Some Sketches

These are some sketches I drew earlier this year. Although the majority of my finished work is done digitally, I will always enjoy exploring lines and shapes with pen on paper. Fashion illustration remains a favourite.

Facebook Fan Page

Greetings! I am pleased to announce that after much toiling and searching, I figured out the ways of Facebook Fan Pages. Big thanks to Google on that one.

Now you can "fan" me to see my artwork, updates and events! Clicky here: http://bit.ly/JDYTz

Waffle Girl: Progress 4

My internet cut out today thanks to reckless construction workers in the neighbourhood (who had the audacity to knock on my door and give me their business card!). So what's a girl to do sans world wide web? Brush up on Waffle Girl, of course!

The syrup is saucier, the waffle toastier and voila, there's even a plate in place! I'm approaching the end, yay!

Love,
Wendy

Waffle Girl: Progress 3

More work on Waffle Girl :) I got rid of some syrup as it got a little too sticky. Not so sure on the waffle texture just yet...

Gonna work on the background next. I'm thinking of placing the waffle on a plate so it relates more to the environment. Anyhow, I'm happy to be painting / vectoring away!

Xoxo,
Wendy

Fan Expo 2009!!

Howdy! After much waiting and anticipation, I got the word today that I will be back at the Toronto Fan Expo this year! These are pics from last year.

As there's less than a month to prepare, needless to say I'm gonna be bee-say! I will post pics of new merch and progress as it comes. Stay tuned!

The event takes place August 28 - 30 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (255 Front Street West, Toronto.) Hope to see you there!

Waffle Girl: Progress 2

Yay! More progress on Waffle Girl today, I'm happy. Also finding myself craving a whopping Belgian waffle complete with toppings for some reason... ;)

There may be too much syrup for now, but I'll see how the rest fits. She'll most likely get cleaned up a bit. More to come!

New Food Girl - Progress

I've finally resumed work on the latest Food Girl since starting it a year ago. She will be accompanied by fruits and other yummies! :D

I'm at the Beguiling

Happy Friday! A few copies of my short graphic novel "After June" is available at The Beguiling, a delectable comic book shop in downtown Toronto. Each copy is available for $7 Cdn. There's a section near the entrance dedicated to indie zines and that's where you'll find me!

"After June" tells the beginnings of an impossible crush I had two summers ago. It was exhilarating, obsessive, frustrating and hilarious. When I think back on it, I STILL can't believe some of the things that happened! Oh the woes of infatuation...

Here's a snippet of "After June": www.wendyding.com/storyboards.html

Here's the official Beguiling site: www.beguiling.com. It's located at 601 Markham Street in Toronto, Canada.

Hopefully you'll laugh along at my woes of infatuation with me!

Xoxo,
Wendy

These are pics from The Good Show, a fun art show by my collective Not An Octagon. We displayed our art goods at Balsam, a lovely restaurant in the Beaches neighourhood of Toronto. The night was full of relaxed and cool-for-mingling atmosphere with tasty treats and music!

Thank you all for coming and making this a wonderful night! More pics here.

80's Style

Hi! This is my latest tutorial appearing in UK magazine Web Designer. This time around, neon colours, fun doodles and patterns adorn the template in true 80's retro style. What fun! As a child of the 80s, it's definitely one of my favourite eras, if not the best. Totally rad!!

Bikini wants your vote!
