“Wendyland” Opening Night

Wendy — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 17:46:18 +0000

The opening night for Welcome to Wendyland was a success thanks to all of you! I’m so happy I got to share my Food Girls prints and goods with you. The night was made extra special thanks to my friend Sue Kim’s amazing cupcakes – she themed it to match my girls!! Here are some photos (I couldn’t take photos of the actual store hence it being kinda explicit):

Come As You Are (701 Queen Street West), where my show takes place!

I Am The LAW!!: Canadian Lawyer

Equals

Canadian Lawyer

Hello Blogiverseee!!! Last two weeks have been crazy busy, preparing and being at Fan Expo. BUT! I'm back with a piece done for Canadian Lawyer.

Equals: ODR's (Online Dispute Resolution) have become a new and common solution to settle disputes. Many people prefer settling small claims online, rather than going through the process of attending a courtroom and seeing a judge. In that sense the computer has made itself equal to the judges role. Don't tell that to Judge Dredd though.

Also I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by at Fan Expo. It was great seeing old faces and especially meeting new ones! It was an awesome experience and I will be having a table next year!

I don't have any pictures but heres my table mates!! Me, Wesley Tsang, Yuta Onoda and Simon Kim. Nimit brought his fancy dancy video moving picture recorder along for the weekend. So stay tuned for that!!

Oh also! Here is a print that I made especially for Fan Expo:

I submitted it to the Blizzard Fan Art page and they posted it!! Check it out here!

More to come this week!!!!

DISHING ABOUT DIVORCE

Christina Ung — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:27:00 +0000

Hello Everyone!

So earlier this summer, I had the opportunity to do a feature illustration for More Magazine which is always a great joy for me. I've mentioned it in my previous post but I have to mention it again.. the Art Director is an absolute blessing to work with!

The article for this illustration focuses on divorce; particularly on women's strong support network and their tendencies to vent as a form of communal therapy. Believe it or not, statistics indicate that more male suffer feelings of despair compared to women after they've experienced a break up of a marriage or common law relationship.

Here are some of my initial concepts,

The process,

The final,

I love how the page was designed so here are some shots of the magazine with the feature illustration and the spot illustration I did.

Let me know if you've enjoyed this post.
Have a great weekend,and happy Labour Day!

“Wendyland” Preview

Wendy — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:41:47 +0000

Hooray, it’s almost time for “Welcome to Wendyland“, my first solo show! I’ve been preparing lots for the show and it’s going to be so much fun. Got my prints, merchandise and music playlist ready to go, am only curious to see the FREE Food Girls-themed cupcakes my friend is baking! Guess I’ll have to wait till the show…oh the anticipation!

Ooh a lil bit of trivia on the Come As You Are store (where the show takes place): apparently singers Peaches and Feist used to live upstairs or close to the vicinity! How about that for a celebrity connection…

Here are some pictures from tonight’s hanging of artwork (with explicit areas blurred). Show details again:

“Welcome to Wendyland”
September 2 (opening night 7pm – 9pm, come and meet me!) – 30, 2010
Come As You Are
701 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON M6J

Xoxo, Wendy

It's a fun book for kids 6-8

This was the final design of Sir Seth

And here's the various different styles and looks that were tried for preproduction for Sir Seth and his friends

Oh and one last thing. my good friend Hilary Leung is launching his second kids book
