Their twilight campaign is easy to explain.

Recently I've been watching a few episodes of Pinky and the Brain. I decided to try my hand at drawing them.

I added the lyrics of their theme song to the background afterwards. Keegan has officially dibsed this as his birthday present.

Origami

I was at dinner one evening with some friends and I had made an origami flapping crane (classic.) Everyone was amazed and asked me to create more. Unfortunately, I don't know a lot of origami off by heart so I was only able to create a few more pieces. After this, I decided to learn some more interesting origami.

To the left is a box made of 8 pieces of paper. When pulled the right way, it turns into a rose! (See below).






















In April, I went to Victoria and brought some origami supplies for fun. Geoff said he wanted a t-rex so I went on YouTube and created this! A purple t-rex. :)

Art Noms

Recently I've felt inspired to create food. I'm by no means a great cook but every now and again, as with art, I feel inspired to create. Below are two of the sandwich-type foods I created. I have also done a couple salads and pizzas but haven't been able to find the pictures...
Tuna Melts
Portabella Mushroom Burgers

This is another special thing that I made. For Geoff's 21 birthday I decided to make him a home-made ice cream cake. I tried to dye gummy bears purple but it's insanely difficult to do! Anyway, this was the result. We went to Banff though so I froze it in an ice block in a cooler. Unfortunately when it got to Banff, it was pretty melted. Ah well.

Sketchy Sketches

Here are some sketches I did based on a book called "Animal Art". It basically teaches you how to draw. :p


Happy Birthday Geoffrey!

For Geoff's birthday in March I decided to draw him a picture of the MK2 Golf that he's rebuilding. Here's the end result! I put it in a picture frame and cut it down a bit so that it looked a little different than just a picture in a frame which I think turned out pretty well. I also attempted to raise the white picture about 3 mm above the black paper by using foam underneath. It's not as drastic as I had hoped.

Gobble Gobble. Oh wait...

So I got this idea to draw a peacock and have it be like a very solid black outline and try to get the colours of the feathers to stand out. Unfortunately most of my peacocks started looking like turkeys so I had to change the shape a little bit and I still can't really figure out how to make the colours the focal point of the picture. Ah well. Here are a couple that I liked though!

Current Project

This next project that I have going might take a while to complete but I thought I'd put it up to show progress! Could be neat. So I'm working on a paint by number of an owl. Here's a picture of the blank canvas with only numbers.

I have no idea why they're always sideways. Sorry!

UPDATE:
After working on it the first day:
