change of heart

So what’s a person to do on a sick day besides consume hefty amounts of tynenol?
Stay on Tumblr all day and do Illustration homework. I am surprised I was productive. Clicky for a bigger view.
Perspective project for Illustration called Change of Heart, where we depict a moment in our lives where we literally change in perspective of a person of a place. It was done by switching back and forth from Photoshop and Illustrator, attempting to emulate Nakamura Yusuke but putting my own twist on it.

Here are the videos, courtesy of youtube:
1. a very public space featuring the beloved fat pidgeons of the Island.
2. a very public space rarely seen, in which we took a trip down to the Kid’s Market.
3. an edge zone: the zone where a secure area abuts an area that is not secure, documenting the work of construction.
4. a performed gesture using the colour orange : that piece of paper was very loud.
go to “rakuen”
November 16, 2009
Go to “Rakuen” is a piece composed by the much beloved Yoko Kanno for Wolf’s Rain, one of the most touching animated stories I’ve ever watched. The series is produced by the powerhouse animation firm Bones, and the plot is simply amazing. The soundtrack for Wolf’s Rain is one of Kanno’s most famous works and was featured at the Vancouver Art Gallery’s “KRAZY” exhibition a few years back. I still remember sitting in that room for a good 2 hours just listening to the various soundtracks, but Wolf’s Rain was always my favourite.
Rakuen （楽園）translates to Paradise in Japanese and throughout much of the story, that is what the characters are searching for. From beginning to end, the piece is like a journey and really reflects the trials and tribulations of the wolves. I still remember the first time I heard it, I was speechless and stunned and was left in tears. Enjoy.
