3x3 2010 Directory

Hi!
I just wanted to mention that 3x3 2010 Directory is now out!!! I was contacted by Charles Hively if I wanted to be a part of 3x3 Directory in 2010. I thought it was a great opportunity for me to promote myself with such a great magazine like 3x3. Plus, it is so awesome to be in the same book with great illustrators that I admire and profs from OCAD like Paul Dallas, JC Knaff, Tatsuro Kiuchi, Olaf Hajek and much much more.

Here's the cover for 3x3 2010 by James Yang:



Here's the link to my illustration online

Have a Merry Christmas ☆

Creative Quarterly 17!

YAY! Good news :)

I have been informed yesterday that my Broken Tooth illustration had just been selected as one of the Runner-Ups and will appear on the gallery section of Creative Quarterly's website. It makes me so happy, I feel like I am actually doing something right! It always feels great to know that people think you did good work :) In my earlier posts, I mentioned that I had received a merit award in Creative Quarterly 15 and my illustration was published in the magazine in the summer of 2009. Although this time, my illustration is not going to be in the magazine, it feels just as great. This year has been really great so far for me. I finished my thesis, won 2 awards, took a fun trip, saw Green Day again and the other one is...well, it's good/bad ( but I hope it turns out good later on?) . Besides that I have found 6 four-leaf clovers this year!!! (I know it sounds weird that I have found that many...I probably spend too much time at the park with my dog) But I think I'm a generally lucky person. So I hope that the rest of the year will be as great :D Thanks to everyone that supports me. Please continue to support me ^_^ I will keep trying!

Creative Quarterly 15!

I might have mentioned it here already that one of my illustrations won a Student Merit Award in Creative Quarterly 15! Here's the first time I'm posting about it!!! My Bee Hopscotch had received an award in the magazine which I am extremely happy and grateful to have made it. This illustration is a part of my thesis, it basically is: "Dreaming of a beehive means that you will have a happy childhood."

I hope to win many more awards in the future :) It is such an honor to be published!!! Thanks to CQ people and Paul and Gary (who actually helped with the composition in this piece while Paul was away!)

Here's the illustration :D



Please go check the magazine out at bookstores everywhere! Or better yet, please buy a copy! It's a really good magazine! Also, click HERE to see an online version of the issue. Congrats to my fellow OCAD friends who have also made it in Creative Quarterly 15: Chris Kuzma, Ahn Na Lim, and Sheila Liu.

** Update! I have also added a flickr account, please check it out and feel free to add me as a friend Here!

Illustration GRAD SHOW 2009

I know it's been a while since the OCAD grad show...but I have been dreading for a long break so finally, here's a post about it :D The show was a success, I had a great time! Although the whole year of doing thesis had been hard...everything was worth it. I'd like to thank the OCAD faculty, my friends and classmates for all the support! Also, thank you to everyone who showed up to the grad show especially my family who could make it! It meant a lot to me :) ขอบคุณค่ะ!

My thesis display on "Life is but a Dream". For more information and a better look at the images, please go to my website.

And this is the display of my "Dreaming of Beehives means you will have a happy childhood" illustration at OCAD on the 6th floor that was featured in Creative Quarterly 15 Magazine which won the Student Merit Award.

I still have a bunch of promotional postcards left and if anyone is interested in getting one, I will be more than happy to mail it to them. Please leave your name and address for me if you are interested!
