Music for my ipod

Recently I was introduced to the lovely Jane Lui from a friend. She has a knack for collaborations and a smooth and utterly melodic voice for all you jazz/contemporary fans out there. Her album is available for downloading at her site. Nothing like some easy listening as I try to ink my way through 7 clothing designs!

Process work for The Truth about Unicorns Cover

It's Friday - yay - which means I get to show a little bit of my work-in-progress for the Truth About Unicorn cover.

I initially did three roughs based on an art brief from the art director.



After that and a bit of nit picking here and there, we decided on one particular rough and modified it a little bit.

Then came time for the final work:
a) I did some finished ink work from the final rough

b) Added some watercolour and texture for the hair.

c) Played around with the composition of the trees.

d) Then after some back and forth - voila - instant art.... yes I am summarizing here.

Book cover - The Truth about Unicorns



I've been going through some older jobs from the summer and I have a lot of things I'd like to show!
For a project I really enjoyed, I finished a book cover for a story, The Truth about Unicorns, which is about a family and the occult happenings which deeply, darkly effect them for Wing Ko.
The premise of the cover is a mysterious force, one of the more stranger female characters, shrouds the forest in which the story takes place in.
The medium I used was a mix of ink, watercolor and digital. The style suggested is a simple, flat and Muchas-esh feel.
