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 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.
