Recent Work: 'Tortoise The King' Illustrations.

I have been tied up with several projects, notably a set of portraits. But I was finally able to finish the illustrations for the story book Tortoise The King. The author, Kelvin Biachi, hopes to have the book ready for the London Book Fair. The time is tight but I wish him all the best.

Posted here are some of the illustrations.

 

Recent Event: My LinkedIn Page

I just created a page for my studio on LinkedIn, the professional networking site. I'll be happy to link up with you over there. 

   

Recent Work: Ginger Cat Illustrations

I just finished painting four illustrations for a pet care web site. The work gave me an opportunity to test run the Cintiq tablet pen. The experience was different from using the mouse. I still have a lot of practice ahead f me, but painting the fur was less of a hassle.

Recent Event: My Facebook Page

I recently updated my facebook page and decided to use it as a networking platform for my studio. I'm surprised I hadn't thought of that earlier. I have also been able to connect with many wonderful people, especially from the CCAS community.

Recent Work: My 2010 Portfolio & Resume

Recent Event: My Cintiq Tablet!

At long last, I finally have the Cintiq 12WX tablet. I have been expecting this tool for almost a year. It cost quite a bundle, but it is worth it. I've already started trying it out on photoshop 7. It's a different painting experience from using the mouse.

Recent Work: House-Warming Gift

Welcome to 2010! I believe this year is pregnant with blessings for as many as are bold enough to reach out for something better.

I find myself rejoicing with two relatives and two friends for the same reasons- They have built their own houses! WOW, that's no small feat! Here is a poster I designed as gift items. I had copies printed, mounted and framed.

Recent Work: Call Card Design

I finished some designs for a constuction company. Actually this is a tune up on an earlier submission. They wanted two colour designs, hence the posted sheets.

 

  

Recent Event: Final Yearbook Illustration

At last the GTS, Citibank Nigeria Ltd project is over. A funny feeling comes over me as I take time to decompress from the tight schedule I have been under these past five weeks. I feel really relieved to have put it behind me. Below is the initial design for the CD cover for the project; I later went for something simpler. And next is the portrait of the GTS boss Mr. Nanji.

 

It was a learning experience. Now it's time to wrap up some loose ends for the year 2009.
