Enjoy this short promo for yesterday’s Challenge Your World event in Montreal. Created by Yann Benedi and Céline Desrumaux, I like the combination of 2D and 3D techniques, and the nod to An Inconvenient Truth.

Check out Céline’s blog for some process drawings.

Designer and illustrator Ty Wilkins (founder of Type Theory) has a small (but hopefully growing) collection of animal illustrations made up of a nice mix of vector shapes and hand-painted textures.

Wednesday was another life drawing class. Took a while to get into it - didn't like the quick ones so much. Partly i didn't like his poses so much - wrapping his arms around himself and hunching over into totally unnatural poses, more like standing roadkill.

30 minutes.

Wooot! I'm finishing up some work and then I pack and jump in the car with my trusty steed (umm, husband) to head to Thought Bubble! I'll be at my table, offering sketches, prints and a smile for most of the weekend. You can also find me in these places:

Saturday:
11:00 - 11:30 - SelfMadeHero signing
14:00 - 15:10 - Cosplay judging (with Sonia Leong and Yishan Li - should be a blast!)
16:00 - 16:30 - SelfMadeHero
18:30 - 19:30 - Women in Sequential Art (with Mel Gibson, Yishan li, Sarah Lightman and Nicola Streeten)

Sunday:
14:50 - 15:50 - Character Workshop at Leeds Library

Be sure to check out the rest of the amazing lineup as well - it's going to be a fantastic show! ^_^
