Chromajoy: December 2013
http://chromajoy.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 11, 2013. At the Light Table 019. The brain, mind and flesh have very much been on my mind since Bob died and Mom's Alzheimer's has continued to progress. I don't know how Bob felt nor can I pretend to. More often than not, I'm sure what we call the spirit drives the flesh on, often past its ability. Is spirit just flesh and vice versa? The vision is to paint something transitory, like life and memory. Working with oil on canvas will not fit the bill. Nor will acrylic, which i...I lik...

Chromajoy: April 2011

Monday, April 25, 2011. At the Light Table 012. The sweater has iconic status on Vancouver Island. Since the Scots brought textile arts and knitting from the Fair Isle. In Scotland's Shetland Islands. The chunky sweater has become synonymous with the Cowichan tribe. From the beautiful Cowichan Valley. First Nations knitters still. Create these popular sweaters using traditional techniques and materials. Many, like Vancouver's Granted. Sweaters and blankets, I must love the textile arts! S history —...

Chromajoy: January 2011
http://chromajoy.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. At the Light Table 010. Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of designing a New Years poster that Mary Lo of the Public Affairs Bureau's Ethnic Media Relations Unit presents to the Chinese media outlets in Vancouver. The unfortunate aspect of the project is its compressed timeframe. This year, the design needed to be completed in a day and nine prints output and framed the following morning so as to meet the presentation deadline! As mentioned, this poster was well...

Chromajoy: January 2012
http://chromajoy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. At the Light Table 015. Gung Hay Fat Choy! Spring Festival begins and so does the Province of British Columbia's tour of the Chinese media outlets. This year, I retained the 11x14 layout developed last year for the Year of the Rabbit. Because it was so well received and cost-effective. As inspiration, I drew upon a beautiful Vancouver cultural landmark, the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Classical Chinese Garden. At 578 Carrall Street. Once the linework was cleaned up using a Sharpie. I usuall...

Friday, November 30, 2012. At the Light Table 018. 30,000 years ago, our ancestors were creating some fine work. Roger Lee didn't discussed any of this in art history class. Or he did and I wasn't paying attention. Posted by Chromajoy is. Friday, November 16, 2012. At the Light Table 017. Is hosting a series of sessions led by Genevieve von Petzinger.

Saturday, November 01, 2014. At the Light Table 021. Here’s the brief to a fun project I was included in just recently. A small doodle was included with the brief. Sounds fun, eh? The project was for the Emergency Management British Columbia’s Social Media Unit. The plan was to support the communications around the Great ShakeOut. Speaking with my manager, Andrew Pratt. Comics. Their straightforward character design was a major inspiration to steer the illustrations. Thankfully, the EMBC Social Media Uni...

Sunday, October 14, 2012. Alzheimer's Forcing a Hiatus. Alzheimer's Disease continues to ravage my Mother's ability to manage day-to-day. As she requires more attention, I have to divert my attention away from the lab and toward her care. Posts will continue to be sparse for the next few months. Keep her in your prayers and consider supporting the Alzheimer's Society of B.C. Posted by Chromajoy is. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Tweets from Chromajoy fan, Joy.
