Sticky business

Today is sticker making day!

I’ve been making and cutting up Little Mo book stickers for wholesale orders. It was actually quite relaxing! I sat at my desk in the morning, put on some music and started cutting all these stickers out. About a hundred of them.

Then I put the stickers into their little packets. I also sketched a bit on my sketchbook. There’s a froggie in it, but I’m not sure what to do with him. So I shall ponder more on this!

Oh yeah, I’d recommend Earlimart for ‘drawing and cutting up’ background music! I’ve been playing them all week! What’s currently on your playlist?

Other work

Hello there! I’ve been busy lately and have not had chance to blog.

Earlier this month, we launched a music video that we worked on for Punk rock band, Blac Blocs. It was good to see everyone at the launch, so thanks for coming down!

We’ve finally gotten around to uploading the music video online. It’s available to watch on YouTube and Vimeo.

You can also see some behind the scenes here. As you know, we made all the props ourselves, including the conveyor belt and the entire project was shot on an old Canon 350d DSLR. This camera in fact! It goes to show that there is no bounds to creativity even with limited funds. Hope you enjoy!

I promise to update with more Mo art soon!

children cd illustration part 2

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

This is the second artwork for the song, ‘So Hungry’. The song is about a girl and her hungry pets!

I decided to draw a girl having a tea party and feeding her hungry pets. After lots of detailing and shading, the room finally started to take shape!

While working on this artwork, it reminded me of my own childhood days when I had my own pretend tea parties. We called it ‘masak masak’ (cook cook). When I was little, my parents bought me a huge colourful cutlery set with plastic cups and plates and a teapot. It even had a trolley to serve your dishes on! I had so much fun rolling up cakes made out of Play-Doh.

Children cd illustration part 1

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I worked on 2 illustrations for a client this month. They wanted artworks to accompany the lyrics in their children’s music album.

The band sent me two songs to illustrate. The first song is “My first Show” about a boy being excited about his first performance on stage.

firstshow1

I sketched a rough outline and sent it to the band. Instead of drawing a normal hall stage, I thought I would create a treetop stage with some dancing animals on it!

firstshow2

I think every band should have a dancing bear in it!

Grr grr

Had the sweetest mail today.

My little Beccy Bear gocco print from BontonsKids. I like how she’s waving her fist at the butterfly going ‘Grr Grr!’

I’ve put her up on my inspiration board so that she can also ‘grr grr’ at me to take out my Gocco machine one of these days.

Hopping packages!

bunny love

You all know I’m mad about bunnies. I found these cute wooden bunnies the other day, they are so cute…they make my heart flutter a bit!

I’m going to share some bunny love with you too! Buy a gift from my shop this Easter season and I’ll pop a little bunny on your package!

This pink bunny is traveling all the way to America and I think his siblings want to go traveling too!

Custom logo illustration for Carley

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Another busy week.

I just finished a custom illustration for Carley from Vanilla Pixie.

Carley sells sweet ribbon bows in her shop and she approached me to do some branding for her business. She told me that she wanted a pixie and a hedgehog for her logo which made me very excited!

I settled on a red and white theme, and applied it to all of her business collateral. I think the theme complements the toadstool on her logo. And I know she will have lots of fun playing with these colours for her market stall.

Carley, I hope you will have a fantastic year with your business and may this pixie bring you lots of fairy dust and sales!
