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

  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.

An animation project that my art class did during our trip to the NFB for claymation. The first segment was done by Grant Goodman, John Barron, and Madison. The second segment was done by me, Jaiden Robinson, and Jamie Anderson.We made the characters out of clay.

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.
 

Self Portrait

Portrait of Henry the Ninth 
 Media: Paper and paint on canvas 
The techniques that was used was that I took a photo of me from Facebook, printed it in black and white, painted the canvas before gluing the photo on it, then glued it on, and then painted the photo. I chose blue and red because both of them are my favourite colours. Blue is suppose to represent good while red represents bad. I feel that everyone has both go0d and bad in them.
I liked that I used blue and red as the main colours and I liked using the media because it dawned on me pretty quickly how special this was. The thing I would like to change is that I wish I hadn't painted my glasses.

Reflection
Media: Watercolour on paper
The techniques I used was that I drew the lines for the picture first, then used ink for outlining, and then used watercolour paints to fill it in.
I liked the reflection of the water showing the bird while in real life it is a bomb and I loved that city in the background. The thing I would like to change is that I could have used a different colour for the sky because it makes it hard to see the bomber that's suppose to be in the sky. 

Gargoyle

Metallica Fan Monster 
Media: Clay with glaze.
The process I used was that I made it out of clay then put it in the kiln to heat it up and then I used bright red glaze to paint it. The techniques I used was that I used a garlic press for making the hair, I put the tongue in after I made the mouth, and I used a toothpick for writing the name Metallica and adding a lightning bolt. 
I liked adding the Metallica logo on it because I thought my monster looked like a heavy metal fan and I liked working with clay as a medium. The thing I would like to change is that I would've painted the eyes with white glaze because it makes it more realistic.
 

Monster-A-Day

The Neo-Reaper 
Media: Pastel on paper
The media I used was that I used pastel. The technique I used was that I used my finger for smudging the pastel on the right to create a shadow.
I liked the fact that it looks amazingly cool and I liked using the pastel because it felt different compared to my pencil work. The thing I would like to change is that I would have added red on the blade. 

 The Dell-o 
Media: Watercolor on Paper
The techniques I used was that I used watercolour and decided to make it a jello possessed by the devil. It took me two days and two classes to finish it.
I liked that it looks ghoulish and that it's red. The thing I would like to change is that I should have made the fingers a bit more like claws.  

 George Gargoyle 
Media: Watercolor on paper
The techniques I used was that I used watercolour and traced with a pencil a photo of a Gargoyle statue.  I first started painting the head, then I did the ears, the body came after that, then wings, and finally added the red background.
I liked that the face looks a bit realistic and that the bat ears are done creatively. I would like to add the arms because all gargoyles have arms! 

 Neo-Reaper (Watercolor version)
Media: Same as before.
The techniques I used was that I did another picture of the Neo-Reaper but with watercolour. So I used black and red watercolours and came up with this. I used a lot of water to apply the paint. I used a thinner brush for the blood stain on the blade.
I liked that the face was at least intimidating I liked the robe was black. I would like to fix the entire picture though because I thought the first one was better.
