2020 – 2021 Years in Review
Now that I have a little break in between projects, I figured I should take some time to update my blog and share what I’ve been up to the last couple of years.
I always thought it a challenge that I could not seem to keep a consistent style and didn’t really want to. I was always trying out one thing or another (cartoon, realistic, anatomy, etc.) However, I believe all that practice and posting was beneficial because, throughout 2020 and 2021, I started receiving offers of work from some cool and interesting companies where I was able to put those skills to use. Unfortunately, I can’t mention some names because of NDA’s.
Over the past two years, I’ve worked on a variety of projects outside my comfort zone. I worked on video game backgrounds, did some concept art for a small video game company, created painted icons for a tablet interface, developed tee designs for a company’s promotion, greyscale colours for a graphic novel, character designs for a comic, and public service illustrations. Unfortunately, my social media and storefronts suffered because I didn’t have time for personal work. Despite that, I somehow still had some sales, especially masks! My heartfelt thanks for the love and support!
We also adopted 2 Bengal-mix kittens from the same litter: Thor and Loki. By a freak accident our dear sweet Loki passed away. It was very tragic and, for the longest time, we couldn’t bring ourselves to write about it. Subsequently, we ended up adopting a Siamese-Bengal mix and named him Baldur. We’re very fortunate the two boys got along and have become almost inseparable.

An early rough concept done for a video game company. While I and the client liked it, it didn’t make the cut. I later added a cat, just because.
Happy New Year and Best wishes for 2022!
