In-Class Water Colours



My first ever real attempt at 'still life' water colour painting. I was nervous at first, but I have to say I'm pretty surprised with the end results!

In-class: Week 4.

Tim Burton Inspired




These first two pieces are by Tim Burton and what I gathered from them is a cutesy yet disturbing style. Burton often uses exaggerated heads and messy scribbles. I tried to incorporate this into my own artwork:



This is something that I think reflects a little bit of my own style combined with Tim Burton's.



Here, I tried to use water colours in Burton's perfectly imperfect way.

Chibi JAM



So here's a little insight into my blog's name:

I have two cousins who mean the world to me. We're all the same age and have been best friends all our lives and coincidentally the first letters of our names spell out J.A.M (Julie.Angela.Michelle*). Even more coincidental is the fact that the first letters of our current boyfriends' names go into PeaNut Butter (PatrickNigel Ben). Therefore, to our family and close friends we're referred to as PeaNut Butter and JAM.

*My middle name is Michelle and Michelle is what my family has called me all my life.

A Few Of My Favourite Things

1. For Christmas 2007, because I am a photoshop freak, I made my own line of Christmas Tags called The Chorale Christmas Time Friends.

2. This was a gift I made for my best friend when Twilight was good. (Before the Movie)

3. Just a couple of photos that I took randomly. Don't you love it when you come across a perfectly unplanned picture? The plate of clementine peels is actually published in a coffee table book titled Images for the Ages by the International Library of Photography.




Broken Silence
In my third semester of Corporate Media Production, my group and I put together the following short documentary. I am quite happy with it.
