EricDesigns|MY ART

Self-Portrait Well not really a self-portrait, but was the person overlooking the lake is a less detailed image of me, in the Muskoka region in Ontario. Inspired by Lawren S. Harris, it was a successful piece were it represents me and the mentor artist.
Bad Hair Day Created in one of my visual arts classes, we were asked to create a character with a bad hair day. It was originally supposed to be done in black and white, but my teacher and I thought it would be a good idea to emphasize on the eyes by adding a stark red and deep blue with blood vessels in the white part of the eye. It was a very successful piece.
Toronto The 1st of the series of the Great Lake cities it was made with acrylic paint with a silhouette of the city with an analogous colours of yellow to a rich dark red that radiates from the CN Tower. It is also inspired from the Canadian painter Lawren S. Harris.
Othello Created in my grade 11 visual arts class we were asked to create a sculpture from sculptamold, newspaper and masking tape. I decided to create a Henry Moore like Shakespeare character. The main figure is the two legs and the long back the arms are the long protrusion in the front the block in where the arm is a rock.
Criminally Insane CD Cover This assignment was to create a CD cover for a made up band and then after the creation of the cover design we had to create a advertisement animation. I chose to create a create a heavy rock/metal group and the Greek lettering says "Transit of Pluto"
Agenda Cover Design This was done in grade 10 media arts, using Adobe Illustrator. The idea of the assignment was to create an agenda cover for the school. My main inspiration was the ROM and the Toronto New City Hall, where the red and green polygons were the city hall, and the other crysalis portion was like the ROM. In the background there are the TDSB (Toronto District School Board) characters of the month, done in InDesign then transferred where the opacity was lowered to create a transparent background.
Talent Show In the previous Talent Show creation this was the final copy that was printed throughout the school. Created with multiple fonts to express different aspects of talent. I was part of the committee that planned the talent show and was one of the judges as well. Thanks to Joel Lee for the drawing portion.
Still Life 1 Just like the still life before, this was done in Adobe Illustrator. This assignment like the other one shows the different colourations that one can create to emphasize different feelings.

This is a one-point perspective drawing done in pencil, it shows Museum Station on the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission). I got accepted into the program, but I went to George Brown College instead.

Mockup 1 for Talent Show This is one of two designs that I recoloured for my high school's talent show. The blue lights are like stage lights and the talent show words are like a spotlight. The main drawing was created by Joel Lee, but I coloured it.
Six Flags Chips In my Media Arts class in grade 11 we were supposed to create a design for food. I decided to create a bag of chips from a major amusement park operator, La Ronde is an amusement park in Montreal, Canada were I took the signature wooden ride Le Monstre and create a decorative pattern with trees to make the ride look like it is crawling out of the shadows. The flavours are sea salt and balsamic vinegar. I used Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. We had to create an animation for the ad.

Express Yourself Mural This is my second mural, which I did this by myself (the other one is a 10 person project) this one is also at my high school where it is located in the special ed office. This is to inspire kids with learning disabilities that creating art and expressing yourself is the best way to portray yourself, and to make yourself more creative.
Detroit This is one of my series that I did in Grade 12 art. Created with just pencil, this perspective skyline is as detailed as a sharp pencil could make. It is on a larger sheet of paper about 18x24. I am most happy about the Renaissance Center and the main downtown core.
Chicago Image 2 of the series that I did in grade 12. Another great lake city of Chicago. This time done in pencil crayon, on a Canson paper. The background shows the flag of Chicago and the foreground is the skyline of the city. Instead of creating the normal skyline I decided to create it into a crysalis form and abstract piece. This is a part of a larger series that will be the cities of the Great Lakes in Canada and the US.
