http://www.jackygilbertson.ca Design & Illustration Portfolio of Jacky Gilbertson Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:27:17 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Here's that new project I was telling you about. I've only included my favourite pieces to my portfolio, and I'll add the rest to my sketches area. It's for the Teenage Survival Guide, a publication that's handed out to schools. I remember getting them when I was in school, so ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2010/illustration/teenage-survival/ Hm, haven't documented anything new (am currently working feverishly on something at the moment, which I hope to finish by today/tomorrow -- so I'll post it soon) but I did find some stuff from my last year of college that I forgot to add to the website. It's from a project ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2010/illustration/the-cat-came-back/ Figured it was about time I made a post. I am so bad for that, disappearing constantly from the internet. It's not that I'm not making art, I am just not documenting it. And that was supposed to be one of my New Year's Resolutions! But life always has other ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2010/illustration/olympic-exhibition/ Welp, I'm done. So much for process, I guess. But when I do something, I kinda just do it... in one fell swoop. You saw my sketch, at least, yes? Anyway, here's the final painting for the Pick-a-Painting. Its in sketches right now, because I, once again, took this photo ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/illustration/pick-a-painting-final/ I'm currently working on a little painting for a charity event called Pick-a-Painting, hosted at the Gallery where I work. The concept of the event is simple. Local artists are given free canvases in a range of smaller sizes (12x12 to 6x8) to paint and decorate and return to the ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/illustration/pick-a-painting-wip/ Ahhhh, Internet, so nice of you to FINALLY WORK. Now to pick up where I left off. Here's something I do while I work at the front desk on weekends with nothing to do; drawing memes! I used the Deity Generator to generate (duh) random descriptions of a deity (duh). Then ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/illustration/selected-summer-sketches-part-2/ As promised, here are selected sketches from my summer sketchbooks. If there are typos or broken links--forgive me. I am actually posting this from my iPhone. Yes, there's an app for that. I meant to post these on Friday because one was a submission for Illustration Friday but Telus decided that ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/illustration/selected-summer-sketches/ It's been awhile, hasn't it? I apologize for being a ghost; I tend to get caught up in the summer swing-of-things and fall off the face of the Internet. Especially if I'm not working freelance. Especially-especially if my job is art related. Painting for 7 hours a day, EVERY day, ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/inspiration/its-been-awhile/ One of my promises I made to myself, regarding my plans for my "time off" (my "last" summer and working back home for a few months) was that I was going to enter some work into the Summer Show at the Art Gallery that I work at. New work, not ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/illustration/summer-show-2009/ To many, it seems that a small town would be a calm, relaxing (maybe even boring) place to spend their summer. Even I tend to think that way once I've been away from it for an extended period of time. However, I am always proven wrong. This last month has been ... http://www.jackygilbertson.ca/2009/experiments/the-month-of-may/
