Keeping down the road of pseudo-fairytale inspired paintings.

Christmas tiiiime is here

So!

Here's the deal. I've been making Christmas cards for the last little while. They're all handmade and unique AND if you want a little holiday cheer in your life, e-mail me at irma.kniivila@gmail.com with your name and address, and I'll send you one!

Don't be shy, guys. There's a lot of them that need to be given away!

Those dastardly women; always up to no good.

The Sea

I've been doing a lot of paintings on Yupo paper lately; it's got a surface similar to Mylar but is white, thicker, and opaque.

Nudity prevention!

I made a t-shirt design for illustration. No actual pictures of the t-shirt yet, but it looks pretty fun!

Poor guy, never catches a break.

It's beginning to feel a lot like...?

I'll be heading back home to Calgary on the 15th of December; it's been about a year since I've seen my family, so I'm feeling all nostalgic and Christmas-y already.

I dug up some photos from last Christmas, where we went on a 3 day trip to the Banff area, stayed in a little cabin, ate and drank well, and went snowboarding.

Geez, I miss the mountains.

No tricks, only sweet, delicious treats

In order to raise money for our grad show, my good buddy Shauna Buck and I made up some handmade halloween treat bags. Each of them was handmade, using a combination of transferred illustrations and hand drawn detailing.

We made 20 all in total, and each one sold! Not only was it fun, but it was also rewarding. Satisfaction!

Neighbours

I did this illustration back in third year which had a cute idea, but absolutely stank in execution. Putrid stank!

(I think this was at the time where I was, for some reason, known for putting a face on everything. What? Who? This guy?)

In any case, I re-hashed the little guys.
