Breakfast Club

  This poster was made for the Breakfast Club in the YMCA Academy because I was part of the club and the people I was with were asking me to make a poster for the club in the cafeteria and so then I used watercolour for the drawing and I liked doing the lighting because it's something I haven't done before. Nothing else to say, hope you like it!

The Talent Show Poster (2010)

  This poster was made by me, and I used watercolour as my material. The reason I made this was because there was a talent show going on in the YMCA building and my art teacher came up to me and asked, "Do you want to make a poster for the talent show?" I answered,"Yes!" because I wanted to be apart of the talent show, granite I didn't participate doing something in the show but I knew I wanted to make a poster! The reason I added Mickey was because I'm pretty much a Mickey fan and I added him in their for giggles. I liked adding the musical notes in their because I knew there was going to be singing involved.

Mickey Mouse is owned by the Walt Disney Company.

Mickey Mouse

  Mickey Mouse first appeared in Plane Crazy in 1928 as a replacement of Walt Disney's previous cartoon character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, in which Walt lost the rights to the character to Charles Mintz. So Mickey was born but he was not an overnight success, UNTIL in November in the same year, Mickey starred in Steamboat Willie the first EVER cartoon to feature sound! The cartoon premiered in New York City, in the Colony Theater and it was a HUGE success! Mickey was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.
  I drew Mickey Mouse during my spare time in art class where I had nothing to do, so then I drew Mickey in his Fantasia clothing. I drew him with his clothes from Fantasia because I thought his appearance and segment was the best thing by Disney since Steamboat Willie.

Bugs Bunny

  Bugs Bunny first appeared in Porky's Hare Hunt, in April of 1938. However, it was not his official first appearance until in July of 1940 in A Wild Hare, where he actually got the name Bugs Bunny and has the New York accent. Bugs was created by Ben Hardaway as a prototype, then he was officially created by Tex Avery as an early visual design, and then he was created by Bob Clampett as a final visual design.
   I've always enjoyed animation since I was a kid. I would always watch the Looney Tunes, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Toy Story and the list goes on. The reason I drew Bugs Bunny was because my art class was learning about animation and we were assigned to draw famous cartoon and/or animated characters, and I chose Bugs as my work.He is one of my favorite cartoon characters.

Surrealism

Henry's Dreamland
Media: Photoshop CS 
In the creation of this piece, I used eight pictures from Google Images, cropped images, filtered and liquefied the images and then I decided to call it "Henry's Dreamland". 
The two positive aspects of the piece I like is that it's full of colour and it's one of my magnum opus' for Photoshop.  The thing I would change is that I would make it less cramped. 

Shattered Image

Blanket Symphony 
Media: Pencil on paper
The techniques I used for the piece is that I just used pencil and a smudger for smudging the black. I did this free hand with no ruler when it came to the big black lines.
The two aspects I like is that I think it looks awesome and I thought that blanket looks a bit realistic BEFORE the black lines came. The thing I would like to change is that I would like to make it more three dimensional by fixing some of the lines.
