BTS pin 2012

Every year I make 10 new pins for the studio and give it to my students. They don't get to choose which one, they are all seal in a envelope. Its was fun seeing them trading with others and getting the one they like. Here's a photo of the pin in production. took me a long time to design, print and make them. I am glade the kids like them :)

 

 

Tadpole Avengers!

I drew an Iron Tadpole and I had too much fun and decide to finish the whole Avengers gang!!! I had fun working on them and will make stickers and bin with them. If you are a student you can ask for them in the studio. if you are not and like them. email me, i will see what i can do :)

Still here...

Its been awhile I post anything here... I feel so bad about it.. Sorry guys..
Its not like nothing happening around the studio, it just lazy in my part. lol
Right now, I am gearing up for July and August summer camp. They are like 2 big monsters waiting for me around the corner!!!! I am just making poster, flyer and planing out all the new camp.
Big BIG changes also coming to the studio and I have been working on that as well.  Its going to be a crazy crazy summer!!!

painting five canvas

It was 4:00 in the morning and I am still in the studio, painting all the canvas painting!!! I need to paint all the samples for all the student to see. Its not very fun to paint five canvas at the same time. I feel like i am working in a factory...

Already for canvas painting!!!

This was taken couples of weeks ago, all new canvas!!! It cost me quite a bit to get all these canvas, but at the end all my students had fun painting them, Thats what matter the most. I will post more canvas painting phone soon.

Happy Halloween!

Made this in the studio, will light it up later on tonite. Now my whole studio smell like pumpkin...

New BTS Portfolio Class Blog!!!!

http://btsportfolioclass.blogspot.com/

Yes, its another blog from me. This one is just for my Portfolio class, so student can see each other work and learn from each other. I think that the most important thng about being an artist, to be able to learn and read into others artists' works. I wish this year portfolio well as they have alot of work ahead of them. 

So colourful!

Dead bird :(

A dead bird was find outside of the studio. I know you are supposed to call the city about it, but the kids were getting restless about it, so I just pick it up and put it in the trash. I fear if I don't do it sooner, it will get run over by a shopping cart, and that will be a mess to clean up....

cubism

This week we learn about cubism, using warm colour and cool colour. It was a fun class and most of the student enjoy it. Its just abit harder for the younger one to understand.

New Table

Finally got the change to build the new table I got awhile ago. Why I need a new table? I am getting some new computer and set this corner into a computer corner. Hope I have enough space... 

Flowers in the studio

Last week I brought in some flower and we just look at them and draw. Not a whole alot of kid like doing this, of course everyone like to draw cartoon, who want to draw some boring flower..... But its important to learn from drawing still life. I think at the end of each class, most of the student handle in pretty well and they all learn a thing or two. Its just not very fun for me trying to keep them alive for the whole week, since the plant is not getting alot of light in the studio... 

Camp Poster

Got some poster printed for the Summer Camp. The colour is abit lighter than I wanted it to be, but i guess its fine for now. I am still happy with it, spend abit of time designing the tadpole boy. You will see more of him for sure. :)
To see how I design him and more tadpole boy go to : http://andrewlaublog.blogspot.com/search/label/Tadpole%20Boy

New web site design

Couple week ago, I finally redesign my studio web site. I wanted to do that for so long. It took me a whole week to drew all the new icon and update everything. I also added all the Summer camp information. you can take a look here :

Painting with chocolate!



During the Easter class, we got to melt some chocolate and paint with them, it was always fun to use food as one of the media. How often you can eat a piece of art! All the chocolate turn out nice after they are done :)

Googly eye chicks!

We made these during Easter class, it was easy to make and the kid like it alot. Who doesn't like chick with googly eye!
