Updated art samples at Blazing Brush

The painting section of the Blazing Brush gallery has been updated with new samples, including the examples shown here.

New client: Hidden City Games

The Designery is excited to add Hidden City Games to its list of clientele.

They were the original creators of the Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon CCGs. Their CEO was the founder of Wizards of the Coast, which launched M:TG to collectors and gamers alike.

We look forward to providing artistic services for their Bella Sara line of collectible cards!

Portfolio section revamp!

A long-overdue, rather large update of the portfolio section of the Designery has seen the addition of new samples and the re-structuring of a few categories into one. Book interior designs have also been given thumbnails to make perusing through them much easier and more interesting.

Here are a few examples of what's new in the Portfolio section:

New downloadable portfolio and resume

The Designery now offers a small portfolio of art and design examples as a downloadable PDF file, in addition to the Javascript Lightbox gallery on the site.

I now also offer my freelance resume of professional design experience as a PDF (which also includes a subset of the above portfolio). For those wishing to see my past design and production experience, now you can! :)

All of these documents plus the gallery can be found on the portfolio page of my site.

GDC Membership

I am pleased to announce that I am now an Associate member of the Graphic Designers of Canada (Vancouver Island Chapter).

With over 1,000 members in nine chapters across the country, the GDC is the only national association in Canada for the art and design profession.

GDC seminars, workshops and events are some of the ways the Designery keeps up to date with the latest trends, skills and protocols of the graphic design and art industries.
