Penthouse Sep - Fullpage

Penthouse Sep - Spot

Work’s been great, terribly busy over the last few months. Haven’t had time to put up new stuff for a while, so getting the ball rolling again with these two for Penthouse. They are a bit risque, so I’ve cropped them – click on the thumbnails to see the whole image. These ARE meant to be erotic so you’ve been warned!

These two were for Penthouse’s erotic fiction article. The story was about a lady who goes to get her Macbook repaired and ends up having a fling with the three Apple store technicians.

It was a fun thing to work on. The ‘enter’ pic was actually my husband’s idea – I thought it was a little cheesy but it seemed to work well with the article. I was asked to eliminate any references to Apple in the imagery, which was fine. It struck me as a bit odd that it’s alright to name companies and brands in prose, but not so in graphics.

Anyway, hope you enjoy them. The next work-related stuff I’ll be posting will be educational (for kids… not that kind of education).

Did this fairly recently as a promo to folks in the kid’s market. It was meant to be a Spring thing, but I suppose it fits in with Summer as well. On a side note, the NY trip was great. Went to Surtex and the National Stationary Show, met clients, hung out with friends.

Worked on this a couple of months ago with the good folks at Mclaren McCann Toronto.  The project was for World Vision’s Spring 2010 direct mailer. The job was to create an illustration for the envelope, which would be repurposed for the letter and note card inside. Additionally, I was asked to illustrate a little mask for kids that was to be printed with lenticular printing (remember those plasticy cards where you turn them and the image changes?).

The project was great fun and I really enjoyed (more…)

Did this some time ago for Penthouse magazine’s erotic fiction article. This is the fullpage illustration, and it was accompanied by a spot. You can see both illustrations on my website: fullpage and spot.

Spring is here! Happy Spring! This piece went out as a email promo with the message ‘spring cleaning is good for your soul’. Below are some of the rough concepts I drew up beforehand – thank you to everyone who gave their input!

Spot illustrations of various reptiles that went along with an illustrated background and title for Chickadee’s Reptile Awards spread.  It was a near little assignment that was fun to work on. The colors shown here are the original version; a more saturated version was used for the actual article.

This was a nice project for OWL and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). The illustrations accompany a website about educating children about the recent earthquake in Haiti.

Did this during a couple of Livestream sessions last week. I guess I forgot to post it up here.

If you missed the stream, you can see the recordings here. A good 2h of my computer screen and me rambling on about stuff! Hear my rant about Captain Planet!

Also, I just realized that the last year of my life practically disappeared from under me. At least, it seems that way when I look at my previous blog entries for 08 and 09.

Finally had a little time to do something of my own. So naturally, I render a character that belongs to someone else…

Ah, but Death is timeless, and appropriate for what I intended to do anyway. Pity there is no new Death Gallery book being published.

This is probably my favorite piece of work this year. A fullpage and spot for Penthouse, for their erotic fiction section. The piece was about a lady who enjoys diddling herself on planes. She gets found out by her hunky seat-neighbor, who proceeds to literally give her a helping hand. Perhaps not the most intelligent of stories, but certainly one of the more entertaining things for an illustrator to work on!
