I said I’d post some of the stuff I did during my short internship at the National Post. I did not lie! Here’s most of it – I also did a lot of maps and graphs and things, but since they were done heavily from Post templates, I doubt I’m meant to put ‘em up.

First, an ARMY OF LEPRECHAUNS:

This was a photo illustration about IMAX’s current troubles. It was made from a single strip of film and a photo of Superman, with a whole lot of Photoshop warping. I kinda miss doing this kinda stuff…

An illustration on “Cloud Computing”:

Some buildings on Bayview avenue, a part of a larger thing:

A diagram of how the Canadarm2 on the space station operates and walks around. This was actually the first thing I did at the Post. It was a small part of a much larger, much cooler full-page thing – the version of this that showed up in the final was modified slightly, but this was as far as I took it:

And finally, this little pilot dude was an extremely tiny part of a much, much larger thing, but frankly, I happen to like him:

All in all, it was a really fantastic experience, I got to meet and work with some great people, and, well, seeing my stuff in a newspaper was beyond cool. I do love being an illustrator. =)

I’ve been ungodly busy lately, just coming off an (INCREDIBLE) three-week co-op at the National Post, and I still ought to post some of the stuff I did there. I think I’m allowed to do that? And now I’m catching up on 3 weeks of schoolwork, which is… tiring.

But until I can get any of that up, here’s a two-hour digital painting from life. I got sick of acrylics and dragged my laptop and tablet to class today.

The proper version:

The AWESOME version:

What can I say, I thought he had kind of a comic book supervillain look to him, and wanted to see what I could to do exacerbate that.
