white work. Since the theme was so open, it was tough to start drawing right away as I simply did not know where to begin. A trip to Hawaii over Christmas definitely helped though! Almost every place there is worth capturing on paper or camera! I then continued with sketching places that were inspirational to me in the last few years. Some from memory, some with the helps of photographs I have taken during some of my trips. 

One of the main things I liked about this project is that is made me sit down, pick up a pen and draw for a while, concentrating on just this task and putting all the everyday things aside. I liked this project so much that I signed up for the Sketchbook Project Limited Edition too. There are still 354 spots left on the project, so if you feel like showing your sketches to the world, I highly recommend signing up.
