Happy Valentine's Day

This is my pop-up paper card I made for Valentine's Day. Another fun little project. I'll make the template available here later today. For now, here is a little video.

Update: I am no longer updating this blog as I have moved to my new website cardboardtreehouse.com I'll be adding new paper craft, illustrations, animation, and other offers on the new site. Feel free to pop over and have a look around. Thanks for your interest in my work.

Pop-up Birthday for my boy

Here is the pop-up birthday card I made for my son's 1st birthday party. We had a bunch of family and friends here yesterday (in the house and on skype) for a party for him and he had a really good time. He's one so I guess anytime is a good time when your schedule consists of eating, playing and sleeping.

In the card he is wearing an old set of pajama's that he has long outgrown but they were a favorite of his mothers. The chair is based off of his high chair but I didn't realize until I had the card completed that the oval on the back of the chair looks like a red halo. He is a cross of a monster and an angel anyway so that kind of works.

More stuff coming in the future but thanks for stopping by.

Mr. Monocle (100th post)

Here is another painting that I did for my son's first birthday. This also is my 100th post on cardboardtreehouse.com I be sure to post more often with the aim of getting to the next 100 posts in a more timely fashion. I really had some fun with this fella, I think I'll make him into a sculpture sometime when I have an opportunity. This was my first painting in some time. I painted him with acrylic paint on a 8X8 canvas. Hope you enjoy him. I'll be doing more paintings over the next little while so check back soon.

Septopod

Here is one of two paintings that I've done for my son's first birthday. Cute little Septopod painted with acrylic paint on a small 4X6 canvas.

why can't we be friends?

I went to a great event on Sunday called Podcamp Halifax. Great time with lots of information on social media and I met a great cross section of people from all over the place. While at the podcamp I had my handy dandy sketchbook with me and jotted down some ideas and I did it up on the 'ol computer last night. Fun characters that I might animate later on.

No particular reason for this image. Was doing a warm up and it turned into this.
