Here's three fun lil spot illos from a pamphlet I designed/illustrated for NSCAD about how to put together an undergrad portfolio to apply to art school. I'll post the whole thing sometime soon, but for now, these are 3 of my favs bits.

Three illustrated heads, wearing glasses, deep in thought, with cut-aways showing the interior of the mind. The first one has a jumble of lines, in the second, the lines have organized into 4 colourful shapes floating aimlessly. In the third, the shapes have been arranged into a piece of art, and the person is smiling. This is a visual representation of ideation, or conceptualizing.

An illustration of a person with long purple hair, reclining on a grassy hill, with clouds above, and a bird flying by. The person has a small personal recorder, with a microphone. She's wearing headphones, and is pointing the microphone up at the sky, recording the ambient sound.

An illustration of a person with curly hair and a pink plaid shirt, organizing artworks they've made and placing some of it into a box that is labeled "best work". This is an illustration for an art school, encouraging prospective students to curate their work when putting together a portfolio to apply to an art school.
