Childhood Memories: Friends are for suckers



I wore some pretty bad-ass stuff in the 90s. Sorry it's a bit late, this has been the most insane month.

Cheers,

Summer Reading II

Summer Reading II (18x24, acrylic on board)


Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to scan my work so pardon the awful photograph... But this is my contribution to the "Sweat" show running until this Thursday, August 4th. Come by this Thursday for the closing reception if you can! See www.ozstudios.ca and the Facebook invite for more information.

This illustration was painted in acrylic. I wanted to do something that celebrated the beauty of outdoor reading, summertime and the combination of both. I've been playing with the idea of rendering flat patterns in a three-dimensional setting, and then finding a balance between the two. I think it's something I'll be doing for awhile.

Cheers,
Chelsea

Night Sweats



This was one of my contributions to the Sweat show. It's about those cold sweats you get at night when you have nightmares or a fever. Hope you all are having a great summer! Be sure to come down to see the show which is on until the 4th of August at Oz Studios.

Cheers,

Jacquie

Sweat from your Brow

This is my contribution to the SWEAT show, which is still on for another week. I really wanted to get into the idea of sweat as the product of hard work. I've also been thinking about money, and money coming from hard work lately, so the idea came very naturally this time. The other piece I did for the show is more of an Atlas character, whose money is a burden. You have both of the sweaty sides of money here...
