Summer Bingo Game

Wendy — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 13:58:26 +0000

Summer’s here, yay! These are summer-themed illustrations for a bingo game in ChickaDEE magazine June 2010 issue. I can totally see a youngster who’s bored on a road trip trying to spot all these things and filling out the grid.

Thanks to Trinh, my art director on gettin’ these done, they were a joy to work on!

Happy new year! Oh what a year 2009 has been, I can only dream of what 2010 will bring…

These are illustrations for ChickaDEE magazine Jan / Feb ‘10 issue. I created four hockey-related characters for a quiz titled “What’s Your Hockey Job?” I took the quiz and got the Coach. Hooray!

Africa

Pardon me for this rather late post but better late than never! These are illustrations for ChickaDEE magazine November ‘09 issue. It accompanies an article / guessing game about Africa and the materials used to build various dwellings.

I really enjoyed working in a loose sketchy fashion, glad I got the chance to work on this one. Thanks Trinh!

Eat it Up! Cookbook

Wendy — Fri, 01 May 2009 03:11:00 +0000

Guess what arrived today?? It was “Eat it Up!”, a children’s cookbook by Owl!

I was one of the illustrators who did step-by-step illustrations for recipes like Freaky Fries, Crunchy Fish Sticks, and Melty Munchies. Check out one of my spreads and the cover above. I just might make some of these yummies myself!

Owl: People Power

Wendy — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:47:00 +0000

This is an old web layout I designed for Owl magazine during my internship. It was for their World Watch section, which has seasonal coverage on a particular world issue. Mine was called People Power and it illustrates how a certain machine made the lives of women and girls easier in Africa!

“Friends or Enemies” Graphic Novel Snippets

Wendy — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:20:00 +0000

These are snippets from “Friends or Enemies”, a graphic novel I illustrated for Rubicon Publishing. The story is about friendship and peer pressure between three best friends. The main character has to decide if she wants to switch to a gifted school and give up her current best friends, while one of the girls can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Oh drama! Even teen girls aren’t exempt, are they?

I can relate to this story as I’ve experienced similar situations as a school girl, plus going back down memory lane always feels special. I brought my own experiences and memories into the illustrations as much as I could muster.

It will be available as an educational book for teachers and educators in August 2009.

The Innovative Boy

A classic Chinese fable which I remember from my childhood. My illustrative adventure with collage / digital collage was a fun one!
