Squre Foot Show

Howdy! I'm taking part in the Square Foot Show at the All Canadian Jazz Festival in Port Hope, Canada. The show runs from Sept 25 - 27 2009.

Three of my Food Girls will be there! (but which ones???)

Also, this will be my first time in Port Hop!

Cheers,
Wendy

Day two!

Love her dress!

Cool zombies

She found a nice home for my tiny Sushi Girl print in her wallet!

Amazing costume!

haha

These are photos from the delightful weekend at Fan Expo 2009. Lots of fun, laughs and meeting friends and fans. Always nice to see the reactions from people to my Food Girls from laughing-out-loud to distant tilt-of-head followed with smiles.

Thank you all for coming and your support! See you next year :)

Love,
Wendy

Typographic Web Design

Hello, hello! Here is the latest tutorial I did for UK magazine Web Designer issue 161. This one focuses on creating a web template from typography and graphic elements. Veering from that, I went with the theme of a club poster promoting a fantastical party. Woo!

New Website

Hey folks! I relaunched my website, www.wendyding.com. It's now got updated work, a comprehensive bio page and more ways to stay in touch :) Check it out.

Also, had an AMAZING weekend at Fan Expo and got some nice pics, gonna upload real soon. It's just that my camera isn't functioning correctly so there's a bit of a delay!

Love,
Wendy

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!
