Silver Award from ADCC Student Competition!

I have mentioned about ADCC student competition finalists couple months ago and there was an awards ceremony yesterday. It was their 60th annual award and I felt fortunate to be able to participate in this memorable ceremony. This award consists of numerous categories such as Advertising, Graphic design, Interactive, and Editorial design. I was very honored to receive Silver Award from ADCC Student Competition for "Restoring what is lost". Thank you so much for this incredible honor!

I received the award certificates and annual book after the ceremony.

This beautiful book cover was illustrated by Ben Weeks! He came to Sheridan College for the portfolio review when I was in 4th year and he is such a nice / talented artist. It was such an incredible night... Now back to reality and time to do more work!

This piece was done for the MyMidwest Magazine cover, November / December issue. The article was about various modern interpretations of the Nutcracker... It was a very challenging project, but I was glad that I was able to deliver the final on time. Click for larger images!

e-nikka

Few weeks ago I had an interview from e-nikka and it's now online. It is a Japanese news website (written in all Japanese) and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to show my work on their site. I was extremely nervous but it was great to talk about my work in person! Many thanks to Tomomi for the interview! More to come soon...

This piece was done for Canadian Lawyer Magazine. The article was about Ethnic law firms: Are they still flourishing while mainstream law firms are striving for more diversity. It was a very challenging project but I am glad I was able to deliver the piece on time. Many thanks to Bill for giving me such a great project to work on! More to come soon. Thank you!

Firstly, I would like to say many thanks for participating in the imagineNATIVE film festival. I hope you had a great time as much as I did!

I just received a new issue of EZ magazine from Japan. This magazine features a number of great artists and I felt very fortunate to contribute my work to this issue. Many thanks to Ikeda for featuring my work!


I have one more great news! I just received a message that this piece "All is mine" was selected as best work in show for ASIAGRAPH 2009 (Division I: CG Art)!!
