Feathered Affairs webcomics

This Monday I have launched the new web comic called Feathered Affairs, satirical take on foreign affairs, current affairs, politics, economy, sports and (international) life in general. Some of you might remember that I have worked on a similar comic – United Poultry. This time I partnered with Vancouver based Rob Weber, who writes and tweets, we refreshed the characters and added few more, like northern north-american Jay and east-asian Ming.

The comics will be published daily, you can follow it on featheredaffairs.com, through RSS feed www.featheredaffairs.com/feed, as well as @featheredtree tweets. In addition, in the next few months the birds will be tweeting daily satirical comments on the current affairs. You can follow those through @featheredtree, as well or through individual characters twitter handles that you can find here featheredaffairs.com/characters

It is easy to share every comic strip, tweet or blog, they all have Share buttons for Twitter, Facebook as well as “+” button that allow sharing via 200+ other platforms. If you like any of the posts, please share it with your circle of friends.

All constructive criticism is more than welcome, propaganda even more!

Vancouver Convention Centre

If you are a Vancouverite, you can take a free one hour guided tour of the Vancouver Convention Centre, just call them to check for available times. Team of designers from my company recently used the opportunity and visited this quite spectacular building in our neighbourhood. Many things are cool about the building: the architecture, the interior design, the sustainability factor, the selected art, the materials, the colours - but the scale is THE element that will for sure amaze anyone. The ballrooms are the biggest enclosed spaces I have seen, yet they still feel very intimate. Good job LMNArchitects, MCM Architects and DA Architects + Planners :)

Few photos snapped with my phone. Check much better ones from my colleagues Dave Emmett and Tony Burbage.

Events Concept Art

Creating concept illustrations for an event is an interesting thing. Events take place at the existing venues, therefore a photo or even a 3D model of the space already exists. What’s needed is an exciting painted overlay. It is almost like painting 3D white boxes into something believable, if not realistic. Actually believable is far more exciting than realistic.

Here is an example of a series of illustrations for an event, with the raw photos and the painted overlay.

Peace to all

Merry Christmas and Happy 2012

I drew this tortoise in a very graphic style while back for the American Zoos and Aquariums project…

Recently, I revisited the artwork and added a bit more texture and details…

Olympic Anniversary

The team who delivered Vancouver Olympic ceremonies, David Atkins Enterprises pitched a great concept for the Anniversary party. It didn’t happen – for whatever reason. I produced a series of concept illustrations that were used in the pitch to depict the event. Here are few of those…
